    Remote is amazing. However, I bought at the excellent condition open box price and the remote has pieces rattling in the inside and it did not come with the case, charger, paddles, and other accessories that are supposed to be included with this remote. They shipped it as a Elite 2 core remote. Thumbs down

    Brand new out of the box, and the right bumper button works inconsistently! Enough said. I will add that it looks and feels great in your hands, but so does my other Xbox controller, which I can charge on a Microstand charging stand on my desk, which looks great. This controller charges with a USB-C charging cable or in the carrying case. Either option is not as elegant as the stand I place the charger on, and it looks great. Also, the batteries are built-in and, over time, will need to be replaced, unlike other options that have access to the batteries. I knew about the reported issues with this controller but hoped these might have been correct but in my case, it doesn't seem so. Disappointed and returned.

    The controller seems to have a dysfunction on the right joy stick. When I fully rotate I can feel an object keeping it from smoothly rotating 360 degrees.

    Only worth buying with geek squad protection. Stay away if you aren't comfortable replacing this controller every 3-6 months.
