    I love everything about it but the price. Its been about a month and quality/build seems excellent. I really enjoy the controller but i still struggle with how much the cost was. I dont regret the purchase but I dont know if i can recommend someone else to spend the same for it.

    Its amazing to the touch and far more reliable than the standard controller. You can just tell the difference in quality between the standard controller and the elite controller.

    Love the integrated rechargeable battery. New features like 3 programmable mapping on the controller and new stick tension adjustments. Much improved from previous Elite.

    One of the best controllers I’ve ever used. The ability to reconfigure your button mapping is amazing. If you have the money to waste on a gaming controller, this is the one to buy.

    BUY THE GEEK SQUAD COVERAGE

    Excellent construction and pairs easily with my PC. I use this controller primarily for manual driving in racing games but serves perfectly fine for all types of games. The assignable paddles make customization an absolute breeze! **Warning** These have a tendency to fail in the first year so I recommend buying the Geek Squad coverage to protect your investment!

    Great controller with the exception of the left and right bumpers which start to stick/fail after about a year and a half of use. I highly recommend purchasing the two year warranty.

    The feel of the controller is quality. Being able to adjust stick tension has improved my gaming. The paddle shape and layout work for me, less accidental engagement under stress. Button mapping is sophisticated, easy, and accomplished on the Xbox. I’ve been using this controller for a couple months now and have had zero issues.

    Good controller not great. Had some drift that was easily fixed by tightening the stick. But now have a R1 issue in which it is not responding on the first push which is a problem. It was the first issue I had with the elite 1 controller.

    Love the v1 so had to get a v2. Consistently sold out until I got lucky. Wish I could pair it with a series x… (looking at YOU Best Buy). Would like to buy more stuff from Best Buy and not get threatened about my credit card being canceled from lack of activity cause BB can’t get merchandise in stock…

    I’m actually rather impressed with the build quality of this controller. I bought it because I keep having a problem with my triggers getting stuck on all my other controllers, and so far I haven’t had any problems. We’ll see if it keeps up, but so far it’s been great! Only reason it’s 4/5 is the price. Quite expensive unless you buy open box like I did.

    This controller is without a doubt the best controller you can get on the market. Bluetooth makes it compatible with more than just Xbox, and the durability/quality is far and away so much better than the version 1 that it makes it look like a joke. Battery life is stellar so far and the added case with charging dock built in works very well. Wish the battery was removable, but 40 hours per charge is great.
