    I'm not a huge gamer that uses the extra paddles. However, the controller is really comfortable and nice to use. The trigger locks are even nice to experiment with in between games. However, I've heard of a couple people that have had problems with theirs right out of the box. So, if you get one that has everything working you should enjoy it.

    Great battery life, wireless charging is amazing, and the comfort of the grips makes the controller that much better. It is much lighter than the previous elite controllers and also offers 3 user profile settings. Easy to remove paddles and improved trigger adjustments. Well worth the price!

    Let me start with the positives. The magnetic analog sticks are extremely nice and easy to change, the trigger settings are also easy to use and a welcome feature, and the paddles are well placed and customizable. The controller feels premium in your hands as well. The problem is there is a noticeable amount of stick drift, the pads on the switches for the triggers are coming off, and the controller gets very warm in your hands making them sweat. Also the A,B,X, and Y buttons just don't register sometimes leading to multiple presses being required. For the price point these issues shouldn't be there. I would recommend getting a scuff controller if you're looking in this price range.

    I love this controller. It looks and feels like a quality piece of kit. Sadly as good as it is I find it breaks often. Definitely recommend getting a replacement warranty on this controller. I expect a controller to fail eventually but this thing always has a failure within a year. I’m by no means hard on my controller either I in fact take great care of my stuff. For nearly $200 I’d like this thing to not have a back button that fails to register after 6 months of use. I still rate it high because it is arguably one of the best controllers ever made but it seems they cheaped out on some components.

    Amazing controller overall. had it for 2 months and i do say it is durable since i do have a little sister who touches everything and is able to starch on things easily. i feel like there's drift at times but you can configure the controller to no do so. it's very versatile and i recommend it for its fast set up

    Comparing this with the series X stock controller. A significant improvement. Good quality weight. Quality metal used. I do wish there were resistive triggers like on the PS5 or a Taptic Engine instead of a traditional vibration motor, but still a fantastic, click controller.

    Awesome! Just understand what you’re getting first

    Great! Just understand what it is you’re getting. This is a USB C rechargeable controller. The DPad and triggers are different. It comes with sliders on the bottom of the controller to adjust how quickly the left and right triggers are pulled. But that is the extend of the controller. The more expensive elite controller 2 comes with a charging case AND the paddles, while this controller does seem to support the paddles, it does not come with paddles or many (if any at all) other thumbsticks. The other thing I’ve noticed is some games are built for the regular Xbox controller, so even if you can pull the trigger faster, due to game mechanics, it won’t matter what your reaction time is.

    It's a lot more expensive that a regular controller for something I'm not really getting 100% out of. If you already like a regular Xbox controller you won't mess with the parts much. The internal battery and charging case is cool. The feel is nice, I get the point of paddles but idk when you will really use them

    The back buttons are so useful for call of duty and the rechargeable battery eliminates the need for AA batteries. Pricey but worth it and it doesn’t come with the peddles.

    I use this on PC and I find it to be a stellar controller, even more so as a guy that came from console to PC. I do use it connected and not over Bluetooth, however the responsiveness, weight, and overall feel are among the best I’ve ever used. The highly recommended this controller to any console or PC gamer!

    Great controller. I bought this for my shooting games Call of Duty and Destiny. I would recommend configuring the controller through the Xbox accessories tab whenever you make adjustments on the controller itself.

    I recently purchased the Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller and I’m really enjoying it. I wanted a controller that had more customizable features and this one has proved to be an excellent choice. The adjustable thumbsticks, directional pad, and multi-function buttons provide plenty of options for fine-tuning the controller for specific and personalized settings for gaming. It's also quite comfortable to hold and use with its rubberized grip. The wireless connection has been reliable and very responsive, providing lag-free performance. I would highly recommend this controller to anyone looking for a customizable, comfortable, and reliable gaming control.
