    While I love how clean this looks in the white color, I love the feel of this second generation. I didn’t necessarily need the paddles in the back and I already had a charging solution so I didn’t mind just getting the core version.

    Love the elite series controllers. Heavy in the hand and made with good materials. Wish it had Hall Effects but still a great controller all in all.

    It’s a great controller but the QC could use a lot of work. I got the Geek Squad protection this time to protect myself.

    Amazing controller !!! I have been playing Video games for serval years now and have gone through a lot of controllers. The Xbox elite controller has been by far the best. Longevity and ability to program your controller to fit your gaming style is amazing.

    Feels better than any controller imo, only pro controller I know of without hall effect sticks. It's a must for fps shooting games.

    Once I got used to the elite controller I feel like i cant go back to the regular one. My Elite 2 RB started to go bad after 2 years of 20+ hour gameplay per week. Got this one as it is cheaper and I already had the extra assessories. I did also purchase the Best Buy 2 year warrenty just in case. So far everything works great and I checked all functions in the Xbox Assesories app when it arrived. So far I would recommend this.

    Would highly recommend. The clickiness of the back paddles is very satisfying and the ability to change your controller on the fly is very useful.

    Definitely wish there were more settings for the joystick tensioner but overall it's a great controller. The grips are nice and the feel is very premium.
