    This controllers was a little expensive but worth the price. Very comfortable fit for big hands and hold a long charge. Works much better than the standard controller.

    better controller than a scuf. the padding for your hands keeps it from getting sweaty from food grease if you eat and play and its alot more durable and last a lot longer than scuf controllers. scuf controllers break so easy. ive had 3 scufs in 3 years and only 1 xbox elite series 2 controller for 2 years with no issues and the back paddles are easily replaceable for like 10 bucks on amazon

    I purchased this to replace my series 1 elite controller. Xbox is my primary console and I use it daily so the price point while expensive was worth it to me. I like the grip and weight

    Perfect controller and has not broken on me yet. If you want to avoid the cheap Xbox controller breaking on you then invest the extra couple bucks on this.

    Pros -The controller feels great and has a good weight to it -It makes a good 200 dollar paper weight when it inevitably breaks. Cons -Stick drift in first month and a half -Bumper buttons stopped working properly within first month -Rubber pieces that let you adjust trigger pull fell off within days after never even using them -Probably wouldn’t make as good of a paper weight because it would some how find a way to drift off the table or fall into pieces. All in all the features it did have were great and after the first one I bought I did buy a second and now have 1 week on it with no issues but after a total of three warrantee issues with the first one my expectations are super low for this one. Hopefully I am wrong and can update this if I am but all in all my experience with this controller leaves much to be desired. And I only bought the second one cause it went on sale and it was the best option available at my local Best Buy at the time

    Tired of running out of batteries or swapping batteries in the midst of a game, this is the controller for you, or the kids, or that someone you love. On a full charge you can get several hours of gameplay and it proves as a great alternative if you dont want to go for the elite 2. I recommend this purchase

    This was my first elite controller and it really made a difference! Learning to map the buttons how you want is difficult at first but once you do it and adjust, you will notice a difference! My game play has been better and a lot of my online friends have noticed a difference. The grip makes it always a comfortable hold even during intense situations. Adjusting the trigger is amazing especially with shooter games, I have had people think I had a mod because my trigger finger with a pistol was incredible. Honestly these controllers are expensive, but well worth it in the long run if you are an avid gamer. Please buy the warranty with Best Buy, it's worth it in the long run.

    Messes up a lot, gets drift eventually, requires reconnection at times. I love the grip, adjustability, and price is great. Best controller but it could be improved.
