    It’s a great controller, haven’t had the first one before, and I love how it feels when you play any game. I will say the price is a little more the other should be but Microsoft gotta make money from it. I say get it if you can but you should stick with the standard XBox controllers instead of the elite.

    Owned two now i love the premium feel but at the same time its made cheap my first one got stick drift (when will these multi billion dollar companies start using hall effect) within 3 months and my right bumper stopped working and had cracks all over i think from gripping it to hard as for the one i got from bestbuy its still holding up 7 months later maybe i got unlucky with my first even if they are made cheaply they still have nice features the battery life is very good and the paddles are aswell (i bought some off amazon for cheap) you can re map buttons etc i personally can not go back to a basic controller they feel extra cheap in comparison i recommend the elite core but only on a sale with a warranty

    This is by far the best controller I have ever used, Battery lasts over a week without charging depending on vibration settings in games, the grips are fantastic, the paddles are great and you don't have to use them all, or at all. The build quality is 10/10 legit best controller Ever, would recommend over scuf, especially with warranty

    I'm not a "Hardcore" gamer yet I do enjoy some button smashing. This controller is a great addition to my Series X gaming console and I greatly appreciate the sturdy build quality especially the rechargeable battery inside as well as the tighter joy stick feel. Only con I say is the price... they can sale these for at least $100.00 and below but that's my opinion.

    In my opinion you are limiting yourself in gaming without using an elite controller it eases the feel of the game and gives you a larger capability compared to the the standard controller. The controller has a great feel and best of all no more batter pack you can charge it in the dope case it comes in or with just the regular usb chord.

    I was tired of buying controllers that didn't last more than a year or so. The battery life lasts much longer than expected and I love how customizable this controller is.

    From fit to finish this controller is something any avid gamer should lay there hands on. The ability to customize and Taylor the device to fit your hand and game play style is incredible. The paddles took my game to the next level and overall I’m really enjoying it. My only complaint is the price but admit it has been worth every penny.
