    This controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.

    Solid controller. Crappy bumpers. But all Xbox controllers have terrible bumpers. Overall, it’s worth the price for the amazing battery in this thing. I barely have to charge it

    Over all great controller the grips make it really easy to grasp after long intense play. Trigger stops are a huge improvement over the previous version with the ability to have a 3rd more subtle option rather then default and full stop. The joystick tension is a welcomed addition as well although i wish there was a 4th adjustment setting which allowed for an even looser then stock. The controller also have phenomenal battery life. On several occasions i have gotten 4 days of use with 6 hrs of play time on and off. Other then that theres not much to say is it worth 170$ is up to you but to me its a great controller i would strongly reccomend.

    Great controller feels really good, the cons is so many issues with the bottoms; right out of the box B don´t work very well some time after using it this kind of fix it self, I month ago the RB start to giving me some issues.

    Best controller I have ever used. I honestly stopped playing my Playstation 4 because of this controller. Battery life, customization and most of all the tension control on the joysticks are amazing.

    Battery life in it is excellent and I love how it feels. Had drift in the right stick for a while but haven't experienced it in some time. It's comfortable to use and I plan to be using it for a long time.

    IMHO the price point on this controller is a real blocker. I would have tried one years ago at $100, maybe even $130, but near $200 for a controller is a lot to ask. That being said, thanks to not going out for a year I've saved enough money to justify this kind of opulence and I'm glad I went for it. It comes with a charging dock you can rest it on which is nice. I'm mainly a single player gamer so having 1 controller constantly charged is a big deal. I dropped the flippers on the back and swapped out joysticks. The directional pad is an improvement (and you can swap it out too if you disagree). You don't need this controller, but if you're interested and have money to burn you have my blessing.

    Good improvements over the first version

    All I can say is they improved an already great controller. Battery life is way better than the first version and I like the improved grips your palms rest on. And for those upset that you can't change the batteries, I feel its now a mute point. They have a very long a generous USB-C charging cable and the controller has no issues being used while charging (unlike some that can tend to drop the signal when this occurs). The only odd thing both a friend and I have noticed (we purchased at the same time) is that the Xbox button can be a bit off when pressing to turn on/off and other functions. It seems the click point is not as centered as the pervious version and is s bit more toward the right bottom of the circle.

    Xbox knows these elite controllers will break easily so instead of fixing the overall issue they make a controller that doesn’t come with a case or extra buttons. Its their way to cheap out and make the consumer pay more and more for their mistakes. Works fine but be warned once you use these its hard to not and you’re stuck buying expensice controllers.

    I really like the design and feel of the controller. The extra paddles on the bottom are very helpful on games that allow for button customization. My biggest disappointment with the controller is that some buttons become sticky over time where they fail to register in-game. Also, thumbstick drifting becomes an issue over time. I have had to replace this controller already for this issue. Paying $180 for a controller that fails only after a few months of use is VERY disappointing.
