BEST GAMING CONTROLLER
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far the best controller I’ve ever had. Excellent for FPS games, especially those with quick reaction time, this controller makes it quicker! The trigger stoppers and grips makes you feel so much more in the moment and definitely makes competitive gaming much more enjoyable. Even if you don’t have an Xbox, this is great for PC gaming as well!

Great Controller, Poor Quality Control
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller feels great in the hand and has a very nice weight and a overall premium fit and finish. I love the back paddles and the magnetic swap-able stick heads. The best feature of the controller in my opinion is that you can tighten the tension of the thumb sticks which is a game changer for me since I’ve always found the stock Xbox sticks to be too loose. The reason I’m giving this controller 2 stars is because the first controller I got had a loose and jiggly d-pad with both the circle and cross head on the right side of the d-pad. I exchanged the controller and the second one was even more loose then the first one so I decided to return it. I understand there’s always going to be defective products (especially with game controllers) however the fact I got 2 defective controllers back to back is unacceptable in my book for a premium controller that retails for $180.

Great Christmas Gift
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

Reason why to buy a Xbox elite series 2
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. I always use the elites, you just have to buy the warranty cause if you play a decent amount the controller does break easily

Best Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing feels so good in your hands. Love how you can adjust the shooting trigger. And adjust tension on the joysticks Really premium. Can't go back to a regular controller after this.

High Quality Controller with customization option
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is great. Super easy to change the D-Pad or the joysticks. My A button feels a bit sticky although it has not messed with my playing yet. Mapping buttons to the back paddles is extremely easy and can be done at anytime. If you do not want to use the back paddles, they come out very easy. This controller is great if you like to customize and plan on using the back paddles. I use the paddles not competitively like one would assume so even just mapping the A button to the back top right paddle can be nice for some.

Stepping up the GAME
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm super amazed at this controller. Received as a birthday present from wife. Apparently the BB employee pointed her in the PROPER DIRECTION... she knows I'm a hardcore gamer and wasn't looking for or needing a typical controller. This thing is a beast! I haven't even begun to exploit the power, but I've built a couple of game specific control schemes and felt the difference in make-quality. The internal battery life (~15-20 hrs) is definitely better than what I've gotten from my recharger packs from Nyko charging base (typically 10+hrs). And looking forward to solid compatibility with Series X systems!

Great improvements over Gen1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microsoft stepped it up with this contoller here are the improvements I really think stand out 1) Grips changed, my last to controllers they came off.. it is different on this one and feels like it will handle the stress of gaming longer 2) Buttons, the buttons feel better, from the lit up Xbox button to menue and ABXYs 3) 4 saved settings for different games, with the light indicator 4) integrated recharble battery and charger in case 5) smaller paddles making them better located for use Still working on cons list but here is the only one I have so far 1) charging cored is a little difficult to feed through the carry case to the charging base.

Excellent Controller but not worth cost
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Elite controller was just as good for sensitivity and control. The handles wore and started to separate from the rubber, so I needed a new controller. I'm not sure what was expected of this new controller, but it does pretty much the same. I do like the idea that it will be compatible with the new Xbox coming in Nov/Dec 2020. The one new feature that is great (so far) is the rechargeable batteries. I would use rechargeables in my old controller, but would have to keep swapping them out. With these, I just use the USB cord which I like a little more.

Unmatched Deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller was an open box/returned item and my expectations were not high. I used my rewards which cover$55. Si, bascially i paid $40 for a decent controller. All the buttons function and it is far better than using any third party controllers.

Good for what I paid for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what u paid for (used) it’s great! Unfortunately I was expecting to come in its original box but didn’t, which it’s still ok. It came with everything, the controller was spotless and scratch less too! But, as I expected for a used item, the left trigger had some registering problems on its lowest setting, besides that the rest of the controller works perfectly.
