    Personally, I think this is way better than the first elite controller. Feels so much more quicker, smoother and more grippy for intense moments for FPS games.

    Amazing controller. On a pricy side but it is well worth the price for the quality materials you will get and customization.

    So far so good. The old elite 2s bumpers and paddles would go out on me playing fortnite competitively so hopefully these ones are more durable.

    For the price it's the quality you expect. I've had the elite series 2 controller for years and wanted a second one for my other Xbox. It was an easy choice to grab this one without the need for the complete bundle. My only complaint is that i feel it should include at least one pair of tabs for the back to give you a bit more customization. Understandably it is the "core" version, but if I'm buying the controller for this much, which has the same functionality of a standard controller out of box, i do feel it should include just those two extra items.

    I have the original Elite controller and I LOVE it but I gave it to my wife when she started playing Xbox more. I got this one and somehow love it even more! - The paddles are a little smaller, which helps if you have big meat hooks for hands like I do. - There's no more nasty green under the swappable parts so you get a really blacked out look - The swappable profiles are AMAZING if you play different styles of games. I currently have Assassin's Creed, first person and Skyrim profiles. - The hair triggers are now variable and help a lot with those split second reactions - It comes with a charging dock and you can even charge it while it's in the carrying case thanks to a small passthrough grommet. - The wrap around grips are MUCH nicer than the gen 1 elite controller. No more hand sweat buildup! I can't say enough nice things about this controller and it's worth every penny if you're a big gamer!
