    Easy to Use and works amazing for FPS. I highly reccomend buying this especially if they don’t release an Elite 3 controller.

    One Controller to Rule Them All

    Controller is extremely nice. Build quality is great, it is extremely responsive and offers an extreme level of customization. You can add back buttons for increased ease of use, but you can also remap every other button, and save the layouts into three different presets. It is expensive, but would be great to look into if you find yourself wanting more from your gaming experience. Caution to those who are buying “open-box.” Mine was considered “Excellent” but was heavily worn and smelled funny; it was returned promptly

    Good quality and comfortable. Feels solid even with control sticks that are customizable. I like that you can charge the controller while it is in the included carry case.

    This control is solid in so many ways. Great accessories, feels great in hand which we come to expect from x box. But the "pro" functions set this above its peers and make it worth the money. Triggers are smooth and quick for fps but still reaponsinsive for driving games. The ability to tighten thumbstick tension is a gamechanger. The back paddles are comfy and let you keep thumbs on sticks so you get to play better. All in all id buy this again 100/10 times

    Controller is very nice and well made. You can program it to do whatever you want. It’s solid and a nice weight. My favorite feature is that it charges when you put it back in the case, no plugging it in. I use this controller exclusively now.

    Love the feel of this controller. The rubbery grips give a better tactile feel. Slightly heavier, but not so much it feels uncomfortable. Haven’t played with adjustments just yet but the options of swapping out buttons is a definite plus.

    It’s a decent controller: had good weight, feels better than original. Experience a little stick drift right from new but I’m a casual gamer so it is what it is..

    Works great, feels good, I really like adjustable tension for the thumbsticks it keeps that fresh controller feel. Really wish this color scheme came with the paddles though.

    Controller has a very premium feeling. I had the last variation of the Elite controller and it served me well for a couple of years. Eventually I started to get some stick drift and the rubberized grips started to come off. This controller is nicer than it's predecessor and I've seen no such problems yet.

    Really nice. My son loves it for the games he plays. Fortnight is good with it because of the paddles he can build immediately without backing out and the other games work real well with it. The paddles are very convenient. Pricy though.

    This controllers battery has a long battery charge and I like they use a C type charging cable. This second generation Xbox elite controller is a lot better than the first generation controller because they did Add more upgrades to it to customize it to your play style
