    Everything is is adjustable. Trigger throw, stick tension and height, and paddles if you want them. This controller has been the answer to every complaint I’ve ever had about controllers since thumbsticks were invented. Seriously though, the Elite Controller has been a welcome addition to my gaming rigs. Not only do I use it with my XBox One, but it connects instantly with my PC to play the games that are better played with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. As far as durability goes- that remains to be seen. No drifting issues yet…

    I love everything about this controller. It's a game changer. The custom options make playing FPS games a dream. My only gripe is that I didn't purchase one sooner. Highly recommend.

    It’s a fancy Xbox controller. Paddles on the back and interchangeable sticks. Now has a rechargeable battery built in and a charging stand. So far works great. No complaints.

    I've been a Playstation/Xbox fanboy since the beginning! But wow, the Elite series 2 controller is a piece of art. This is the best controller feel I have ever got from any controller on any system ever, hands down. Well done Xbox!

    It's an amazing controller, but it is expensive.

    I game primarily on my pc, but I also primarily use a controller. I know, blasphemous. But for me using a controller is the most comfortable gaming experience. This is the king of controllers. Peak controller. No comparison. It's plug in (or wirelessly connect) and play. 99% of games support it. There really hasn't been a single flaw that I've run into. It feels fantastic and the build quality is something you'd expect a $180 controller to have. Obviously if you have $180 to spend on a controller, there really isn't too much competition, and rightfully so, as this thing has reached peak controller. I recommend it, but really only if you want the best of what controllers have to offer, and can afford it.
