    Had to return the controller after I found one of the paddles wasn't functioning. This was not fun to deal with of course, but the exchange process was easy, and the controller feels great to use for console gaming!

    I bought this for my nephew for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. It comes with case and a charger. You can set up the charger in the case for charging while not in use. You can change out the pads and change the tension on the triggers. Make this controller adapt to you instead of you adapting to the controller. Very much worth every penny!!!

    Would have preferred removable, compatible battery for swapping out charged units over installed rechargeable battery but unit is more svelte as a result, pleasure in the hands. Bluetooth at last, a welcome addition. Prefer to use keyboard but carpel-tunnel wrists and arthritic joints compel using a controller. The Elite had been my go-to until this upgrade.

    Good As Replacement But Feels Cheaper

    Solid replacement for elite series 2 but i wouldn't buy without the add ons. Parts relative to the more expensive version seem plastic which means it will likely break earlier.

    I love this controller. Soo good. I use the extra back buttons and tabs all the time. Makes gaming so much better now. Also the new d-pad should be standard now on new Xbox controllers it’s that good.

    They are great, but this is my 3rd one because they only seem to last a year and a half or so.
