    I’ve had this controller for over a year now almost 2 years and use it almost every day on my computer, not once have I experienced issues with drift or buttons failing, the quality is really nice feels very solid and the interchangeable buttons to swap is a nice feature and I love the triggers adjustments you can do

    It is an elite 2 without all the extras. Great for replacing broken elite 2. Im not a big warranty person but i highly recommend getting the warranty. Saves you about $70 (if you buy the warranty again after turning in broken controller) and saves you the headache and stress of getting a new controller. If you start getting stick drift, button stop working, controller stops charging, battery stops holding a charge, etc, take it to bestbuy, redeem the warranty, they give you the new controller, buy the warranty on it for $50, and you are back to gaming. (Warranty is 2 years, its a new controller)

    Great for shooting games like call of duty. I just don't like that it starts to have issues within a year. Button will start to stick or could get stick drift. I would recommend to purchase additional insurance.

    Works exactly as I desired for my gaming PC. Bluetooth connects to the PC and Steam games are playable like a dream. When needing to charge, I can plug it in with the included USB cable and charge while playing.

    I've had two previous Elite Series controllers. I definitely see the upgraded quality on this one against the previous version. The built in battery and the case being a charging case is also awesome. Idk if its because i've gotten use to the Series X controller or previous Elite controller but this one feels slippery. It just feels like it can fall out of my hands for some reason. I wish i knew why it felt that way. I also didnt know it didnt have the feature of quickly switching from PC to Xbox like the Series X/S controller by double tapping the sync button. I guess that new feature is something i've gotten use to. Regardless this controller is still great. The wireless charging is so convenient even with the fear of it degrading over time.

    Words can't express the quality of this controller. It blows any of the other wireless controllers away with its solid construction. It has metal buttons, interchangeable joysticks and D-pad. You can fully remap the controls plus you get the 4 extra trigger buttons to use if wanted which is sweet. The internal battery is a beast! I charge my controller maybe once a week now versus every day. It really lasts 50 hours+. The grips on the controller work great, plus it's the same size as the standard controllers so it feels right in your hands. Last but not least it comes with a well built, rugid carrying case that can charge the controller while it's inside. This controller is a must have for any passionate gamer! You will not be disappointed!

    This is the best Xbox controller you can get currently! The rubber grips and paddles paired with the thumbstick tensioners make the the best controller you can get on the console currently! Don’t pass it up!
