    Upgraded from standard controller. There is a noticeable difference. I don't know if its wort almost double the price. If you find it on sale for 109.99 then I would say its worth it.

    I suffer from essential tremors, which means that 'normal' controllers cannot stand up to the involuntary twitches that make up my daily life. This controller was bought to replace the generation 1 equivalent, that developed drift, and so far has made me a happy customer. No need for replacement batteries, as the rechargeable battery is built into the controller!

    Very nice controller and a great value compared to standers controller. I was experiencing a lot of stick drift with standard controller and so far this has proven to be more durable and the battery last a long time.

    This is the best controller I have ever used. It feels great in the hand. The life battery is amazing. The interchangeable parts make this controller very customizable to your liking. Just to note, I have not had any drifting or button pressing issues. I may have lucked out but beware that those are things people have complained about.

    Best controller can’t give it 4 stars due to this is my 3rd one as stick drift is prevalent I. The elite series 2. The changeable sticks are great if you play different games as you can get a comfortable grip and not have to use extensions when you need finer movements.

    Its what you need. If you need a reliable simple and comfortable controller this is it. Officially licensed and backed by a big company, anything goes wrong(which it does it being heavily abused during online gameplay) then you have xbox 1 year warranty. Feels nice in the hands. Also has rechargeable batteries the way it should.

    Due to all the negative feedbacks on the series 1, I didn’t buy the 1st one. This time I took my chance hoping that the 2nd is much improved. It is an awesome controller. MS addressed many issues reported from the 1st one. I am loving it so far! The only downside is the price. Yes, it’s not cheap and with this money, you can buy a new console with little bit of extra.

    Definitely worth it, has a little more weight to it , sleek look. Love the protective case it comes with to charge inside, the gripped skin on it is great if you’re hands get sweaty. Paddle boards on back are awesome so you don’t have to take your fingers off toggle sticks... 100% worth the buy if you want the best playing experience

    Feels sturdy and the weight is nice. I’ve not experienced any drift or button issues I did have a launch model that was starting to develop bumper issues but that was after literally thousands of hours of use and only one bumper. I like it so I got another one.

    Solid FPS wireless controller

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The customization is really nice with the additional 4 back buttons. Thumb stick selection is nice, but a tall stick with a fat head would be better for FPS games for accuracy. Build quality seems sold, and weight feels premium. Wish it came with a wireless dongle. Picked up one up which adds to the total cost, and have only connection 1 drop so far. The D pad sucks. It is not responsive for fast paced games that use this like 2D platformers. I switch to a PS4 controller to play them. I use this for COD Warzone & picked up the warranty as reviews of it failing seem a little too frequent, and COD is harsh on controllers. I prefer the shspe & size of the PS4 & PS5 controllers a lot more, but the lack the buttons on the back. Removing those from the back is easy if you only need 2, or have larger hands and bump the wrong ones too much. It's definitely a med to large hands controller. Software works, and set up is easy

    I was skeptical about spending 150 bucks for a controller. After a few weeks, I don’t think I could go back. The ability to customize all the buttons, the addition of the four paddles, the feel, and long battery life makes this a worthy purchase. Took a few days to get used to the extra buttons, but well worth it. Highly recommended!!

    Common issue

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Dont get me wrong, I LOVE this controller… although ive owned two of these and the left bumper is almost guarenteed to start sticking and not taking input. Forcing you to use your paddles as bumpers. Otherwise build quality is pretty good d pad and joysticks very responsive and adjustble triggers are a must. Just watch out for this flaw and be prepared for specificlly the left bumper to fail because it only takes just long enough fir it to get out of warranty.
