    All the pros of an elite controller for a lower price. A great replacement if your bumpers stopped working on an elite 2 controller

    Absolutely love this controller, I didn’t t think there would be much difference, or enough difference between this and the regular controllers to warrant buying the better one but wow!!! It’s soooooo much better than the regular ones. The respon time is so much faster, and smoother controls. Love it

    The Elite Series 2 controllers are *THE BEST* Xbox controllers on the market. Yes a bit pricey but it literally feels like you're bringing a gun to a knife fight. The way it feels & the way it holds up, along with the built in battery makes it the best of the best!

    My son is huge into video games. I almost fell over when he told me how much it was but he also explained why it was so expensive. I was sold. I was tired of purchasing controllers. Since I bought this a year ago I haven't had to replace it.

    This newest version of the Elite is great! It's much better than my other Elite. I've had zero connection/audio issues so far. I love the shorter trigger lock adjustment. The paddles are shorter too so I won't have to take a grinder to them like the first version.

    Excellent per usual. This is my third one and I really enjoy it for PC play and my xbox. I do wish they would come out with an elite version with mechanical triggers.
