Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this controller to play Elden Ring on PC thinking it would be the better choice on a Windows PC. The weight and feel of the controller was top notch, the ability to remap a lot of the buttons and reassign buttons to the paddles underneath was great feature....if the controller worked. I exchanged the first one due to the A button being unresponsive, hoping it was a one-off. After trying the new one, it seemed fine until a few days later then the A and Y keys stopped being responsive. So now I'll give up and go back to the PS controller (which I subsequently tried in ER and it was night-and-day difference). Overall, really disappointed in the quality for the astronomical price for the controller. Would have been great if the buttons all held up.

Great Present for a Special Grandson
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than ever.... so I'm the grandmom for a gamer that just turned 17 on the 4th of December. He absolutely loves this controller and sent me a screen shot saying "I need this". So I certainly know that he researches things awhile before he asks me and he is very happy with it.

Best controller ever
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller for mapping tasks on the paddles. Makes gaming extremely easier. FPS games is the best with this controller. If set up right you never have to move your thumbs off the analog sticks.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Found this on sale; it was an great replacement for my original controller. The replacement option was the plain xbox controller and once you play with an Elite it is hard to turn back.

If its available buy it!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as an open box excellent and it was like I purchased it brand new. It was nice getting a significant discount for something that appears to be barely used. It works well with my Xbox One X and my Dell gaming laptop and I am glad I purchased it to replace my 1st gen Elite controller.

Well built no issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this for a few weeks now and have about 20 hours of use with no issues. Had the Elite series one, this one seems a little more sturdy. Time will tell, the Elite series one held up fairly well with heavy use. replaced the bumpers once and the rubber was coming off. I like the interchangeable sticks and that you can adjust them.

Bad build quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this after having to Elite Series 2 controllers fail on me in less than 3 years and decided to try the cheaper Core version to save some money. It didn't go well. The right joystick was loose, and the cap not screwed on tightly and the stick spun freely. I was able to hand tighten it but didn't exactly feel confident at that point. I connected the controller and discovered the right stick was drifting badly out of the box, over 17% percent on input tester. Beyond that, the sticks just didn't feel nearly as good as a standard Elite Series 2, the right stick felt like it was grinding on the shell, not the smooth feel of the original, and the joysticks just overall felt cheaper. The whole controller just felt cheaper in general, and I decided not to pick up another one upon returning it. I'm just going for a cheaper controller at this point. I'm sick of having such bad build quality on $130+ controllers.

Great premium controller for Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller! I use it for all of my Xbox gaming, but bought it for first and third-person shooter games. The adjustments I can make have been helping me game play for shooter games. The grip is definitely better and nicer than the regular Xbox controller. No problems with the controller so far.
