    Great premium controller for Xbox

    This is a great controller! I use it for all of my Xbox gaming, but bought it for first and third-person shooter games. The adjustments I can make have been helping me game play for shooter games. The grip is definitely better and nicer than the regular Xbox controller. No problems with the controller so far.

    Best controller ever, I enjoy the option of not having to spend more for the paddles when the paddles aren’t ever the issue. The customization is great as well

    Great controller just wish they were a little more durable. Probably the best all around premium controller all things considered. Hall effect thumbsticks would make it essentially perfect.

    Great out of the box but has not withstood the kids abuse and use. Have had to had geek squad check it out twice in a short time. This Would likely last a long time with adult use. Added functions are amazing and customizable. Get the geek squad protection!

    Great FPS purchase, but the paddles on the back are worth it. The linger sticks youd want to use for precision aim. Be wary of your LB and RB, most elite controllers' bumpers can be built a little weak

    I have had this for a few weeks now and have about 20 hours of use with no issues. Had the Elite series one, this one seems a little more sturdy. Time will tell, the Elite series one held up fairly well with heavy use. replaced the bumpers once and the rubber was coming off. I like the interchangeable sticks and that you can adjust them.

    Fully customizable within windows set dead zones color for the xbox button. Configure trigger as a one touch so it acts like a mouse click as soon as they are pressed or make them better for a throttle.

    My right joystick started to drift after about a month of use :( The weight, paddles, attachments, and accessories are all well made and felt great to hold however!

    The paddles are smaller than the series 1, so it took a minute to get use to, but they do feel better, and you can set the controller down without one of the paddles hitting your desk, which happens on the series 1. Also having a rechargeable battery is great.

    For an OEM controller, its great. Durability and longevity really depends on your use. Make sure to get the 2 year extended warranty from Microsoft only. You can buy paddles for cheaper third party
