    Overall, its a great controller but it’s pricey. I love the customization options and the battery life, and I don’t regret the purchase at all. It’s probably closer to worth the 139.99 price I’m seeing it discounted to now If you’re strapped for cash, theres nothing wrong with the regular Xbox controller. If you can afford it but are unsure, it might be worth considering the cost of a battery or two for the regular, and figure out how much all the other extras are worth to you.

    The controller is great when it works. A lot of people eventually have problems and need to warranty it. I've gone through 4 or 5. Stick drift, stuck buttons, unresponsive bumpers. Still would buy it again, built in battery and the overall experience is unmatched compared to the regular controller.

    Buying this controller has to be a great choice and well worth the money. It feels great in the hands with grip and weight. Buttons are responsive and joysticks and dpad are feels great.

    I ended up returning this item. I like the charging station it came with. The paddles on the back are a really nice addition. Unfortunately it had stick drift very quickly. I returned it because withing a few days I had regular stick drift. So, I could tell it was at a higher quality and better controler but the stick drift so early on was something I had to return for. For the dollar amount, I felt there should be no issues with it day 1.

    Nice remote works well with no issues. I preferred the black edition, but settled for this one; I just didn't see the need for so much more money just to receive an all-black edition.

    Great controller with added paddles in the back, different trigger options and has nice grip. I highly recommend the controller if youre looking to enhance your gaming experience. Has Bluetooth capability to connect with your PC/Laptop if you're going to use it for that.

    This is my second one. The first was great for about 9 months but then I developed stick drift even though I keep it in the case and my hands are always clean. The reason I bought another is because I tried to use a stock controller but I'm used to the elite. No other controller feels as solid or as high quality as this one. I've tried the Scuf and if you hold this one, you can feel the difference. I'll not go to another brand for as long as I play

    Great controller with a good feel and tunable joysticks. This is a great lower cost replacement if you already have an elite 2 and can swap all of your paddles and accessories over. I get about 2 years of heavy use out of each and the core option saves me money. Glad microsoft de ided to release them.

    I own many Xbox Elite controllers I've had my own from the Xbox Design Labs I've actually bought core controllers in the store and then turn them into what I wanted afterward I bought in several of these it's just some may show up on my phone some might not to this day I haven't had one break on me not one except for the first one I ever bought which was on Amazon which proves my point about quality control and also Microsoft got a lot better making them because I used to get them direct from the Microsoft store and the version ones they just were not that great I mean it's a matter of preference what style you like I like this and prefer it to the dual Sense Edge for sure most comfortable gaming controller I use it when I game on other devices as well

    I have owned this for a month. I will updated if I have any issues in the coming months. I did not own the series 1 so I can not compare. I also do not play everyday, but more like 3 days a week and I have not had to charge the controller a second time yet. My favorite feature is the tighter tension on the thumbtacks and the hair triggers. I have no buttons that stick and they all register with a normal push. Nice heavy feel to the controller. The charge dock is a huge bonus and love that you are able to charge it in the case. No complaints yet. Highly recommended.

    I'm a PC player that likes to use a controller with casual games like Fallout and GTAV. I purchased this because i prefer the Xbox form compared to PS. The weight of the controller is fantastic, the buttons feel great. the whole thing just feels very premium. I went to a buddies house and used his regular Xbox controller for the night and I felt like a pleb in comparison. Night and day difference, 4 stars because the price is just as heavy as the controller.

    Love the customization. Lots customization. Only thing I hate on this is the price. Hoping it last longer than the original since that started to have left joystick “stick-drift”. Wish the battery was removable. Feel like MS did the whole recharge battery thing knowing that rechargeables only last so long. Meaning more money for MS if it’s time to replace because of a battery death. We shall see what dies first: the joystick or the battery

    Many people told me not to purchase due to a common stick drift problem that comes about. But after almost a year with it I’ve never experienced any problems it’s been very reliable comfortable in hand and it is very customizable

    This controller is great. Seems like there were some quality issues with the first series elite controller but this one appears to have better quality. Had it for a couple of months now and showing very little signs of wear. Being able to switch out the sticks is what I like the most about it. The added paddle buttons help, but be aware that they don’t act as extra buttons. They only replace current buttons or can act as a shift button.
