    For the FPS player ( war zone / cod ) Sticks have good accuracy smooth and tons of adjustments. Only issue is the biggest of them all !! Stick drift - elite series 2 , Microsoft charges 200+ and hasn’t resolved the issue, 2cd controller in 2 yrs - get the geek protective insurance

    Purchased as a replacement/upgrade for the 3 Elite V1's I've owned over the past several years. Right off the bat, the controller feels more thought out. The grips feel nice. The built in battery is a huge plus. USB-C is the natural progression and the fact that it will be compatible with next gen/Project Scarlet is HUGE. The paddles aren't as large, so they feel more organic.

    Amazing controller, everything you would ever need/want. Although the durability is horrible, everything starts to wear down, even the trigger locks. Although they did increase the base warranty to a full year so that’s why I made it a 4 star.

    I've waited some time before making a post about the controller. Now I am NOT a big time games but I do solely use my elite controller when I do because it just feels good in my hands. It has a nice SOLID feel to it.

    This controller is a huge upgrade from the original. The trigger stops are amazing, the dock for charging is great. And the app to customize everything is still great. The only thing that could be better is the grip. At times it feels slick to me instead of more grip which is the opposite of what was intended.

    So I bought this controller on the word of my teenager….He knows his stuff!! The controller isn’t even the best part! The extra paddles and extended charging cord definitely make this a worthwhile investment. Customization for what you prefer is what makes this a worthwhile purchase :)

    This controller is definitely worth it! Most basic controllers last me a few months but this one so far has outlasted and out performed all others. Just buy it you will spend more in the long run replacing the cheap controllers.
