    Very durable and well worth the upgrade. Totally can tell the difference in controllers and gameplay.

    A bit on the pricey side when it comes to controllers but has a premium feel and the extra back bumpers that can be remapped.

    Controller is good compared to the regular Xbox controllers, however after 10 months the right bumper started to give out, luckily I had the geek squad replacement plan, so I got a new one. Hopefully the new one will last a bit longer

    Iv'e tried just about all the top brand controllers and the Elite Series is in my opinion the best for high level gameplay. However, The life span of these controllers are very short. I have owned about 3 of these and eventually the controller will experience a manufacturer issue. Sometimes, the LB & RB buttons will give multiple inputs or not even execute the command when pressed. The same issue was experienced on all 3 controllers and not very helpful when you send them in for service and they return to have the same problem. Microsoft really needs to fix how they make these controllers and run better test to prevent these things from constantly happening. Best controller, but will probably malfunction eventually.

    Great controller, love the higher tension thumb sticks and paddles. Make sure you get the added coverage from Best Buy because as with any Microsoft controller, stick drift and button registration becomes an issue.

    I have a total love hate relationship with this controller. I had my Elite 1 for about two years and it worked great but eventualy the Y button failed and the stick drift was so bad that I upgraded to the elite 2. I also bought one for my 9 year old at the same time, within a few weeks my bumper started failing and stick drift was immediate, It has never not drifted, luckily I play war zone so I just adjust the dead zone and it has no affect in game. Unfortunately I didn't get a warranty with that controller so i bought a second one this time from Best Buy so I could get the warranty. Ironically the one that I got the warranty for has held up great with no problems except it also has stick drift...........

    Fantastic upgrade from the Elite 1. The built in rechargeable battery is great and lasts several days of heavy use. The paddles are reconfigured and are a little smaller and I find them more responsive. The build is solid. Dont hesitate.

    This is one of if not the best controller I’ve ever owned. The grip helps with perspiration, the paddles on the back help with gameplay, and the interchangeable thumb sticks are good for different games. I recommend this controller fully.

    I had the first version of the pro controller and I really liked it. The joysticks were always an issue though. This thing is awesome. I've charged it twice in a month and a half of use between my PC and Series X. The ability to adjust the tension of the sticks themselves is one of the biggest improvements. I tell my friends that play Destiny with me they need to get this controller all the time.

    Could be a great controller but...

    The controller is comfortable and bit heavy. Not over whelming heavy but feels substantial in the hands. The case and components are of good quality and allows for much customization. The main issue I had with the controller was the input and joy stick drifting. It feels as if there was something causing the A or B button to stick. It makes it unusable at time. Im sure if it were to be taken apart and cleaned, it would likely work fine but for a controller that retails at $180, you would hope these problems did not exist.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Love having more options to customize. I feel the price is a bit high for the value of those buttons. Battery lasts long and charges easily. The remote is well made.
