    I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.

    Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

    At first I thought the 200+ price point was outrageous but actually using the controller I can see why it was necessary. The controller is great, at first the diamond textured grips felt wierd but i got used to it. I have been using this non stop and the best part is I barely have to charge it. I played games for an entire week on one battery charge which to me is pretty outstanding. And the adjustable control sticks just make it all come together. Whatever game I choose to play the sticks are able to support the comfort and usefulness that i look for. I highly recommend this as a pick up.

    This is my second elite controller. I've had it for a little over a year and the buttons are already going to crap. It gets a three because when it works it's great. However, I wouldn't recommend this controller to anyone.

    I do love these controllers even if theyre sold at a lessened price for not having the extra accessories. They work really well with comfort grips and access to many functions despite not being sold with the aforementioned accessories. I do hope this one lasts because elite controllers are infamous for not having a long shelf life.

    This is a hefty controller that definitely feels premium at first touch. Don't let the weight fool you, though, as it's still the same mediocre controller underneath and will suffer from the same points of failure as any other xbox controller. Definitely not worth the price.

    There’s no better controller out there!

    Impressed with how much of a upgrade the elite 2 is compared to the elite 1, it brought a smile to my face and was not regretting my purchase as soon as I held the elite 2 in my hands! The improved choices of analog sticks makes the controller feel like it was made for you. Having 3 configuration for the back paddle mapping compared to the 2 on the elite1 is the prefect amount, with also having a default setting making it seem like 4 button mapping layouts. Would recommend to anyone especially the to the elite gamers who want the most out of their gaming experience!

    This controller was an open box/returned item and my expectations were not high. I used my rewards which cover$55. Si, bascially i paid $40 for a decent controller. All the buttons function and it is far better than using any third party controllers.

    Use this as my secondary Series X controller. It doesn’t come with all the additional accessories and attachments but its all at a good price especially if you already have a primary Elite controller
