    My favorite controller yet. Im not a fan of the triggers so this one is perfect for me. Bought red so i can tell the difference between mine and my roommates. With total i can switch out when ever stick drift happens. Win win!!

    It is an excellent control for Xbox or PC but it is very expensive. Recommend adding insurance or some type of protection plan. It's better than the old model. It's easy and friendly on the hands, especially when playing for a long period of time.

    Controller feels very well put together. The grip is very nice and includes a wide range of customization straight out of the box. I really enjoy the heavier duty sticks and trigger stops that can be swapped on the fly. Really great controller.

    I bought this controller for my pc set up for the games that recommend a controller over MnK. I'm not a heavy user but the controller feels great in hand and works for my purpose. Good built quality as you can expect from Microsoft. Very durable.

    Should be the Standard Controller

    The controller is wanted by many, and justifiably so, but many are priced out. The controller is great to hold, great feed back and very customizable. I get 5 hours so far without charging (I play shooters), and leave it on while consuming media content.

    good controller with nice weight to it but unfortunately microsoft makes it using cheap lego material. ive had to return this thing like 5 times and now the warranty has expired and i dont want to buy another. bumpers go out first and fast and grips peel bad after a while. getting beat down in games because left and right bumpers dont work.

    I love this controller! Yes it is expensive. But it is heavy and sturdy. Almost everything can be replaced (like the thumb sticks). Battery life is amazing too. I can play Cyberpunk all day and it doesn’t lose power. I love this bad boy and gave it a nickname. Lol. JK.

    Best solid controller. Very well made and it’s really good product. The paddles are not plastic but solid some sort of metal. The controller is little heavier side but feels good to hold. It feels you paid for a good product and not just plastic.

    This is the best controller I've used I still think the xbox 360 has a better feel though cause I can put both index and middle finger on both hands on the bumper and trigger comfortably not worth the elite 2 I use both on my right hand and only my index on the left besides that the adjustable sticks is amazing I bought it new and I'm not experiencing any issues with it like stick drift so that might be the used but I think you can remove stick drift on the Microsoft accessories app I use it for mobile gamelan latency is low so it's real responsive bumper paddles work great as well.

    Controller has a very premium feeling. I had the last variation of the Elite controller and it served me well for a couple of years. Eventually I started to get some stick drift and the rubberized grips started to come off. This controller is nicer than it's predecessor and I've seen no such problems yet.

    Controller is very nice and well made. You can program it to do whatever you want. It’s solid and a nice weight. My favorite feature is that it charges when you put it back in the case, no plugging it in. I use this controller exclusively now.
