    Excellent Upgrade From Series 1

    I upgraded my Elite Series 1 and have no regrets so far. The controller feels very good and high quality. The 3 levels for the trigger buttons is a must have for any first person shooter gamers. Only concern is how the handle grips will hold up since the Series 1 had serious issues with them peeling. A bit pricey but if you're a serious gamer or game a lot this controller is worth it.

    I can’t stress this enough: buy the protection plan. I’ve read numerous reviews on some models having design flaws, stick float, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this controller, but I would hate to spend $180 on one and not have it work after the 90-day Microsoft warranty runs out. My first didn’t charge on the base, current one seems flawless.

    This controller has withstood my wrath thus far, only downside is if your motherboard is a certain age the USB Bluetooth adapter for Xbox controllers becomes necessary. Otherwise, if you're playing wired then you're good to go

    Great upgrade to the basic controller, all the parts are easy to change and swap out. Puls the case can store the extra parts and charges the controller, no more having to plug it in just place it in and its spot and it starts to charge

    Very expensive controller but huge improvement over the base controller. I love mapping buttons to the bottom but really only keep one paddle on the controller to keep it daily useable. Stick feel is great charges easily and with the charger built into the case it’s easy to put it up at night and have a fully charged controller when I’m ready to use it.

    It's a great design, but for the price it should've lasted way longer. With simple use, nothing out of the ordinary, it lasted for about a year. The rubber sides started peeling away and it also began having stick drift. I wouldn't recommend spending this much on a controller that won't give you much in return.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
