    This is my fourth Microsoft Elite controller I have owned. All have been purchased from Best Buy. I always purchase the extended warranty because they always seem to develop hardware issues. The controller itself has an excellent feel and performs well. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have a fully functional life of about one year before needing replacement. Its very disappointing for a high quality item like this to have continuing issues!

    It’s nice to have different color controllers. Other than that, it works exactly like the other elite series 2 controllers. No problems with the buttons sticking or falling off.

    The controller is awesome if it doesn’t have some kind of fault. I had to return the first one because some buttons were funky, but the second one is perfect! (I highly recommend getting the warranty)

    It's an Elite Controller, but is the core

    Better build quality than the standard controller; heavier with more quality materials. Easy to sync with your Xbox or connect to a PC. Note that it's the Core controller so you need to already have/buy separately the accessories for the back buttons (I didn't realize that but had them on hand from a broken controller before).

    I like how the controller felt in my hands when i first used it. Very premium feel. Should bought one of these a long time ago lol. I like how i am able to make adjustments to my controller ans have it set with profiles. Tif you sre looming for a great controller for your Series X you should give this one a try. Just my opinion

    I've bought probably 6 of these things over the years. Some came immediately with stick drift that no amount of deadzone tweaking could fix or adjustment of the tension. If I didnt have the best buy total member subscription, i would have bought a scuff. Yet spending $50 every year or so to replace it has been working.
