    I would only recommend this if you purchase it open box. Otherwise for the price id get two controllers and charging ports.

    My favorite controller

    I have had both the series 1 and series 2. The series 2 is in my opinion much better. I also have the PS5 dual sense edge which is their version of the same type of controller and this one is much more consistent and I have never had issues with it. I just bought a new replacement after the one I bought when they first came out finally stopped working. Would recommend if you like the xbox controller design.

    The elite contoller is the best xbox controller I’ve used. I also have the all black one. Makes gaming fun. Will last if you take care of it.

    Amazing controller with huge flaws

    This is an amazing controller. The amount of ways you can customize the controller are huge, and the in console settings are also limitless. The problem is that this is hugely faulty controller. Face buttons were going out a little over half a year after it was purchased, and it was not used too much. And this is a common issue unfortunately. I've lucked out that i had total tech so I could easily swap out the controller for a new one. Cause for a controller that costs $170, these faults are inexcusable.

    Perfect Upgrade for Controller

    Exactly as advertised, a very versatile controller for XBox One with swappable joysticks and D-pad along with paddles and hair triggers on the back. Excellent battery life as well and comes with a great case to store the extra swappable parts, paddles, and charging station.

    It really is an excellent controller with a comfortable design and tons of customization options, but I still don't know if it is worth the $180 price tag which is the only reason I subtract a star.

    This is a very good product. It has been so much better than my previous controller. It has a lot of configuration with the paddles which makes it so good to use.

    A year later review: Bumpers are poor and don't work 60% of the presses you do, so you have to make your paddle buttons the bumpers. The top smaller bumpers don't work 50% of the time anymore. Both of the sticks are really loose so you have stick drift if you don't have a decent sized dead zone

    its a great controller, the paddles will take a bit of getting used to, but you can remove them easily if you don't want to deal with them, personally I prefer the grip on the era 1 elite controller, but this one is still a great controller for competitive players
