    Love this controller! I’m a tad behind when it comes to controllers but I got to say if you can get one of the elites. From top to bottom one of the best controllers out there and I’ve been gaming for 30+ years.

    Great quality! The pieces can come off easily and get lost but mainly only happens during game rage. If you’re not a psychopath with built up anger that you take out while playing Roblox, you’re gonna love this controller!

    Very nice and with the rubber added to it, it is easier to hold and maneuver the joy stick. It is sharp looking with the black and white.

    It does what a controller is supposed to do control a game but wait it has extra buttons! Kidding it does the same thing as a cheapo that comes with your console and if you are sweaty enough to need the ability to adjust your joystick resistance or your trigger engagement/pull distance than this is 100% for you

    This is my second one of these in 3 years. I love this controller so much the paddles make all the difference when playing competitive fps games. Heavy use will wear it out but still works great for a long time.

    Its known that elite series controllers are notorious for having stick drift out the box, and in this case, exactly what happened, apart from having stick drift, right bumper didnt work, and left stick when pressing wouldn't function either, hopefully the next xbox elite 3 controller work whenever they release it that is

    Awesome controller. My original pro controller broke and I didn’t want to buy the full set and this thing came in clutch. Was the same great controller for a better price:)

    The construction is very sturdy. I only use one of the paddles under the controller but it gives you a lot of options for customization. Its a bit pricey for a controller but well worth the money.

    Heavier than the plastic controllers makes for a more comfortable grip. I was originally uncertain on the paddles (20 years of muscle memory with buttons), but actually makes for more enjoyable game play in first-person shooters. Highly recommend even for the “older” gamers.

    So far this controller is pretty solid. I did have the series one version of this and the rubber grips peeled off after a while. The ones on here seem a bit more solid though. I do like how you can adjust tension on joysticks. Happy to not have to change batteries either.

    Controller is awesome. Battery charge lasts for days at a time and that is with hours of game play. I like that you can chage the joysticks, paddles and Tpad easily all magnetized, easy on and off. The case to hold and charge controller is very sturdy and holds everything. Would definitly recommend

    Great controller, a little heavy but that's what you get when you have all the abilities this controller provides and it also has a built in rechargeable battery. Defiantly the best Elite Controller that Xbox has made. Makes other controllers feel cheap.

    I loved it, and will continue to love it. But it did develop stick adrift. Pretty annoying.
