    The controller has felt great and worked flawlessly on PC and Xbox. only thing i recommend is to switch out the back paddles from scuf as they feel wider and give the paddles a better feel. (they are compatible BTW)

    Elite controller 2 not as good as the 1st

    Feels good when playing games. Only gripe is the first elite controller came with a carry case and some extra sticks and d-pad. What you see is what you get. Im not sure what the point of tightening the thumb stick does but it works.

    Why do I need the "Elite"

    This controller is good but is it the best? Ill never know. I only trust microsoft products for gaming as other controllers arnt labeled "Xbox" now. Do i think its worth it? Welp. Depends lol. Do you make 360 no scope trick shots and make your controllers beg for softer less manlier hands? If the answer is no then stick to your boring, worthless less cool standard controller. If you want those cool 460 non no scope tacticular cam kill kill killers ya gonna have to shell out the guap (Money) for the Elite. But good luck cus i have more hours in games then your grandma has hours in the kitchen so trust me. The regular controller is just fine! As far as upgrades from last year it has adjustable Thumbsticks (wich is the best upgrade IMO as my 360 no scope sensitivity demands a harder tug) and other cool customizations i could care less about.

    If you would like the All in experience, this controller is for you! It comes with everything from the paddles to a case and charging stand. You could go with the core version, but those dont come with any accessories. Overall great controller and great experience!

    What's better than an Xbox one elite controller? An Xbox one elite series 2 controller. More options, more programs, they fixed the issue with the paddles getting in the way of your fingers wrapped around the bottom of the controller. 3 programmable settings for 3 different games instead of 2 with the previous controller. Price us crazy high tho, add in the extended warranty and that's alot of costco pizza i could buy

    Most Comfortable Controller You’ll Find

    Most comfortable and customizable controller I have ever used. I bought this on sale for $130, and don’t feel that I overspent for what it is. I probably would not purchase at full price, as there are better options in that price point. I’m using on a PC, and it takes a bit of customization to get it right. But there is absolutely no lag when paired via Bluetooth.

    Picked this up a replacement for my last elite pro which I bough about 5 years Earlier. Saved myself the money on having an extra case as the extra paddles and knobs work on the new controller.

    I absolutely LOVE this controller. There are negative reviews for it though with buttons sticking and bumpers breaking but tbh I just think some people don't treat their belongings very well. Ive had no issues and love how easy it is to use. The back paddles do take some getting use to but once you do its very hard to go back to anything else. The battery is rechargeable through USB c and its good for about 40 hours.

    Great controller for mapping tasks on the paddles. Makes gaming extremely easier. FPS games is the best with this controller. If set up right you never have to move your thumbs off the analog sticks.

    I had the original Elite Series 2 controller so I didn’t need the extra accessories for this controller. The white on black color scheme looks so dope. The cheaper price is also a plus if you don’t mind not having the paddles and thin sticks! Great controller!
