    The battery life on this controller is great. I don't play games a lot but the stand by is great as well. The control it's takes some time to get use too. I like the fact that I can set up the controller is great. I play most driving games and I can adjust the buttons to be soft or hard on the toggle's.

    No other controller has so much quality like this one. The build materials are amazing, the buttons and joysticks are great and customizable. The software on screen to customize your triggers and extra buttons is very easy to use. It stills the best controller that you can buy. Period.

    First time buying an upgraded controller. Stock controller was drifting badly. There are multiple settings on this. I have no idea what they’re for, yet. So far so good.

    Inner rechargeable battery a huge plus

    I really like the inner rechargeable battery that's now inside, I am just hoping it last long. Or at least if it should stop working it doesn't during my 2 year Geek Squad protection. And the over button modifications are still a plus over a regular Xbox Controller. I just wish the price was a lot cheaper

    Best control in my opinion. Love the added triggers on the back of the remote and being able to customize all buttons is really helpful and useful.

    This was bought for my grandson for Christmas. He loves the controller. It’s wireless so it gives you a little more freedom of movement.

    The controller when it works is fantastic! It may be my model or just a sheer amount of bad luck but these controllers for me have been very poor in the longevity department. As a fan of the Controller I’m disappointed to admit this but for the price and the reliability is just not worth it. Having to use your warranty to keep your controller in working order is quite annoying. As it can take up to a month before Microsoft returns it repaired or replaced with a new one.

    I will gladly pay twice as much for this because it is so sturdy. The regular controllers break after a year or two so it is worth the investment. I had the original elite for five years and this one is better in every way.

    I loved my Elite series 1 but after replacing the bumpers three times and having the rubber start to peel, it was time for a replacement. All is well so far, it is by far my favorite controller, I hope that it will work as well in a year.

    Yes, the price point of this controller is quite steep at first glance. But if you even know what an elite controller is/capable of doing, you realize its much cheaper than a custom Scuf with the same capabilities. I use mine for FPS games and couldn't be happier. Had Elite V1 and bought this, happy with both!
