    Love this controller. Best xbox controller I have ever felt and can't get over how much I enjoy the paddles. Definitely an upgrade from the Series 1 Elite Controller.

    So far so good. I've been using it for a month now and no issues. Hopefully this holds up. 1 year warranty. But again so far so good. I purchased this knowing i didn't feel the need for the extras , like the paddles. But maybe 1 day I'll change my mind. A full Charge on this controller last for a long while. About 30 to 40 hours on a single charge. Love the white and black color scheme. I never used the black elite 2 version. So i can't compare the two. But Overall I'm happy with this controller.

    Replaced multiple of these controllers that all exhibited some level of stick drift brand new from the factory. Microsoft elite controllers are known to have looser manufacturing tolerances versus their standard controllers. You can find many examples online of people saying their controller exhibited the same behavior. If the stick drift doesn’t bother you, it is otherwise a great controller.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC. I had a scuf controller and it is literally a $300 paperweight.I wish I would have gotten this sooner. There are so many things you can do with this. I love it. I highly recommend you get the extended warranty though throw geek squad because I have read some reviews from some full-time high end streamers who have had issues. However, I am very please. I've streamed over maybe 50 hours and the battery is STILL full. I'm blown away. Stay away from Scuf...this is your controller. I promise.

    Got it for half price as open box, it had a problem on the right trigger not getting all the clicks, a 2 min YouTube video and WD40 made the fix, it's working perfectly since the, great deal, fantastic quality. My favorite part is the extra 4 buttons on the back that I can configure the way I want, the triggers travel is also great, it does worth the extra price

    I love the controller for it's functionality. I just feel like for the price point, you shouldn't experience any problems with it. But that could be on me from dropping it a few times, whoops. Luckily I got the extended warranty which I highly recommend getting too.

    Love the weight and overall feel of how hefty it is, pressing buttons feel like you are actually pressing buttons. But, after a while the same clicking starting to feel like they needed more pressure ESPECIALLY the right bumper, both bumpers and B button going out rather quickly for it’s expensive price tag.
