    Fantastic controller except for how quickly it developed stick drift. Love the weight, and extra buttons, but the stick drift is going to be the death of me!!!

    Love this controller! It fits really well in your hands and the weight of it compared to the OG Series x/s controller is a nice change as well.

    If you want a better controller than the already good Xbox controller, this is it. Any tech site you search will say the same thing. The biggest pros are 1. Thumbstick and paddles customization 2. Battery back up 3. Wireless charging 4. In built battery 5. Save 3 profiles The cons are 1. The price. This is too overpriced. Like, too much. I bought this in sale and still think it's pricey. Sucks. I don't have bottomless wallets. Maybe I am just whining. 2. Despite having apparently excellent build quality, durability still seems to be an issue as reported by various outlets. Please don't take my word for it. Do your research. 3. Wireless connection stutters when battery drops below 30%. This is jarring and makes me switch controllers while I charge this.

    Really enjoying this controller. I love how you can change light color on the center button light and the paddle buttons. Makes playing fps games easier to play. Plus I like the trigger sensitivity control levers so I can just barely press aim and trigger buttons to shoot faster. The battery life is awesome, barely have to charge it.

    3rd elite controller. This is my 2nd core. After about 18 mos, all xbox controllers experience stick drift if used regularly. This one is no different. The adjustments these allow help diminish the effect over time. Love them and won't use anything else.

    It is an excellent control for Xbox or PC but it is very expensive. Recommend adding insurance or some type of protection plan. It's better than the old model. It's easy and friendly on the hands, especially when playing for a long period of time.

    The controller is wanted by many, and justifiably so, but many are priced out. The controller is great to hold, great feed back and very customizable. I get 5 hours so far without charging (I play shooters), and leave it on while consuming media content.

    I prefer the heavier weight and rubberized grip over the plasticy feel of the regular Xbox controller. You can program 3 controller profiles and cycle through them with the center button.

    Controller feels very well put together. The grip is very nice and includes a wide range of customization straight out of the box. I really enjoy the heavier duty sticks and trigger stops that can be swapped on the fly. Really great controller.

    I’ve been using the elite 1 controller since release and must say the elite 2 has some improvements that caught my eyes, the joystick can finally be adjusted and they no longer bouncing back and forth like the elite 1.
