    Amazing controller!!!! Had good weight to it, texture feels great, all buttons feel solid not like the regular Xbox one controller. A big upgrade from the original Elite controller as well.

    Great controller. A little pricey but worth it. I bought it with Best Buy’s warranty just in case because of the problems I read about it, but so far no problems.

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.

    Super responsive and I love being able to map my buttons or swap for paddles. Recommend getting the warranty because sometimes RB and sticks can go bad.

    Nothing really negative to say about this controller. Feels very premium. I will say it's hard to avoid stick drift, so get the warranty if available.

    For the $ this one controller costs I guess it's great. Not sure why a controller needs to be $300 but i guess that's what people spend on their habit Works great

    Aesthetically better than the first one, the grips feel way better as well and it doesn’t get as dirty as the first one when holding it. The buttons are smooth and the new shirt throw trigger settings are plus!
