Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options.

    Wow, switched from scuf controllers and just wow. Paddles took some getting used to tho. Very well done all around. Recommend protection plan tho. I had LB(left bumper) get sticky so just went to best buy n swapped. Very happy. Only thing scuf has better would be customizations.

    This controller is great for the xbox. Has multiple button settings which comes in handy if you want to change what each button does but the game doesnt allow it.

    I was actually really looking forward to this controller and was fairly disappointed. One of the analog sticks became drifty within a week and the back paddles are very small. Overall the controller looks great and has many options for variability.

    It a good upgrade from the series 1. I just wish the rubber grip backing. Other then that it’s a great controller for shooters and racing games.

    Near flawless control but had a small stick drift that persists today. Button layout is hard to get used to but is a somewhat quick learning curve if you’re going one button at a time

    Id say if your a hardcore gamer especially online this is for u with its customization and built quality its ment to take the hours youll put into it. But if u want a controller that doesnt break so easily this also works. Id say wait for the right price doe .

    Love it. Much better than the first version. 3 levels of trigger resistance. Internal battery. The paddles are a little shorter so it's not as easy to tap accidentally (it still happens from time to time). The construction and materials of the controller are pretty good.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019 I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m also not quite sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. It is pure perfection in your hands. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    Good controller for FPS games. Not that much use for anything else. Not really worth the hype for the price but does add some nice features like profiles and the RGBW home button.

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

    Its a very nice controller with all the bells and whistles. But my big con was the fact that i cant use my battery chargers. Can only use the plug and play which when you are far from tv gets annoying. If they fixed this id buy 2

    Bought this to replace my Elite Series One and it rocks! I use it for many games since moving over to my gaming PC and it is the best! Love the feel the build and how you can customize it even more then the first one! It is pricey I will admit but if you can spring for it do it and thank me later!
