    This thing feels so good in your hands. Love how you can adjust the shooting trigger. And adjust tension on the joysticks Really premium. Can't go back to a regular controller after this.

    By far the best xbox controller you can get, easy to use and customize to your liking. The stiffness of the triggers is a game changer in any games, makes you ads and shot so much faster. Once u buy this controller you’ll never buy a regular controller again. Ive bought 4 so far and will continue too.

    Microsoft stepped it up with this contoller here are the improvements I really think stand out 1) Grips changed, my last to controllers they came off.. it is different on this one and feels like it will handle the stress of gaming longer 2) Buttons, the buttons feel better, from the lit up Xbox button to menue and ABXYs 3) 4 saved settings for different games, with the light indicator 4) integrated recharble battery and charger in case 5) smaller paddles making them better located for use Still working on cons list but here is the only one I have so far 1) charging cored is a little difficult to feed through the carry case to the charging base.

    This WAS my 2nd elite. Ended up getting the white and black recently becuz this elite bumpers were messed up and the left thumb stick wouldn’t move my in game character forward nor sprint. I was out of warranty and couldn’t send it in. So I now have 3 elites smh. Series 1 and two series 2. Lol it’s a great controller for PVP and PVE. Just don’t drop the controller. Not even once.

    Great controller especially if you use additional paddles. However the controller does not seem to last more than a year without starting to develop stick drift and bumper issues. I've been through three controllers in less than 3 years with moderate to heavy use. If you buy a BestBuy geek squad extended warranty, just be aware that if you have to use it, you will have to buy another new policy for the replacement controller. The 2 year policy ends as soon as you use it.

    I'm super amazed at this controller. Received as a birthday present from wife. Apparently the BB employee pointed her in the PROPER DIRECTION... she knows I'm a hardcore gamer and wasn't looking for or needing a typical controller. This thing is a beast! I haven't even begun to exploit the power, but I've built a couple of game specific control schemes and felt the difference in make-quality. The internal battery life (~15-20 hrs) is definitely better than what I've gotten from my recharger packs from Nyko charging base (typically 10+hrs). And looking forward to solid compatibility with Series X systems!

    The Elite controller was just as good for sensitivity and control. The handles wore and started to separate from the rubber, so I needed a new controller. I'm not sure what was expected of this new controller, but it does pretty much the same. I do like the idea that it will be compatible with the new Xbox coming in Nov/Dec 2020. The one new feature that is great (so far) is the rechargeable batteries. I would use rechargeables in my old controller, but would have to keep swapping them out. With these, I just use the USB cord which I like a little more.

    Had issue with Buttons going out! Controller is very solid and feels high quality. Quality control could use work for functionality! Heard not all of the controllers have issues so you could get lucky and if you do its probably the best controller out there when it works!
