    Son loves it . It has new features that he likes. Not crazy about the price, but it is what it is. This was a Christmas present. People have said to watch the flippers on this remote because they break. So we will see how long they last.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This controller is great for the longest time I swore I’d never spend this much on a controller…it’s worth it! It feels amazing in the hands-very textured and has a great weight!

    Got this for the gaming son, he loves it. Holding it compared with regular controller, there is a noticeable upgrade in quality and feel of the materials. He also loves the ability to customize the travel of the back trigger/paddle buttons so you don't have to push it down as far. Feels like a lot for a controller, but it is a nice one.

    I’ve had this for a month now and It’s the best controller I’ve ever had. I don’t plan on buying paddles, but the handles feel very comfortable and the customization of how far the triggers go makes the experience feel much more snappy

    The paddles on the back change your game. You can play much faster with the paddles because you dont have to take your thumbs off the joysticks. The trigger locks, thumbstick tension, and thumbstick deadzone adjustments are great. Id highly recommend this to anyone who games on Xbox a lot and is trying to break their skill plateau.

    It's comfortable. I don't use the paddles it's hard as I have long fingers. I really liked how you can tighten the joysticks. Only thing I really hate about this controller is the triggers. They are a weird feeling plastic and when they have sweat on them its slippery

    Fantastic controller with excellent preset options, alternate triggers and battery life. Switched from buying direct ( this is my 6th controller) to Best Buy as RB inevitably fails and Best Buy protection plan is the best.

    The buttons give up after a year of use, buy at your own risk. Ps. The regular controller works better save your money :)

    I probably used my elite 1 everyday 3-4 hours. 2+ years without a problem. So far 1 month in, it feels like the 2 is the same type of quality controller with some better features. Like thumb stick tension control and a built in battery that with my daily use last well over a week. So far so good worth the money if I go 2-3 years again.

    Very comfortable especially if you think the regular controller is a little small but it’s not a huge difference. Enjoy the better and customizable parts. 100% recommend product protection.

    Very solid controller with a nice weight to it. Adjustable tension in the thumbsticks is great and the charging dock inside the case was a really nice surprise. My only negatives are the lack of extra paddles being included and there not being a medium height thumbstick, the tall thumbstick is just a bit to tall for my liking.

    I'm on my 4th Elite controller. The bumpers (LB/RB) always go bad so I would strongly recommend getting the protection plan. It amazes me how much we pay for these for Microsoft to cut corners. I won't bash it completely, there are some positives. The grips are improved over the series 1 controller. The additional settings are great. I love the customizable tension in the sticks. Overall they are really nice. They're one of those tools that if it breaks or you lose it you have to replace it right away. It's just unfortunate that everyone I've ever had one of the bumpers goes on it, and it's never the same one.
