    This one makes you reevaluate how you’ve been playing, you have so much more control in the joysticks and buttons and trigger leveling infreases your action ratio; cery satisfied how customizable is

    This controller is definitely worth it! Most basic controllers last me a few months but this one so far has outlasted and out performed all others. Just buy it you will spend more in the long run replacing the cheap controllers.

    I think this controller is a step in the right direction for Xbox, because this controller here feels and handles more like an elite controller. The movements are flawless and effortless, plus the battery last longer and you charge the controller by putting it back in its case! It also shows the battery balance that let you know it's time to recharge!

    Awesome controller. Tons of great customization options via the Xbox app. Has a nice weight in the hands and feels comfortable to hold. The paddles work really well and are my favorite part of the controller. Tends to break down quickly like regular xbox controller unfortunately.

    It is a great controller while it works. I bought one and the A button would not work so I traded it in. The 2nd one I got worked great for a while but then the right bumper started to not work

    This is simply the best controller out there, period. I upgraded from the previous Elite controller and its worth the price to upgrade. My favorite feature is the adjustable triggers. For some games you want a shorter, quicker trigger and you can easily change it on the fly with the preset stops. The previous model required you to go and map start and stop points, now its automatic.

    This controller, along with the paddles, takes gaming to another level. If you play any FPS, I recommend buying this controller as you can fine tune the entire controller to your liking.

    The series 2 is more ergonomic then its predecessor. The paddles are a little smaller making it much less likely to accidentally hit a button while setting the controller down, the rechargeable battery has great life, 3 settings for trigger pull for more control and also the joystick tension is adjustable. Buttons can be remapped to suit what u want to do. All in all.. Great controller.

    Great controller with the exception of the left and right bumpers which start to stick/fail after about a year and a half of use. I highly recommend purchasing the two year warranty.
