    Buttons feel great. Also being able to change the 4 Back Buttons to whatever you wish allows you to pull of some crazy stuff in shooters and well as fighting games

    excellent controller with the same feel as the original Elite 2 controller, just without the included triggers/adapters (which I didn’t really use anyway); great value for the price

    I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

    Solid controller, I would recommend buying the protection plan just in case it fails, but I honestly love everything about this controller to include the 40 hour battery life. I take care of my things and I haven’t had any issue with the controller itself

    I really like it so far. I have stick drift already, but i upped my deadzone and its good now. This is my second one. My first elite had massive stick drift. This ones good. The controller feels really premium and i really like the trigger stoppers

    Version two is a step up from the original elite controller. High quality everything down to the rubberized feel. USB c makes this controller something that should last much longer than the original as this was a point of failure in mine.

    Love this controller! Switch from a different brand custom controller that started falling apart after 6 months! As soon as I opened this one I noticed the quality was much better! The ease of setting up your custom button profiles and switching between them is amazing!

    Having the elite controller helps out with a lot of games by allowing you to keep your thumbs on the joy cons at all times. The only thing I recommend is getting the protection plan since the buttons will wear down pretty fast
