    The controller really helps with competitive games like shooters. And the choice of different custom profiles makes it very easy to change your settings for each game you play.

    Everything about it is near perfect, except the lower-right paddle slot; When the paddle is seated as best as possible, there is a generous amount of play.

    It didn't come with all of the parts needed and the controller itself was really greasy as it had sat out in the store.

    Amazing controller for the cost. Especially if caught in sale. Recommend ordering from third party for additional button, thumb stick, and paddles

    This is the best controller, unfortunately the rubber pads don’t last that long, maybe 10-11 months for heavy use (20 hrs a week), my advice, add the geek squad warranty, totally worth it. For that reason I don’t do the 5 starts

    I had the gen 1 elite and loved it so naturally I purchased the gen 2 and immediately fell in love with this one just as much as I did with the first one. The controller feels comfortable while playing for long amounts of time with the rubber grips all around and I love the fast charge with the new usb-c charger.

    Good for a year or so.

    Really an amazing controller... for the first year or so. The combination of the balanced weight, texturized grip, and upgraded button placements, with traditional xbox shape and feel, truly makes this a great investment for mid to high end gaming, or just to bump up your game play. This was my first upgrade from a normal controller and can never go back. The sad part, is this is my 3rd controller. After about a year or so, some of the buttons stop working, thus making it useless.

    Good controller. Accustomed to using a Scuff controller which is more versatile. A great option if you're not going custom.

    The controller is great and Microsoft is currently making it more repairable so if you get it, you’ll have it for a long time. but I would look out for elite series 3 soon

    Good controller for FPS games. Not that much use for anything else. Not really worth the hype for the price but does add some nice features like profiles and the RGBW home button.

    Would rate it 5 stars if I didn’t have a issue with the first one I bought. After researching there’s problems the joy sticks. Love the controller and the paddle options in the back. Definitely a must if your a COD player like myself.

    Stick drift

    It comes out of the box with stick drift, albeit can be fixed by setting a .1 dead zone. No other controller I’ve had needs this high a dead zone to work in fps games brand new. Controller is great for rpg’s, but get another option if you mainly play fps. Other than stick drift, the build quality is excellent. Back buttons are perfect. Customization options are 2nd to none. The drift was just a dealbreaker for me.
