    The customizability you have with this controller is INSANE. The application on the xbox allows for customization of anything from response curves, to completely changing button mapping. Love this controller, although, I haven't gotten better at any games.

    While every controller eventually wears out the thumbsticks, this is by far the best controller ive ever used considering ive been playing on xbox since 2001 and ive even competed before where i would wear out thumbsticks every 3 months. This controller is for sure the best feeling controller and the thumbsticks lasted over a year on the first one i had. Not to mention all the features of thumbstick tension control, button customization, and trigger travel. I cant say enough good things about this controller. I only hope they continue to improve the durability of the thumbsticks even further.

    My husband plays video games a lot so the remote gets used and abused. The remote usually last him about 8 months until it starts to have issues. So GET the warranty. For some reason he loves this remote and will only buy this remote. I don’t play video games so I’m not sure how durable remotes are suppose to be, but he’s gone through a few of them. The warranty isn’t cheap but it’s cheaper than having to buy a new remote every so often.

    The Elite series 1 was great... and then this one came out and is so much better. I'll never go back to a regular xbox controller. Even the Xbox light is customizable to any color. The charging dock is awesome too!

    I really like the inner rechargeable battery that's now inside, I am just hoping it last long. Or at least if it should stop working it doesn't during my 2 year Geek Squad protection. And the over button modifications are still a plus over a regular Xbox Controller. I just wish the price was a lot cheaper

    The battery life on this controller is great. I don't play games a lot but the stand by is great as well. The control it's takes some time to get use too. I like the fact that I can set up the controller is great. I play most driving games and I can adjust the buttons to be soft or hard on the toggle's.

    The only issue i've had it has been the joy stick loosing its chrome a little bit from rubbing on the ring where it sits, but thats an issue of all controllers and i can easely replace the magnetic joy stick.

    This controller is amazing! I was very skeptical about spending so much money on a controller but it was well worth the money! Smooth, programmable, and works flawlessly i would recommend to anyone.

    Only issue ive had is bumpers being a lil weird (notorious in all xbox controllers). They sell a kit for them though so not much of an issue.

    Yes, the price point of this controller is quite steep at first glance. But if you even know what an elite controller is/capable of doing, you realize its much cheaper than a custom Scuf with the same capabilities. I use mine for FPS games and couldn't be happier. Had Elite V1 and bought this, happy with both!

    Fantastic controller! A little bit heavier than the original xbox controller, but got used to it quickly. Additional buttons can be easily changed on the xbox controller settings. Would recommend 100/10.

    Bought this to use with my Alienware 15" Ryzen Series 9 laptop. Was too much of a hassle using my keyboard. I'm very happy with the controller. Bluetooth connection is easy and so far I haven't experience any drops during gaming. So can highly recommend.
