    Worth the upgrade

    I decided to upgrade my normal XBox controller to this, and it was definitely worth the money. First, it has a jack for any headset rather than just the funky XBox headset. Having the paddles on the back is still taking some getting used to, but it helps you keep both thumbs on the joysticks. Adjusting the trigger pull is something I never thought about, but it has improved my gameplay. Overall, it is much more expensive, but a major upgrade from the original XBox controller. The only downside is the lack of customization. Fortunately there are some wraps and cases you can get aftermarket to truly make this controller your own.

    I really like this controller, but feel it's way overpriced. You can really customize the buttons if you'd like which is great! It has a solid sturdy feel to it and is a little heavier than a normal controller. I hope it continues to work well.

    Improved on Series 1 in Every Way

    If you've used the Series 1 Elite Controller, you know all the benefits it has over the standard Xbox One controllers. The paddles will change the way you play shooters if you just take the little bit of time to get used to them. The Series 2 controller makes the paddles a bit more tactile and they have more of a click to them. The thumbsticks have 3 levels of tension adjustment to make them feel like a default Xbox One controller, an Xbox 360 controller, or something in between. The bumpers have been improved, and the new grips are built in a way to where they won't expand and fall off like the old version did. The Elite Series 1 controller was the best controller I ever used and my favorite to play with, but this controller has replaced the old version. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys playing competitive shooters and wants to take their game to the next level.

    I love this controller! It’s the best Xbox controller for sure! The best part is the paddles in the back that you can set to be any button on the controller. It’s gives you the ultimate advantage against your opponent!

    This controller is great! Love the adjustable to ensuon on the thumbsticks. Feels sturdy and controls are snappy. Shoulder buttons feel a bit flimsy, probably wouldn't survive landing directly on them in a fall, but that is no different than any other MS controller. Handle grips feel a bit sticky, but easy to grasp overall. Battery life is absolutely insane! Used it for 2 weeks on a full charge before it even indicated it was running low. Would recommend!

    I love this remote ! The main reason to buy it was because I play CoD, and sadly my thumb gets tired for running, with this remote that pain is not a problem anymore. I was able to modify the bottoms wherever I needed to be.

    This controller replaced a white one we had that broke. My son still uses this controller every time he plays his game. I don't know too much about gaming but my son speaks highly of this controller. BUY THE WARRANTY!

    Very sturdy. Doesn’t feel cheap. Nice weight, that makes you feel like you’re really in the game. Built in battery is very convenient and long lasting. Customizing and tweaking to your preferences makes it the best available controller out there.
