    Good quality control, doesn’t come with back paddles, no big deal here but if looking for a true elite control not this in.

    It is a great controller for going pro or other (etc) but my only issue was the bumpers stop working and need to have pressure applied to them

    So much better than series 1. Little disappointed that there’s not two extra long joysticks as I use those on the series one. Overall feel is greatly improved grips are great the battery life is phenomenal and be able to charge it right in the case is even better.

    This is the best controller I have ever used. I already had one before purchasing this one, this one is a gift for my nephew. The only thing that I can say is that the price might not be in everyone’s price range but if you can afford it I would highly recommend it.

    Heavy duty, way better than the normal controller. Feels a lot more premium, should come with every xbox. A little expensive though.

    Completely customizable controller that has a solid feel in your hands. It looks amazing and performs flawlessly. Once customized to your liking, the game play becomes so much easier. It has taken my enjoyment of my Xbox One X to a whole different level. I highly recommend this controller.

    These open box elite controllers are used. People use them for months then bring them back. Look at the buttons and other rubber parts you can se how used they are . Best Buy is misleading. Open box controllers don’t leave the store and havnt been played with games . But a new 1 they are awesome.

    Disappointed, had to return the first one as buttons came broken, and reordered a second, it worked, and I loved it, so I give it 3 stars, rapid hairtriggers, paddles are good addition.

    Hands down the best remote I've ever played with. Came to Xbox from 20+ years on playstation. Moved for headphones add the primary reason and was totally bowled over by the outstanding awesomeness of this remote. It's THAT MUCH BETTER. Period.
