    The XBOX Elite series controller is very useful for gaming on the Xbox and holds up well for long use with its long batter time.

    Core Elite Red is beautiful. Love the red cord as well. Do not use the paddles. Love the app to customize every button. Makes a difference.

    Best controller I’ve ever used. Carrying case is awesome, customization is great, and I couldn’t be happier. I really love the weight of it compared to the regular Series X controller as well.

    Out of the "High end" controllers, this one ranks best for functionality and ease of use. The extra bits for the button re-mapping and trigger stops, along with the joystick tensioner make a difference in game

    Pros -Best feeling controller I have ever had. Fine controller, smooth, and great grip. Hair triggers are super nice. Cons- Left stick drift that started out as a very minor problem, them developed into a huge problem that custom joystick settings with huge deadspace eventually didnt even work.. This progressed over a single week..
