    The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

    If you like tight sticks this controller is amazing it comes with tensioners but it still uses potentiometers so it is lacking in stick technology but they do feel great out of the box sometimes the Bluetooth can be a bit lacking and the bumper quality is a little lackluster but overall a great feeling controller especially if you like a heavy one.

    My favorite controller yet. Im not a fan of the triggers so this one is perfect for me. Bought red so i can tell the difference between mine and my roommates. With total i can switch out when ever stick drift happens. Win win!!

    Very nice controller and definitely worth a premium price, but I would wait and try to scoop it up on a sale because $200 is a little steep for an Xbox remote that isn’t a custome built one.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one just quit working. Hit the xbox button and nothing..I had it about 7ish months. I always buy from Bestbuy and it cost me 40 to get this second one. When you buy their insurance and replace an item, you pay for the insurance on the product. Needless to say this one gas been going good for a little over a month. I love having the paddles on the back. I set them up so I don't have to push buttons. Also really like having the ability to make the right and left triggers have a shorter squeeze. Some games I like a longer squeeze and others short. Overall I would definitely give the controller a 5 star, however the first one has me gun shy. 4 star is it this go round. Definitely recommend, and recommend Bestbuy insurance.

    This thing just fells premium compared to other controllers. I have been using this for a while and when I picked up a normal controller, recently, I couldn't help but thinking the normal controller felt cheap.

    A great controller which I purchased for when I was able to get a Series X. Have one now and the controller feels good in your hands. A hefty price tag but worth it and the battery life is definitely a selling point. If you can make sure you insure it

    Overall a good controller. Bumpers and buttons are less responsive than a regular one. Definitely need to be upgraded, especially for the price you pay. Paddles are great, way better than the Scuff controller.

    Play about 4 hours a day. This is the only PRO Controller that has been able to withstand my daily playing style. I have tried 3 different companies and they all break within 6 months to a year.

    I have a rare bone disease in my wrist and it constantly hurts... when I play xbox with the standard controller... OMG. I completely stopped playing xbox because after 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my wrist off. THIS controller is a LIFE saver... having the triggers underneath changed my world. The fact that you can swap certain pieces out is cool too. It is easy to map and connectivity has never been an issue. Before my wrist issues, I played with a standard controller and I actually play BETTER with this one... perhaps a coincidence but I LOVE this controller. I have been using the 1st generation and will continue to until it craps out... this one is a back up that I played with for a few weeks to make sure it worked.
