    Best controller out there!

    Best controller out there. Great weight, and good quality feel. Only complaint, that some will consider a positive, is the built in rechargeable battery. I prefer Eneloop standard batteries rather than non-user replaceable battery that certainly will degrade. The prices on this has fallen so it is much more reasonable price than the original MSRP.

    Great controller, but very prone to stick drift as well as rb or r3 going bad in my experience. Get the warranty.

    Very good controller! love the customization for the controller especially the triggers and tension for the thumbsticks. Really helps with FPS games. Also like the fact I can have multiple profiles for the controller so the paddles can be for different buttons on each profile or off. Overall happy with this and the case is also a bonus, Must have for Xbox and pc users.

    I was hesitant to purchase this controller based off the reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m not sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    Love the feel of this over the basic controller. The level of customization is amazing and can be applied to any play style. The latest update did cause some issues playing on an Ipad but it works well enough.

    The controller has felt great and worked flawlessly on PC and Xbox. only thing i recommend is to switch out the back paddles from scuf as they feel wider and give the paddles a better feel. (they are compatible BTW)

    I've owned it for a little bit now and I haven't had any issues with it, I use this controller a lot on my PC and my Xbox and it's great having a rechargeable controller that I know won't run out of battery.

    I had the original Elite Series 2 controller so I didn’t need the extra accessories for this controller. The white on black color scheme looks so dope. The cheaper price is also a plus if you don’t mind not having the paddles and thin sticks! Great controller!

    The controller is working excellent and the paddles are a welcomed addition. The in-case charging is nice so I can keep it safe. Only issue is that if you drop the controller any of the changeable parts will potentially fly off into wonderland!

    Overall great high end controller, just be sure to be up to date on the warranty so you can send it in to have the wear and tear fixed. Stick starts to drift after a couple months of heave use which is expected, paddles start to stick, just make sure you send it before the warranty ends.

    I love this controller feels amazing very customizable however it does have some down sides doesn’t last long used it for 11 months before stick drift started. Widely known issue Microsoft was fixing some but not mine it was out by 2 weeks and won’t cover it. This is a very expensive investment to last 11 months with no abuse and moderate game play.
