    After using this controller for only a short time, I have only good things to say about it. Although a bit on the high side of price for a controller. The build quality, performance, and all around appearance is outstanding and well worth the money. I would definitely recommend this for any Xbox users and PC users who play on controller, a HUGE improvement over any other controller on the market.

    I already owned a series one that ended up getting stick drift. Purchased this one to replace. So far so good.

    The elite controller is one of the nicest controllers made but with a bunch of annoying flaws. This version 2 has a ton of things improved on it that are much needed. The internal battery is honestly a downgrade for longevity for when it goes bad you'll have to tear it down to replace it. I'd prefer the AA's all day for longevity. otherwise amazing controller.

    Its a good controller. The features are great, being able to key bind is amazing, trigger locks are top tier. But I've gone through 4 of these so far. THEY DO NOT LAST. I do recommend this controller but get the replacement plan you WILL need it. First one was dropped from my desk to a carpeted floor. Right bumper stopped working. Next one the right bumper just stopped working for no reason other than use. Third one right bumper stopped working half the time and if i press on both thumb sticks the controller shuts off. Ordering my 4th one right now as I type this. I love the idea of this controller but for $179 you would think they would last longer than a year.

    Have had gaming consoles for 15+ years and never felt the need to get upgraded controllers. Picked this up on Black Friday and couldn’t be happier. The tension adjustment on the analog sticks is alone worth the price. Get the core model its a better deal.

    I got this Remote Controller for my Xbox. However, after getting my gaming PC recently, I found that it works well with it. I especially like the back paddles and the fact that you can customize them to whatever button you want. The controller feels solid and comfortable on my hands. I do not think I will be going back to any other controller after using the Elite 2
