    It takes a little getting used to the new bumpers but the feel of the controller is very premium. I have really enjoyed this controller.

    It a good controller but honestly we felt the standard XBOX controller was more comfortable. The elite has added trigger option on the bottom so it may be better for someone who play games which need extra triggers. We ended up using 2 or 3 times and sold it.

    I've been using this controller for almost a year now and I love it. I think this is the best controller you can buy right now. You can remap the buttons, adjust the sensitivity of each joystick, make 3 presets of customization for different games. The joysticks themselves can be swapped out for different shaped ones that come with it. I have gotten so used to the the paddles on the back that I can't go back to a normal controller.

    Controller is solid and overall the best xbox controller out right now. I only use two back buttons. If you’re looking for 4 back buttons, I’d suggest the Scuf Instinct Pro. Would also suggest getting the 2 year warranty from Best Buy because controllers are prone to having sticky buttons and stick drift over time.

    I upgraded from the Elite controller version 1... I love the textured grip where your palms rest, as well as the additional accessories you get vs the Series 1. For example. there's now a 360 style pop on joystick that's noticeably bigger/rounder than Xbox One's and I LOVE IT! I've missed the bigger/larger sticks so getting this back is welcomed. I just wish they'd make the 360 larger sticks with the textured grip on the rim of it like the Xbox One's sticks so I could have the best of both world's lol. No complaints though!

    Wouldnt buy one of these again. Didnt like the position of the rear paddles and how far they stuck out. The controller also got stick drift super fast, still in the return window. I was lazy and dumb and didnt return it. I ended up sticking with it in hopes I would get used to it. I ended up giving up on it and buying a Scuf controller. Scuf controller rear button placement is so much better in my opinion. I could not get used to playing with the 4 huge paddles on the back of this controller.
