    Leaps and bounds better than the 1st Gen. I was hesitant about getting it because of the bad drift I experienced on the 1st Gen version (on two separate controllers, too) but I am glad I did. Crisp performance and connects seamlessly with my Xbox.

    Great premium controller until it inevitably succumbs to the faulty buttons or stick drift. I’ve gone through three while keeping it maintained with the upmost care.

    I got this controller to use on my pc. The inserts are magnetic so they stay in place very well. Controls have a good feel and vibration feedback is not too much. I love this controller.

    Beast mode controller… takes your gaming experience to an entire new level! The functionality and versatility of this controller makes it one of a kind. Not only that but, the ability to be able to customize the button mapping and color codes was dope!

    I had the previous Xbox Elite controller and really liked it. It’s rubber would wear off which I’m guessing may happen to this one as well. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because you can not change out the batteries on the new model. The whole controller has to be charged. I’d prefer to have a rechargeable battery pack and still be able to use normal batteries.

    Customization is great. Stick drift is still a massive problem. The Light up logo and color ability is neat. But for over $100 and the LS/RS hasn’t lasted a few months.

    Honestly, I was skeptical as I had the elite 1 and didn't see how it was going to be improved on. Well, internal reachable battery for one. Great feel on both sticks for 2 and included charger.

    Takes your gameplay to a whole new level! Also so many customizations you can do. My favorite feature is that you just recharge it with usb-c and it last for days on a single charge.

    Open box $91.00. Nothing wrong with open box especially with Best Buys ratings of the pre-owned products. Customer get something they want at a cheaper price than retail. If it’s not to your liking they will still let you return the item.

    I’d give it a 5 if I hadn’t had to replace it 3 times. These controllers are prone to random buttons failing. Get geek squad warranty. When it’s working it’s a… game changer (I’ll see myself out).
