    Best contoller ever.

    While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

    This controller is an absolute game changer. I haven't really been able to take full advantage of its capabilities, but the configurations are unreal. Just the feel of this thing is far more superior than the standard Series X controllers. The price is justified just be sure to purchase this item with Total Tech Membership or a credit card with insurance coverage, to ease the price point sting. If you protect this purchase its definitely worth the price.

    I’ll start by saying I paid for it with credit card rewards- so I didn’t have to pay any extra for it. While it’s a bit pricey, I do love it and am glad I got it. It’s very comfortable, the metal pieces are really nice and it just feels better than a regular controller. I dropped it once from maybe two feet up, some of the metal pieces popped out but they popped right back in because they’re magnetic, which is actually really cool. No issues with stick drift (yet) after a few months of use. Love it so far.

    Great controller. Trigger work well and the feel is great. I just find myself clicking the “A” button and it doesn’t always go through.

    I ended up returning this item. I like the charging station it came with. The paddles on the back are a really nice addition. Unfortunately it had stick drift very quickly. I returned it because withing a few days I had regular stick drift. So, I could tell it was at a higher quality and better controler but the stick drift so early on was something I had to return for. For the dollar amount, I felt there should be no issues with it day 1.

    I had hope there would be a noticeable difference over the standard controls in feel or gameplay. It was actually a little harder to "run" the player for the first several sessions then it seemed to break-in. I love the rechargeable battery, hope the life is good. The rubberized grip is probably the biggest difference. If budget doesn't matter, go ahead, but maybe stick with standard controllers if it's a stretch.

    Really the best option for Xbox controllers. If you are aggressive with your controllers like me plan on needing a new one every 1.5 years. Get the Elite controller that comes with the paddles, and then just get this core controller after you break a button.

    Nice remote works well with no issues. I preferred the black edition, but settled for this one; I just didn't see the need for so much more money just to receive an all-black edition.

    my all time favorite controller, well worth the money, everything about it is premium, the only bad thing about it is that it will eventually get the stick drift, I've gone through 3 elite controllers but I keep coming back, best to get the warranty, if people are asking why I think its the best controller even tho it has a major flaw, my response is this, a lot of other controllers now have the same issue, the difference is that this controller is just built better overall

    The ALMOST perfect modern controller

    As someone who prefers Xbox controllers over others, this controller is top of the line and gives you enough accessibility to customize and personalize your controller to your preferences with different presets so you can alternate between different game types and adjustable thumbsticks and triggers. The controller is of course just the elite series 2 controller but without the accessory kit and unfortunately it carries over the same issues the previous controller has. Thankfully, in my experience with this controller, I’ve had much less issues especially within the nearly two years I’ve had it. Would I recommend it? Absolutely… with the warranty. It feels as if they made these controllers with flaws or degradation over time and not built to last unless you’re extremely careful and lucky!

    Great Product, only problem is very, very minor stickdrift. You will have to add a very small deadzone. This might just be my product but other than that its a good controller. Variable trigger travel is good for a lot of games. The adjustable stick tension is good for precision games too. There could also be more options for Joysticks but the ones included work fine, like if they made it so that you could buy more options it would be great. The controller is also sleek and stealthy enough for my taste.
