    I don't know why I spend so much money on a controller because I'm a PC gamer. Only use this thing for Street fighter and sports games. Great quality and customization options but truthfully could have just gotten by with the regular controller. Can't recommend because of the price and if you really want great control just get a PC and switch to keyboard and mouse

    I am a Scuf user. Got gen1 Elite controller 2 or 3 years ago and hated the paddles. Went back to Scuf. Wanted a new Scuff, but they were out of stock for Xbox. Decided to go with Gen2 Elite and was impressed. Paddles weren't as sensitive as the Gen1s. That's was my main gripe, love the improvements from the 1st elites. If they change the paddles to be on the back like the Scufs I would stay with the elite controllers. But will be buying a new Scuf soon, but the elite will definitely stay as back up.

    I've owned several of the Elite 1 and 2 controllers and it feels weird using the regular ones. I initially bought the controller to lower the brightness of the xbox button. But, now I like the feel and weight of the Elites amd can't go back. I do t use all the attachments. I do chanhe the depth feature of the triggers when playing online shooters. Probably doesn't help me.

    The best controller you can get for PC or Console gaming. The heavy duty feel demonstrates the sturdiness of the controller. The adjustable trigger sensitivity works flawlessly. The price point is perfect for those who already own an elite 2 with the additional paddles, and thumb sticks as this product doesn't come with them, but works just the same.

    I hate giving this a 3 but its only because i had 2 of these in 1 year. I bought one the stick locked up , easily exchanged it because of warranty and the new one locked up in less then a week. Now the plus is its easy to set up and it has multiple sticks that work well with my thumbs. But for being the Xbox brand, im disappointed

    Great controller if you want the ability to customize the settings. Once I played with the Elite, never went back to standard. Like being able to swap dpads, adjust trigger pull, and add levers to the back for additional functions.

    We got this to replace an elite controller that our kids dropped. This is every bit worth the money if you like to gaming. It takes a moment to get use to the paddles but once you do there’s no going back. Worth the money. Having the ability to select different settings for different games and have them programmed is epic!

    The controller is great. It’s heavier compared to most other controllers, which is something I like. The trigger stops are nice for most games I play. Along with the four buttons on the back you can use to map buttons to.

    This controller is amazing. Like most xbox controllers it will eventually have stick roaming but if you catch it onsale buying it once a year and a half or so it isnt bad if you are a daily user like me.

    Great controller for Xbox games. I use it for all of my games, but bought it especially for Call of Duty since it has several adjustable components. I do not mind skipping the extra joysticks and charging case, so I did not need to spend more money on the more expensive elite controller.
