    Great controller has a premium feel to it. Nice weight and the adjust ability is great to have. The only gripe I have is the paddles.. the scuff ones on the v1 were a little better.

    Good value as I didn’t require the bumpers. Controller feels solid and comfortable to hold. No 5 star due to a rattle after a year of use in the vibration. Never dropped or damaged which is unfortunate.

    Controller is great, feels way better than the ones that come with even the Xbox Series S. Time will tell if its a quality controller but for right now, I'd say it is.

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    Great option for replacing Elite Series II

    Great replacement for the Elite Series II. With the known wear out of the Elite Series parts, this is a great option to replace just the controller. If you’re a first time buyer, highly recommend finding replacement accessories off Amazon. Allows ESII users to replace their controller for more affordable price.

    The elite series 2 controller is an excellent upgrade from the standard Xbox controller. The addition of the paddles on the back help to make FPS games like Call of Duty flow easier when you do not have to move your thumb off the analog sticks to reload. The variety of accessories that can be bought for this Core edition makes it an easy buy.

    Great controller when it actually works

    This controller is awesome when it actually works. I’m already on my 3rd due to various issues though. It seems almost impossible to find one which isn’t defective out of the box. Issues I’ve seen are buttons sticking on the face and shoulder, double inputting for face buttons, stick drift, and now on my newest one, it will randomly power off on its own. I’d say unless you are a diehard elite controller fan, maybe look at a third party offering for a premium controller
