    My favorite controller

    I have had both the series 1 and series 2. The series 2 is in my opinion much better. I also have the PS5 dual sense edge which is their version of the same type of controller and this one is much more consistent and I have never had issues with it. I just bought a new replacement after the one I bought when they first came out finally stopped working. Would recommend if you like the xbox controller design.

    This is a very good product. It has been so much better than my previous controller. It has a lot of configuration with the paddles which makes it so good to use.

    its a great controller, the paddles will take a bit of getting used to, but you can remove them easily if you don't want to deal with them, personally I prefer the grip on the era 1 elite controller, but this one is still a great controller for competitive players

    A year later review: Bumpers are poor and don't work 60% of the presses you do, so you have to make your paddle buttons the bumpers. The top smaller bumpers don't work 50% of the time anymore. Both of the sticks are really loose so you have stick drift if you don't have a decent sized dead zone

    Great Controller for playing on Xbox but with an asterisk. If you want to save your money get the protection plan as the controller will inevitably fail. I am on my 4th one now and so glad that I always get the protection plan.

    It is a great controller for going pro or other (etc) but my only issue was the bumpers stop working and need to have pressure applied to them

    This controller gave an undoubtably edge and was a fantastic upgrade from the old elite controller. The RB and LB on the original popped out on me and a few friends. Haven’t had any concern with that with the new one. Love the rechargeable battery and the charge stand in the case.
