    The controller is really stable. It feels good, very heavy. The charge lasts a very long time. It’s definitely for pros.

    I have the Series 1 and this is def an improvement, it feels heavier to me. Also the wireless/plugless charging makes it so much better than the series one. It also feels tighter to me, could be a placebo. Using it on my XBox Series XX with no issues. Best to get this when it goes on sale as the price is steep. Should be included as an upgraded option when you purchase the new X Box Series X. This is really for those who need it not your average gamer to be quite honest.

    Left Bumper broke and theres is moderate stick drift on both sticks after 4 months of use.. outside of warranty date. Controller feels very high quality, looks and feels great but just doesn’t seem to function so. I’ve never had this many issues with my past $60 Xbox controllers. Disappointed their premium version is a downgrade in reliability.

    Seriously love it. Thought it wouldn’t be that much better but the red really pops in this bad boy. I think it feels better than my all black series 2 I got when they came out.

    This controller is amazing. Like most xbox controllers it will eventually have stick roaming but if you catch it onsale buying it once a year and a half or so it isnt bad if you are a daily user like me.

    Best Controller Ever

    BEST CONTROLLER AVAILABLE! The lack of hall-effect joysticks is disappointing, but Gulikit holds the patent on using them in controllers. Near infinite customization, better bluetooth connection with Windows PCs, and good battery life. It got me to use my PC more, instead of relying on my Steam Deck or ROG Ally.

    By far the best Xbox Controller I've ever had. I fortunately got it on sale at a great price. The controller itself is the perfect shade of red really put together quite nicely. The packaging itself was very neat and clean. Though most importantly the functionality of said controller is more than ideal for any game. The layout of the controller with extra buttons and quicker response time is ideal for any game. Overall i highly recommend everyone to upgrade to this controller.

    I replaced my worn out elite series, with the new version. My old unit had played hard! This new series 2 has great new improvements, also the new unit is not a duplicate. You can not swap parts from the old to the new. I have my original fitted with round top sticks on it, the new unit only allows one of these, on one side or the other. You can not use the old sticks or any other remove able controls. So yes I love it for being well made, but just not compatible with the older elite.

    Great Controller very comfortable. Only complaint i have is the rumble motors make a slight noise. Same thing with a series 2 core Controller i got. But after using it a while bout 20 hours ish the noise seemed to go away.

    Non-gamer here. It was hard to understand why we needed to upgrade to the elite controller until I held each and felt the difference. I've watched enough game play to see how intense the play can be, so now I can also understand why having some of the features would help. So instead of having to buy a new basic controller every 3-4 months because of the wear and tear, we'll invest in this and see it last a lot longer

    Good controllers as I don’t have the need of the more expensive controllers. Only thing I notice is the buttons and joysticks can stop working after a year or more

    Perfect controller. This is my second elite controller. I still have the first, I just wanted a spare. Feels solid. The only difference is that this does not come with the carrying case or the back paddles. I got back paddles elsewhere for $15.
