    The paddles are great but the Y button feels a bit unresponsive. Other than that it's feature rich. I also owned a elite 2 before so I had all the accessories.

    Obsessed with this controller! I didn't like the grainy feel of the controller that came with the Xbox Series X, so my friend recommended this. I was hesitant because of the price but Best Buy had a good price on Open Box and I had to go for it. No regrets. This thing feels premium and works great. I'm never going back to the basic Xbox controller.

    If you are looking for a solid controller this is the go to, also if you have an original elite controller and you break it or damage it the paddles thumb button are all cross compatible with this controller I give it a 9/10

    Great controller. Make sure to get the 2 yr warranty with Best Buy though they’re notorious for wearing out but Best Buy’s policy is great cause you can renew your warranty with the replacements. I bought one when they first released and have probably been through 5 of them now because of how good their replacement policy is

    Really does give you an advantage in shooter games. Controller looks and feels premium! Love how the buttons from the original elite controller fit this, so buying just this core was a no brainer to me.

    Awesome controller. Tons of great customization options via the Xbox app. Has a nice weight in the hands and feels comfortable to hold. The paddles work really well and are my favorite part of the controller. Tends to break down quickly like regular xbox controller unfortunately.

    From my grandson - I love the elite series 2 controller! The case it comes with works really well and is very high quality and protective. It's very convenient that I can charge it in the case. The charger is very long to and can be used while playing. The buttons and customizations are very cool too. It adds a different feel to gaming when using the extra buttons and customizations. 10 out of 10 controller!
