    I bought this controller when I was in need of one, it was worth the purchase. The controller feels nice in the hands and the buttons are great. I can customize my controller and it’s settings and layout which is so useful.

    The Elite Series 2 wireless controller is one of the best controllers in my opinion I love using the paddles on the back and my favorite part about this controller is the hair trigger lock

    I love this controller. I typically play anywhere between 2 and 8+ hour’s a day and have been playing on multiple devices for over 20+ years. I can honestly say this is one of the best I’ve used…

    Amazing controller that was recently updated to fix a lot of the major issues such as the notorious stick drift. Since COVID I've put in a professional level of gaming hours daily and have no received stick drift at all. In the event that I do receive stick drift, I also purchased the Geek Squad warranty plan for the additional peace of mind.

    I don't know about the bottom flippers as I haven't used them. I really like it as the weight is good make you feel as though it is a substantial controller rather than the flimsy aftermarket controllers that are sold. I bought it because the xbox that I bought only had a flimsy aftermarket controller (wired at that)

    I’ve had three of these now and each one has had the RB button fail. I love the weight and feel of the controller but I can’t say it’s worth the price with this major flaw.

    I've been enjoying playing games especially on my Nintendo switch nice solid controller my only problem is mine creeks when I push the controllers down but it still works well. I'd go return it but Corona season keeping me indoors. I love how there's a 3 year warranty option unlike game stop that only offers a year

    These are decent controllers, but not worth the money at all. I’ve owned 2 now and both have issues. Buttons getting stuck and even stick drift. I take extremely good care of these and can’t believe they have these issues. I thought maybe I got unlucky on the first one I bought so after a year I bought another one. The new one now has issues and I don’t use either of my elite controllers and wouldn’t buy again.

    It is a great controller while it works. I bought one and the A button would not work so I traded it in. The 2nd one I got worked great for a while but then the right bumper started to not work

    i really enjoy this controller because of the extra buttons and the ability to change out parts. but what i dont like or understand is why they would sell this without the dongle to be able to use it bluetooth on your pc? so if you purchase this for your pc make sure you purchase the xbox dongle as well or you have to use it plugged in and not wireless.
