    Love the controller. Hate that the charging port stopped working only a little over a month after purchase. Microsoft is going to fix the issue, though, so 4 stars it is.

    Great quality! The pieces can come off easily and get lost but mainly only happens during game rage. If you’re not a psychopath with built up anger that you take out while playing Roblox, you’re gonna love this controller!

    Controller is awesome. Battery charge lasts for days at a time and that is with hours of game play. I like that you can chage the joysticks, paddles and Tpad easily all magnetized, easy on and off. The case to hold and charge controller is very sturdy and holds everything. Would definitly recommend

    Heavier than the plastic controllers makes for a more comfortable grip. I was originally uncertain on the paddles (20 years of muscle memory with buttons), but actually makes for more enjoyable game play in first-person shooters. Highly recommend even for the “older” gamers.

    This is my second one of these in 3 years. I love this controller so much the paddles make all the difference when playing competitive fps games. Heavy use will wear it out but still works great for a long time.

    So far this controller is pretty solid. I did have the series one version of this and the rubber grips peeled off after a while. The ones on here seem a bit more solid though. I do like how you can adjust tension on joysticks. Happy to not have to change batteries either.

    Great controller, a little heavy but that's what you get when you have all the abilities this controller provides and it also has a built in rechargeable battery. Defiantly the best Elite Controller that Xbox has made. Makes other controllers feel cheap.

    Very nice and with the rubber added to it, it is easier to hold and maneuver the joy stick. It is sharp looking with the black and white.

    The construction is very sturdy. I only use one of the paddles under the controller but it gives you a lot of options for customization. Its a bit pricey for a controller but well worth the money.
