Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel.

    I like this product because it helps me with my arthritis i wished they had more colors than just the black And the white and the blue, the nice that they had purple on it or pink on something like that.

    This feels so good to play games FPS games with and with adjustable triggers and button mapping, every adjustable piece to this makes gaming that much more involved with how you enjoy it. Long battery life and a ton of features made this such an enjoyable controller to own.

    If you’ve had issues with the left thumb-stick breaking repeatedly, this controller is for you. I think they use better parts for the Elite controller because it has held up a lot better than the standard Xb1 controller. I love the texture added to the palm area. The only downside about this item is the price but I guess you get what you pay for.

    This is my weapon, there are many like it but this one is mine! I literally can’t play any game without this controller. Buy this and you’ll never play with another controller... ever. I have had this for almost 1 year and there was some very small stick drift but Microsoft sent me a new one under warranty. Recommended.

    Great controller. Make sure to get the 2 yr warranty with Best Buy though they’re notorious for wearing out but Best Buy’s policy is great cause you can renew your warranty with the replacements. I bought one when they first released and have probably been through 5 of them now because of how good their replacement policy is

    Great controller, love the grips and looks cool. Only complaint is it disconnects randomly. Seemingly when I’m playing zombies and then I die. Microsoft hasn’t issued a patch yet but I’d imagine it’s a software issue as it’s not a range/obstruction issue cuz I’m 5 feet from the dock/Xbox.

    This is my second series 2 elite. So i advise being careful, because the joystick can be prone to drifting. Other than that it feels wonderful in the hands. It gives an extra level of precision and feedback. That once you've gotten used to it there is no going back.

    I got this for my brother and he’s enjoyed using it. Compared to the first model it’s lasted longer (the triggers tend to drift). I also bought one for myself and my bumpers went bad rather quickly but ever since i replaced them they’ve worked fine.

    Solid controller. Like the new adjustments to the joysticks and the 3 adjustments for the triggers. Feels sturdier than the v1. Has connectivity issues. May just be a bug with the new xbox. Overall its a great buy if you are serious about gaming or just like to adjust the controls.

    Solid controller that is heavier and has such a better feel in your hand compared to standard xbox controllers. The customization of the controller gives you endless options to adjust button layouts in whatever way suits your game pmay best.

    Upgraded from a regular xbox comtroller to this and it is amazing! Has weight to it for a solid feel and all the buttons push nicely. The joysticks feel real good with no travel.
