    This controller is amazing, so much customization and the build quality is fantastic. I’ve heard there are problems with it breaking down the road so I purchased the extended warranty.

    This is a great purchase and I am so happy that comes with the customization that comes with the paddle under it and with the app on my Xbox to make this even more custom, especially with the trigger locks

    The quality is not too much better than the basic Xbox controller, and it is much heavier than the basic controller. The reason I buy it is for its four back paddles. I do not recommend it for its quality and current price if you do not need the back paddles. I have three of them, this is the third one. Two previous ones failed at some point in a year. One has a drift stick, and the other's stick does no click. Microsoft really needs to do better job for a more quality product.

    Overall decent feel, takes some getting used to. Great mapping and good feel in the hands. I still think the joysticks are a bit odd but I’m used to it and happy with the added triggers

    This controller has some definite improvements from the series 1. The charging port is easy to use and the battery is long-lasting. Most of the features feel the same when playing, which is still good quality.

    Feels amazing. You’ll never go back from using paddles once you get used to it. Left thumb stick stopped working fully after about 6 mo but Xbox repaired it under warranty

    The elite series 2 has solved all the issues from the original. The analog stick tension adjustment is the best feature. Overall the controller is well build and feels solid. I am happy with the internal battery life as I go weeks between charging.
