    Overall I like this controller better than the standard one. The different saved profiles you can have on it makes it easy to switch when playing different games.

    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

    Its a pretty great controller. I love the back paddles and they remind me of the steam decks. The thumb sticks are also extremely smooth. These two things together i find myself fidgeting with the controller when watching youtube or otherthings on my PC. I got it to play games on my pc that use controller better than mouse and keyboard like fallen order, lego starwars or elden ring. The software you can download for it also lets you make profiles for it on PC and lets you change the color of the XBOX logo.

    The purchase was listed as open box excellent condition. A thumb stick and the cable were missing. I also had to replace a few internal components of the controller to get the controller in working condition. It appeared to have been heavily used. Other than that, these controllers are amazing.

    The controller when it works is fantastic! It may be my model or just a sheer amount of bad luck but these controllers for me have been very poor in the longevity department. As a fan of the Controller I’m disappointed to admit this but for the price and the reliability is just not worth it. Having to use your warranty to keep your controller in working order is quite annoying. As it can take up to a month before Microsoft returns it repaired or replaced with a new one.
