    Great controller for the money very easy to use use.The only thing I didn't like was.The analog sticks and the directional pad have pieces that don't snap real tight and they fall off easily but if you pay attention to that it's a great controller

    These are the only controllers I will buy yes sometimes they have problems but I won't buy anything else they're sturdy they're made with the best components and if you have an issue with it you send it off and they fix it for free or you get a brand new. I really think these are the best controllers on any platform.

    This is a really nice controller. Smoother and more precise than my old xbox one controllers. Apparently the "Core" version doesn’t come with any parts for some of the extra levers, so I had to drop $20 online for some aftermarket levers for the back of the controller.

    If you're looking for an obvious gaming edge this controller is what you're looking for. Back paddles should be considered illegal NEVER remove your fingers from the analogs. Controller itself is slick looking buttons are so easy to switch, comes with multiple replacement analogs different heights/styles (concave or bubbled). Yes controller is a bit expensive but if you're into competitive gaming or just into expensive fancy looking things then buy this right now and don't look back..

    Got this to upgrade from my original Xbox One S controller. It has a very solid feel and switching between the joystick lengths is incredibly simple. The back bumpers are great for FPS games and button mapping is simple.

    Although we had to return this (button input was lagging on the PC), it feels very good in hand. We also have an PS5 elite controller and using this one in comparison, it's a little heavier but still has amazing grip and the satisfying buttons. Connecting to PC via cord or Bluetooth was easy.

    Keep it away from kids that don't know how to respect people's things. This is my 3rd Elite Controller. 1 first gen and 2 second gen. My daughters completely broke the first 2. This one goes under lock and key. I love the USB TYPE C for data and charging it cuts down on the amount of stuff I have on my desk. Virtually no input lag wireless. Works better in COD wired in my opinion. Great weight to it. It feels solid and premium. Just enough weight to make you feel engaged in the action but not too much to fatigue the forearms.

    I got this controller for use specifically with my PC, but as it has differential profiles available (three to exact) I was also able to pair it with my Xbox. Great controller and I’m so impressed with the quality.I felt as though it was very well constructed. This makes two elite 2 controllers I have…too bad it won’t pair to my PS5

    Customization is cool and all. BUT The battery life alone is enough of a reason to buy this controller. Feels nice and well built, so far so good for the first year. The paddles on the rear of the controller are actually a blessing and a curse, some games you love using them and other games, well good thing they are removeable! Only reason for 4 out of 5 for 'value'; its expensive but worth it if you're a gaming enthusiast.

    They are good they are reliable they tend to not last as long as the old school ones but no one makes things to last 15 years anymore. I would say they are still the best option out there.
