    Takes some getting used to, but overall happy w the purchase. Works better than the other x box controllers which I would hope for the price.

    controllers a necessity for gaming. Its just too expensive, and its guaranteed to break, so get yourself that replacement plan. Im on my 3rd elite 2, as the RB/LB keeps breaking, or the little adhesive pads inside behind the triggers gets stuck and the triggers start sticking. This should be prices at $99.99

    This is what true greatness feels like. It’s even hard to go back to the series x normal controller after explaining this.

    The build quality of this controller is solid, there are a few quality of life improvements added such as rechargeable battery, better grips and a button to adjust the profile that's in use (instead of a switch). If you're looking for a nice Xbox/PC controller this is a solid buy, if you have a Series 1 controller I wouldn't recommend the upgrade unless you get this on sale.

    Great product, no slouch just pricey, the 99 dollar sale price is definitely worth it, no controller is worth more than 100, sorry ps dual sense but i say the same about your controller and would rate it even less due to the price

    Best Xbox Controller

    Love everything about it -- except the new rubber padding that was extended over the handles. My old Elite controller they gripped really well; the new material feels waxy and slippery. Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. Comes with rechargeable battery and recharges by putting back in the case. Adjustable joystick tension, better paddle controls, and a host of other improvements make this the best conrtoller out there. If only it felt "grippier'....

    I loved and still love the first Xbox Elite Controller; however, this controller filled my need for wireless as well as more adjustability. The only reason this controller is not getting the 5th star, because the extra back buttons are much smaller than the original. Making it sort of awkward to use all 4, but this could change after a while of usage.

    Great controller with the feel and adjustables. But the down button on the dpad is bad. Clicks just fine without the covering but when placed back on it gets stuck on the way down. Good thing most my games don’t use the dpad too heavy

    It is nice that you can adjust the trigger buttons so that you don’t have to pull all the way. The D-pad cover actually makes the D-pad easy to use. And it has an internal battery. Is it worth the extra money??? I just wish the standard controller had this D-pad and battery.
