    I have these congrollers and love them. When they go on sale for this much, I grabbed another. Just in case I ever needed one. That’s how much I like this controller.

    Found this on sale; it was an great replacement for my original controller. The replacement option was the plain xbox controller and once you play with an Elite it is hard to turn back.

    This controller looks great, and feels great. Really nice premium product at a premium price from a fit and finish standpoint, but it seems to have quality issues. Many reviews have reported problems in many areas, and I found some of these problems right out of the box in the first unit that I bought. One of my paddle buttons was almost none responsive it only worked about 20% of the time. I had Bluetooth connectivity issues where I would randomly drop connection mid game, and this happened daily The sticks have a lot of looseness in them, but I think that may actually be apart of the design. However it is not great for performance Returned it and got a new one, and this one seems to be good. The sticks still have a lot of dead one in them , and it does drop Bluetooth signal just like the first one I had sometimes, but I’m starting to think this might be a total design flaw. Over all the design and build quality is great it looks and feels really good. But the issues with many different features is a problem. A premium product should not have these issues straight from the factory

    Xbox series 2 core Controller is next gen!

    I really love this controller! Originally purchased an elite series 2, and traded for this and haven’t looked back. I bought some aftermarket paddles and I’m good to go for pretty much anything I could want to control in a game. I have found that it’s super helpful to map the L3 and R3 button clicks to the bottom paddles. That is worth the price of admission alone the triggers feel amazing, the grips in your hands on your skin just feel next level. I recently purchased an Xbox to play Starfield being a PS5 I thought I was going to have problems with the controller, but I prefer this one to the PlayStation. If you are a new Xbox user go for this upgrade with confidence!

    Wonderful controller

    I was a big fan of the elite series one controller and for those who are the same I will leave these comparisons if you're trying to make a decision on whether to buy the new one. The grip has changed from the soft touch to a more textured rubber. I'm not as big of a fan of it but that will be personal preference. The paddles have been improved, previously The originals were so large that I would usually take two off because they would get in the way. They have now shrunk them and shaped them in such a way that I can comfortably hold the controller while leaving all four on. The shape of the controller is still the original and not the newer design of the series X, which is unfortunate because I believe the series X style is a more comfortable fit. There's also no new share button and the profile button cannot be programmed to become the share button. I have yet to experience any stick drift or any of the other common problems that seem to occur with the elites. However, I have only owned this for a month and I never experienced any of those problems on my original. Overall, I believe if you were a fan of the original Elite you will be a fan of the series two.

    Really like the customization with both the back paddles and standard buttons. Back bumpers aren't as solid as the PS equivalent, but it's still a hefty controller with quality build and button/vibration feedback.

    I’ve had this for a month now and It’s the best controller I’ve ever had. I don’t plan on buying paddles, but the handles feel very comfortable and the customization of how far the triggers go makes the experience feel much more snappy
