    Best Controller ever made for xbox! A little pricey, but worth it, you no longer need actual batteries, and you can replace literally any gesture from any button for the paddles! Works excellent with Warzone. I used to mess up all my controllers from double pressing the joy stick to sprint, now with this controller, I don't have to use the joy stick button, and replaced it using the paddle! So much smoother and improves your gameplay !

    Loce the fact that i dont have to replace batteries all the time with this controller and in which, the internal battery last a while, thinking close to 20hrs before recharging if not longer. Enjoying the customization and button mapping for the extra slots.

    The controller is awesome and last pretty long too with battery. However, it’s a good idea to get the warranty on it if you’ll use this frequently when gaming. These are definitely not immune to stick drift or some buttons sticking.

    The controller is good. Plagued with issues of buttons not responding, triggers failing, stick drift but when it works it works well. I have one and my son has one. Mine still works great. My sons is another story.

    This one of the best controllers on the market. Well worth the price tag of $180 added with the Microsoft wireless adapter for $25. I recently got into gaming on the PC and was previously using a standard Xbox one controller. the difference between the standard and the elite is night and day. More advanced options, slightly heavier, comfortable grips, switchable parts, and a battery life that will last your for a couple of days on a full charge. No complaints yet.

    Best Xbox controller for competitive gaming. I will see it is better to get the insurance with this item because the buttons and joystick tends to wear out.

    Love my Elite 2. I've tried other pro level controllers but went back to the Elite 2. Love its weight and how customizable it is. Be sure to get the warranty though, they're not fragile but their lifespan is notoriously bad. Ive gone through 2 but thanks to the warranty replacing them was a breeze.

    I had an Elite Series 2 for over a year. Many buttons failed. Wanting to keep the high end controller experience continue, i opted for the Core. Bery peased. Great feel. A few button misses which are to be expected with an Elite. Its common but not a big deal.

    Very good controller. A little pricey though. The feel of the device in hand is great and very different from the standard controller. And there are so many configuration options it seems overwhelming.

    I stick by the elite controllers, they have an amazing hand feel and the paddles on the rear are in absolute perfect positioning for my hands - biggest reason I keep returning to them, I can’t game without them now it’s almost like you forget they’re there and it just becomes a regular button that naturally integrated. My only complaint is the bumpers- the elite controllers are notorious for having the bumpers go out after a year or two ( and the grips start popping off, but some precision super glue or adhesive and it’s like nothing ever happened ) so you do end up needing to replace them every couple years - I’m on my 4th elite controller since the very first gen 1 elite controller release.
