    The stick drift but other than that it is really nice to be able to program the remote how you want it used

    use this with my gaming PC over basic xbox wireless controller. came from console so prefer this over mouse and keyboard input. no problems with this randomly disconnecting like the basic xbox controller did. and the build quality (rubber grips, sticks, triggers) just feel so good in the hand. color might be only gripe cuz it has already got pretty dirty so might swap for a different color.

    Every one of these controllers will have a little bit of stick dead zone. I returned one for another and still had dead movement in the sticks, I’m a stickler for stuff like that, and I guess it’s just a design flaw. HOWEVER it surprisingly doesn’t affect my gameplay in any way and I play DayZ and call of Duty a lot. Serves its purpose with the double button assignment feature and better paddles (I use lower half gen 1 elite paddles & upper half gen 2 & it’s perfect)

    Great price verse the upgraded one , we had the upgraded one with the case and extra accessories but when it broke and we needed a new onw my son decided on this one instead since he never used the case and all the accessories that came with the other one anyway so the price difference was worth it for us , the only thing I would say is that it would be nice if all the colors were available in both options

    The devices charge speed over USB-C is very fast with a good power source. An edge up in game being able to utilize your extra fingers on the back of the controller. The magnetic quickly swappable joysticks, D-Pad and, Paddles are truly easy enough to do between games loading. A perfect controller for someone who travels between multiple Xbox’s too keep their muscle memory and settings consistent with on-controller profile select.

    This controller is amazeballs!! The programmable 4 back paddles are a game changer. Takes awhile to program for different games and profiles but it’s worth it. Only for experienced gamers!- if you’re a newb concentrate on learning how to play first because this will confuse tf out of you but long time gamers don’t read anymore BUY NOW!!

    I had the first Elite controller and it had a lot of quality issues. The rubber grips would peel up after a few months and on one the sticks became very loose to the point where if you turned the control upside down they would move out a quarter of an inch. Luckily I had Geek Squad protection so when these issues came up I was able to get a replacement. So far with the Series 2 I have had none of these issues. I have put several hundred outs on this controller and it is still as solid as the day I bought it. The built in battery is nice too and lasts a very long time between charges.

    Really levels up your FPS experience. Takes a while to get used to the paddles but it’s a game changer if you’re trying to keep your thumbs on the sticks!

    Its pretty decent controller. I only got it because it had a rechargeable battery and I had a discount/giftcard for it. I don't see the price tag for what it is, but it's not horrible. I would probably buy it again just for the way it handles though. I like the grips all around. Still need more time to toy around with it.

    Elite controller is the best there is. Make sure to get the warranty if a heavy handed or avid gamer. Will drift after a year, when original manufacturer warranty expires. Buttons might break. It's a controller, a $200 one. Get a warranty.

    Great price for an Elite Series Controller

    I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.

    At first I thought the 200+ price point was outrageous but actually using the controller I can see why it was necessary. The controller is great, at first the diamond textured grips felt wierd but i got used to it. I have been using this non stop and the best part is I barely have to charge it. I played games for an entire week on one battery charge which to me is pretty outstanding. And the adjustable control sticks just make it all come together. Whatever game I choose to play the sticks are able to support the comfort and usefulness that i look for. I highly recommend this as a pick up.
