    My husband loves his remote. We've purchased the elite series several times. The previous versions had issues over time, specifically with the joystick and L1 button. We will see how long this one lasts.

    I know the price seems high for a controller, but I swear by this controller. The weight feels nice, the build quality feels great and I’ve had to stick drift or button issues. Love it

    My son says it's great, plays with it a lot, but for 3, times the cost of a usual controller, it is not 3 times better. It was bought as a special gift, not as a normal purchase. If you've got money to spend, buy it, if you think it's too expensive, the normal controllers are good.

    Everything is excellent, I like that it was cheaper without all the attachments I dont use. Solid feel and response is perfect. Plugged righ into my PC as well and works great.

    Can't say enough about this controller, it's just awesome! I'm normally a PS guy, however bought a Series X and this controller is the only controller someone should use. It changed the way I game 100%. If you're concerned about the price, don't be it is worth it.

    Its solid and works amazingly well on xbox and windows. If you are a mac user go for a ps4 controller. I had to have it repaired once the left joystick stopped working after it fell (short distance). But Microsoft got it all fixed up and back with very little issue ... best repair service experience I have ever had

    i have a team of expert reviewers (my three grandsons) who put this controller through an rigorous testing regime over the last few weeks. They all three said that it was great. The fact that it stood up to their nonstop and sometimes energetic playing means that it is durable as well as great.

    Very good quality, easy to use, cool that you can customize it to how you play by buying the accessory pack which is only $60

    Elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever owned, and getting the protection plan from Best Buy (I have total tech now, so it's included in every purchase at no extra cost) was a no brainer!

    I bought this controller because I wanted to use the paddles. It took some getting use to but now I feel out of place using controllers that DONT have the paddles.

    Only issue ive had is bumpers being a lil weird (notorious in all xbox controllers). They sell a kit for them though so not much of an issue.

    Loved the look and feel of the controller, having owned an originally elite. ‘A’ button stuck fresh out of the box, had to return it, were our of stock, will probably buy again next time I wonder into store, elites are worth the money, just need to find another
