    Love the paddles, a must if you are playing fps, I owned two of the original elite controllers and the quality was better. The new elite core seems to not permit multiple inputs at the same time prioritizing set moves before others which can mess with the gaming experience.

    Very great quality controller with pretty much unlimited customization.I’d like to give it a 5 stars but they still had a problem with lb and Rb stopping working. Went through at least 4 elite 2s due to RB or Lb no longer working.

    I have liked the elite controllera but the stick drift is still an issue for me. I returned about 3 controllers so far and wish they had a way to replace the modules. If they ever come out with an elite controller that allows u to replace the stick modules it would be a near perfect controller

    With this control in your hands you will be playing like a pro in no time. The quick response of the adjustable trigger locks allows for faster response time. Fully customizable button mapping with the use of paddles also allows for quicker and easier access to pull off those difficult combos. Definitely the controller on the market.

    My first console was the Xbox 360 amd i loved that thing. But havent had a console since then. Ive been playing pc for a long time and I had a PS4 controller that I bought from a friend and connected through Bluetooth. But its nothing when compared to this. Better feeling, ease of use, just love it. Just make sure to get rhe app to have it work right in your pc

    This would be my 3rd and final xbox elite controller purchase. Every single version.... Stick drift and double tapping right bumper. If you play fps games .. skip this one. You'd break it within 2 months. I'd out money on it. It's a shame. It feels really good on your hands, and the buttons feel so smooth, until it stops working properly.
