    My son in law loves it. The separate case that it sits in charges the controller and it has different knobs and buttons to change out.

    I bought this one after my fist Elite Series 2 started suffering from runaway thumbstick and unresponsive right bumper after 2 years of steady use. Since i already had all the additional accessories from my first controller, there was no need to buy the full set again. I would give this controller 5 stars, but it’s known to suffer from a limited lifespan. Other than that, the feel and performace of the buttons and paddles are still my choice compared to other controllers.

    Great remote this one is actually worth the money. I’m going to go buy one more even though my warranty was accidentally cancelled. it’s all good because if I hadn’t dropped it Hella hard running to get the dog trying to get my food I’d still be gaming still. Even After drop still no stick drift only issue was lt trigger damage won’t work on tier 3 sensitivity still works not perfect. I don’t know the difference from this and the core but I know I like this specific remote please keep this one in stock Best Buy

    This is only worth the cost if you have a current broken elite controller or you want to find after market sticks and paddles.

    Extremely happy with this controller, gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of how different the paddles were from the first elite controller. It took some time to get used to after using the original elite controller for years. Definitely worth the upgrade to the series 2.

    Sturdy construction, quality feel. A lot more durable, IF you get one that was assembled well. I’ve had friends who bought brand new ones that had shoulder button issues in the first month.

    While every controller eventually wears out the thumbsticks, this is by far the best controller ive ever used considering ive been playing on xbox since 2001 and ive even competed before where i would wear out thumbsticks every 3 months. This controller is for sure the best feeling controller and the thumbsticks lasted over a year on the first one i had. Not to mention all the features of thumbstick tension control, button customization, and trigger travel. I cant say enough good things about this controller. I only hope they continue to improve the durability of the thumbsticks even further.
