    Great controller; it feels sturdy in my hands and has the right amount of weight. The fact that it is customizable is a definite plus. It's worth the price.

    Best controller I've ever used. 4/5 because I've had to send it back TWICE because of issues. MS is pretty quick (7ish days on average from sending back to receiving your replacement) and I cannot play on other Xbox controllers anymore, and it makes the cool PS% dual sense feel like it's just lacking features. I HIGHLY recommend you buy the 2 year replacement plan from BB. For hassle free replacements.

    Great controller with no stick drift. The customization for the front and real buttons are a game changer. The adjustable dead zone for the left and right trigger buttons reall help with fps games as well.

    Quite a nice sturdy feeling controller. It weighs quite a bit more than a normal Xbox controller as it has a built in battery and is just made of heavier stuff. I wish the built in battery was removable as I play wired. All in all if a heavy controller doesn’t bother you I would get it. Swing for the complete set if you can core is nice but having all the extras would complete it.

    The quality is nice and the controller has some weight to it. However, the buttons get stuck after very little time using it and it becomes very annoying. Yes, you can use the paddles as an alternative but sometimes there’s games you want to play regularly. 3 stars overall.

    Great controller for small hands

    Works like a charm. Tested with Windows PC, SteamDeck, and NVIDIA shield. Flawless connection. If you want to enable the levers you will have to buy the additional set for the paddles. This is only the controller itself. Works well with small hands, I am somewhat doubtful if this is very comfortable with large hands.

    This XBOX Elite series 2 core controller pairs well with PCs. I tried using my PS controller and it gave me a hard time. I would definitely buy another one.

    Time will tell on the grips but it’s already way better than the 1rst version with the built in battery and included chargers and a good battery life. While not as precise as I like in the joysticks they are very good. Triggers are great with more adjustability than previous version. Overall I’d say much better deal than version one even though it cost more, if the grips don’t fall off that is, which they shouldn’t.
