    Great controller, love that you can get it without the extra buttons but then have the option to add those later. Also love that you can change the color of the light behind the home button.

    I got this controller for the trigger stops and better build quality compared to the base controllers. I don’t use the paddles on the back of the controller because they’re to easy to mistakenly press.

    These controllers are cool in theory but in performance I think this will be the last one i buy. I have had 3 of these in 4 years, each on having a different issue. The paddles work great on each one for 2-3 months. One of them had a headset jack issue where everytime someone talked to me, they heard themself echo in my headset, if i changed controllers the echo would stop. And my very first one of these the lb bumper wore out after 2-3 months.

    Works well with the paddles. The black grips just dont work so well when your hands warm up and get a little sweaty. Hands start to slip. It like those hard rubbers that you cant really grip too good.

    Another controller turned into a paperweight.

    Purchased Nov 22, now it's Aug 18th at the time of writing this. Less than a year of ownership the RB button is now failing, it doesn't register a button press about 70-80% of the time I press the button. Previous Elite Series 2 controllers had these issues, however, I gave the benefit of the doubt when buying the "core series" hoping that they'd fixed this KNOWN issue, they didn't. Sadly, now this is my second almost paperweight Elite Series 2 controller with a broken/dying RB button. For the price of these controllers you'd think they have a highly build quality, they don't sadly. For those seeking a controller but play games that heavily use the shoulder buttons (RB/LB) don't waste your money on the Elite series, just buy the normal controllers. Now I resort to using one of the backpaddles to function as my broken RB button.

    This controller is incredible. My first pro and got it at discount. I don't even bother with my 3 other xbox controllers anymore. Great premium feel, back paddles are useful and love customizable features and great carrying case!
