    I use to own the original Ellie and loved it. Took awhile too but the Ellie 2 but immensely enjoyed using it like I did with the original. And with the accessories kit makes it hands down my favorite controller

    Its a great controller, feels good in your hands. Long battery life, a great many accessories. But I don't feel $180 price tag warrants. This should sell for what rival controllers go for or cheaper $125-150. Could use a little more quality components to hit that $180 mark.

    I've gotten many different types of controller brands. Gotta say that this was on my #1 spot on my list immediately. Just needs a little more customization when it comes to button binding.

    I love these controllers for the Xbox. My wife bought me one and it's been great to use. Awesome battery life. Can pair with laptop and phone too. Charges relatively quick. Comes with a case and extra accessories. Can change the color on the app.

    So far so good the controller feels like a premium accessory, the price tag is high and some people might find the buttons on the back annoying but the beauty of this controller is that you can customize it to your liking and however you feel it the best way to play. The only thing I wish this controller had that is missing is the share button the new one has.

    Best controller for PC

    Probably the best controller on the market right now, as a PC user. Just switched from a PS4 controller so I'm still adjusting but no other controller has as many options as this does. A best buy agent helped me with this purchase and I greatly appreciated it. Always buying from best buy whenever I can.

    The buttons are smooth and work great. The grip of the remote is comfortable for my small hands and my fiances big hands. I am excited to look at the interchangable parts.

    Been playing on the original Xbox and still have it along with 360 and XBox 1X. This is by far the best Xbox controller I have ever owned and experienced. The feel and controllers are definitely elite compared to all the other Xbox controllers. It was recently in stock and on sale which was a bonus.

    Better than the standard controllers. But they do not last much since the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    Gotta give Microsoft credit cuz they made the Elite controller even better. Solid built but I’m just waiting to see if there will be any stick drift I’m with this in the future. As of this review I’m 2 months in and so far so good. I don’t care for the grips, I’m hoping scuf comes out with their grips for this soon but other than that I think this is a perfect controller.

    Fantastic controller! This is the best controller for any console gamer wanting to have an edge or compete with PC players. The build is solid. It looks and feels great. Battery life is great. There are plenty of different options to configure to make the controller yours or to give you the right tools for each different game you might play.

    Such an awesome controller. The additional controls on the bottom are really helpful. Currently on the 3rd controller due to issues with bumpers. Likely normal wear and tear so can't complain much.
