    The devices charge speed over USB-C is very fast with a good power source. An edge up in game being able to utilize your extra fingers on the back of the controller. The magnetic quickly swappable joysticks, D-Pad and, Paddles are truly easy enough to do between games loading. A perfect controller for someone who travels between multiple Xbox’s too keep their muscle memory and settings consistent with on-controller profile select.

    Every one of these controllers will have a little bit of stick dead zone. I returned one for another and still had dead movement in the sticks, I’m a stickler for stuff like that, and I guess it’s just a design flaw. HOWEVER it surprisingly doesn’t affect my gameplay in any way and I play DayZ and call of Duty a lot. Serves its purpose with the double button assignment feature and better paddles (I use lower half gen 1 elite paddles & upper half gen 2 & it’s perfect)

    Its pretty decent controller. I only got it because it had a rechargeable battery and I had a discount/giftcard for it. I don't see the price tag for what it is, but it's not horrible. I would probably buy it again just for the way it handles though. I like the grips all around. Still need more time to toy around with it.

    I had the first Elite controller and it had a lot of quality issues. The rubber grips would peel up after a few months and on one the sticks became very loose to the point where if you turned the control upside down they would move out a quarter of an inch. Luckily I had Geek Squad protection so when these issues came up I was able to get a replacement. So far with the Series 2 I have had none of these issues. I have put several hundred outs on this controller and it is still as solid as the day I bought it. The built in battery is nice too and lasts a very long time between charges.

    Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

    Great price for an Elite Series Controller

    I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.

    This is my second elite controller. I've had it for a little over a year and the buttons are already going to crap. It gets a three because when it works it's great. However, I wouldn't recommend this controller to anyone.
