    Love how you can Customize your buttons to the back paddles easily through the app and plenty of joysticks and able to tighten the joysticks and accessories to find the one you like. Did get stick drift relatively fast but I do use it a lot.

    I had the first version of the pro controller and I really liked it. The joysticks were always an issue though. This thing is awesome. I've charged it twice in a month and a half of use between my PC and Series X. The ability to adjust the tension of the sticks themselves is one of the biggest improvements. I tell my friends that play Destiny with me they need to get this controller all the time.

    It’s what you’d expect from an elite controller but for some reason this one doesn’t come with the variety of customization out the box. So you have to buy separately.

    This was my first controllee with paddles. There is some stick drift but nothing crazy. I do like how the parts are easy to change and software is easy to customize button

    This controller is worth it if you play FPS games. I love the fact the paddles help with not taking my thumbs off the controller. I will say if you do play a lot the quality built is around 3.5 to 4 stars. The longevity of this controller I feel is an open debate because I had to use my geek squad replacement plan a couple of times within a 4 year span. I do play about 10-20 hours a week. I don't know if anyone else has issues with sticky buttons (right/left bumper) or drifting joy sticks. I had both.

    Best upgrade from the original Elite

    Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

    The greatest controller ever, feels quality in the hand. Response time is quicker but not really worth the premium price. The old version was only 150 and felt better. This one is a bit smaller

    Controller is good compared to the regular Xbox controllers, however after 10 months the right bumper started to give out, luckily I had the geek squad replacement plan, so I got a new one. Hopefully the new one will last a bit longer

    Feels good, but Bad Quality control and not worthy

    Overall, the controller felt good when sitting on the hands. The dome joystick and the adjustable tension makes it really comfortable to play games. But there are still some issues on the controller I received. I can hear something when I shake it; the dead zones of the joysticks are even larger than my regular one s controller; the top part along with the bumpers is a bit loose. I don't think paying almost $200 for a possible defective controller is a wise choice. Also, as a PC gamer, I don't feel the upgrade worth that much of penny that is 3-5 times more than a regular one s controller.
