Quality build with great battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can feel the quality of the materials used right away when holding this controller in your hands. Premium materials and the weight of the controller makes this the best one I have ever used. The battery life is great and you can plug it in and charge it while playing.

Best Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had three over the past 6 years. By far the best overall high end controller. The xbox controller frame and buttom layout in my opinion is the most ideal and ergonimic. Have only had one have button/drift issues and was replaced with GSP.

You NEED this if you are a gamer playing Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this thing. I never thought I would spend money like this on a a controller, but I had some xmas money to burn so I did it. This feels very sturdy and well-made. The added, removable, and programmable buttons on the trigger side have been great for games that have a lot of button pushing. This controller is customizable with magnetic thumb knobs on each side plus the directional pad. No regrets on this purchase.

After a little more than a year,
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a little more than a year, I am still loving my Elite II's, and this is my 3rd purchase that I just bought! Over a year a ago, i bought my first Elite series II Black with the carrying case, charger, and additional thumbsticks. I thought it might be too heavy for continuous gameplay cuz its got some heft compared to my old Xbox 360 controller which is my favorite to use on pc games over my ps3 controller. But after using it for awhile, you do definitely get used to it. In fact, when i tried to use my old controller i now found the 360 controller too light! So 6 months ago, i bought a second one to replace the 360 controller that i had for coop since my friends wanted to use my Elite II. Then recently i bought a Gaming Laptop that of course needed it's own! I needed only the core since i already had 2, so the core purchase worked out well. Plus they are interchangeable with there parts and colors! Would definitely recommend!!

The last controller you need.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The high price tag is worth it and the paddles are a game changer. It feels like a premium controller. I use this controller for steam and pc games. it works great and you charge it with the carrying case.

Good Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good controller. I only give it 3 stars because the A button doesn't work correctly. I can take 2-3 times of pressing it in order for it to work. It was that way straight out of the box. The controller is still overpriced. However, this controller is far superior to the basic Xbox controllers.

Definitely a step up from series 1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great improvement from the original elite controller. The grip is extended from just the backing to the front, back, and triggers. The multi-stage trigger locks were surprisingly more helpful. The controller also has more software settings and setting “slots”. Two biggest improvements to me are the new paddles which are a bit smaller making it less cumbersome to use all four and of course the integrated rechargeable battery pack takes the cake. Definitely a top shelf controller!

Perfect Upgrade for Serious Gamers!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing Controller – Great Feel and Performance! The Elite Series 2 Core (White) is absolutely worth it! The build quality feels premium, the buttons and thumbsticks are super responsive, and the adjustable tension is a game-changer for shooters and racing games. The wireless connection is solid, battery life is strong, and the clean white design looks fantastic. If you're looking to upgrade your Xbox or PC gaming experience, I highly recommend this controller!

Xbox elite controller
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the xbox elite controller and the way you can customize the controls and tailor it to the game your friends playing. Aldo bought an accessory pack on amazon so i can custom the d pad, triggers and joystick. Only complaint is the price it is pretty pricey.

Best, worst controller's.. Love - Hate
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is literally the best line of controllers.. The weight, the feel, the functionality.. AMAZING!! I love the elite series on what they should deliver. 2 Star rating is because i have 3 Elite series 1 controllers that all have common issues. (Drift, bumper, peeling grip) I had read a lot of these things were addresses with the Series 2.. Nope.. Still a hot steamy pile of crap.. Purchased in October and this has the worst case of drift I've ever had.. The right bumper is super sensitive, one push and it thinks it's two. The grip hasnt peeled so i guess theres a pro.. Also have the Geek Squad Protection but they have been out of stock now for like 5 months so im stuck using this or one of my normal controllers..

Great Buy

This controller will also maintain a charge for significantly longer than other controller's.

Great controller

Worth every penny

Never drops connection through bluetooth. Excellent battery life that can last 3 days straight. Paddles will need to be bought separately, however.
