    I think this control made back paddles mainstream and for that it has its place in history. But now there are better more reliable options on the market. If you don't need the back paddles the regular Xbox controller actually has lower (better) input latency than this controller. 7ms vs 14ms, defiantly makes a difference when playing anything online competitively. I would only buy this control for its comfort in hand factor and for playing single player games now days. Also lots and lots of QC issue with button actuation.

    I had the first Elite Series controller and it ate the batteries. This controller, with the built in battery, lasts a long time. Very happy with it.

    My son uses this for xbox and pc. It works great and he loves it. The paddles add extra customizable features that only this controller offers. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

    Truly the greatest controller ever designed. Weighs 2 to 3 times more than the other controller but when it comes to things I handle yhey have to survive usage. This controller is durable, effective, has trigger locks and multiple button presses

    Solid controller. Like the new adjustments to the joysticks and the 3 adjustments for the triggers. Feels sturdier than the v1. Has connectivity issues. May just be a bug with the new xbox. Overall its a great buy if you are serious about gaming or just like to adjust the controls.

    Great controller with long lasting battery. You never have to worry about batteries with the long lasting lithium battery. Only lasted me about 6 months before one of the bumpers stopped working. Going to exchange it for a new one soon

    For the price its amazing. Especially if you already have spare paddles and joysticks highly recommend this over the 200+ elite controller. Also, in more colors than black? Say less!!!

    Yet another great gift for grandson! He has wanted to up grade his controller for months, so it became a Xmas gift. According to him, his game skills have improved with this quality controller. Shopped around several places, prices were all comparable to each other, but availability and delivery time was best at Best Buy.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This controller is great for the longest time I swore I’d never spend this much on a controller…it’s worth it! It feels amazing in the hands-very textured and has a great weight!

    Overall great controller. I've been using it during long hours of gameplay and I don't find my hands getting fatigued. The buttons/paddles on the back are extremely useful and I find improve skill and performance. I would recommend this controller to anyone interested in competitive gaming and who wants comfort while gaming.

    Son loves it . It has new features that he likes. Not crazy about the price, but it is what it is. This was a Christmas present. People have said to watch the flippers on this remote because they break. So we will see how long they last.

    Owned the first elite for almost 3 years before the LB button finally gave out, decided to upgrade to the elite 2. So far it feels like a durable controller but I also bought the extended warranty in case I have any issues with it down the road like the original elite.

    The buttons give up after a year of use, buy at your own risk. Ps. The regular controller works better save your money :)
