    Controller works great with my PC. Being able to swap the stick and remap the buttons is great.

    This controller was one that I had my eyes on for a long while. After finally receiving it, I was a bit disappointing at how similar it feels to the other Xbox controllers. Besides the excellent controller grips and color, the thumb stick sensitivity is like the regular Xbox controllers. Xbox controllers in general have a bigger gap when it comes to precise thumb stick aiming than PlayStation so it was disappointing to see that the elite controller is the exact same when it is advertised as being able to set your thumb stick sensitivity. This is nowhere near the same sensitivity as Returned after a few days of testing.

    Stick drift day one

    I’ve owned around 12 of these controllers over the last 4 years. Between the Elite 1 & 2, there is a definite quality change in the feel of the control. Usually they last me between 4-6 months. I always buy the extended warranty because they break on me so consistently from just normal use. With my most recent purchase, I noticed stick drift occurring within the first day. I’ve had it about two months now and it’s absolutely maddening. I’ve been putting off getting a new one because they are never in stock at any of the three stores around me and I don’t want to wait for shipping. The extended warranty is an absolute rip off because you have to spend upwards of the 40 bucks to replace your warranty every time you have problems with them (which will be frequently). The warranty system is trash. The quality of the controllers are trash. These controllers have put me through so much crap that I m considering switching to PlayStation for next gen just to escape Microsoft’s terrible product quality. Signed a very unhappy customer

    This works group for iPhone/Oculus and computer use. I'm not sure why but using it blue tooth with my desktop computer comes with a ton of lag time. It's fine with the Long USB c cord that it comes with plugged into my computer.

    I loved these at first and then the buttons started to act up. Lots of flaws with this controller. X button works when it wants to. 2 paddles won’t respond so I don't use them anymore. Grip is slippery and gets annoying fast.

    This controller has come a long way compared to the gen 1 version. This feels more solid in my hands and I really enjoy the programmable buttons. Something that isn't well advertised is it comes in its own case that is chargeable as well. Love it.

    This controller is amazing! It’s very similar to the series 1, but has some great notable upgrades. My favorite new features are actually that it comes with a magnetic charging stand and the fact that it has an internal rechargeable battery. Worth every penny!
