    If you’re looking to upgrade your Xbox controller; I highly recommend this controller. I love multi-tasking and this makes it happen. The buttons are so smooth.

    Always love these controllers sadly this is my third one over time the left thumb stick seems to never recenter completely it's not that noticeable until you're playing a game that requires precision and this is also the second controller where the right bumper also messed up and sometimes doesn't work.

    couldn't be happier with this item I'm a PC gamer who in rare cases prefer the conformity of a controller over mouse and keyboard.

    I like how the controller felt in my hands when i first used it. Very premium feel. Should bought one of these a long time ago lol. I like how i am able to make adjustments to my controller ans have it set with profiles. Tif you sre looming for a great controller for your Series X you should give this one a try. Just my opinion

    I got 3 different controllers and all of them had a problem where the A button wouldn’t work if you pressed it a certain way. My brother had one where the A button would get stuck in the down position. The updated paddles are better than the old version. I think it’s the best gaming controller out there when it’s working properly.

    Stick drift after 3 months of casual use

    I love this controller. It feels very nice in hands. The grips are a huge upgrade over the Series 1 controller, and having 3 presets also makes a huge difference. After 3 months of use though, I got major stick drift. Best Buy will not help but Microsoft has a 1 year warranty because of this problem. I'm sending my controller to Microsoft now for free but it will take 2-3 weeks to get a refurbished controller sent back to me. I'm very upset that there are no good controller companies with paddles that aren't the overpriced scuf controllers. It's a bummer that they didn't just put nice joysticks in this very expensive controller. Other than that, it is really great but that is game breaking.

    Love these controllers. Had the elite series 2 for like 4 years and it finally gave up. Getting the core after allowed me to use my spare parts from the elite series 2 to customize the elite core. It’s a more affordable option if you already have elite parts!

    So when I finally got my hands on the series x I bought a second controller so my son and I could play. The x box controllers are great! This controller is a total game changer. If you play FPS games having those paddles on the back will automatically up your game. This thing feels rock solid! I love that you can set the trigger distance, that was a big plus! Bottom line I would have went straight to this controller! It rocks!

    Good controllers as I don’t have the need of the more expensive controllers. Only thing I notice is the buttons and joysticks can stop working after a year or more

    The controller is great, it actually did improve my game! And as a testament to how good the grip is, I accidentally left the controller on the roof of my car. Not knowing I did I drove of went to two different places (gas station and friend’s house), to my surprise it was still there! I couldn’t help but laugh.
