    The best controller of all time!

    This controller has the best build quality of any controller of all time. The weight feels excellent in the hand and the wrap around grips make the feel even better. The paddles have a new feel to them that the original elite controller did not have and it feels great. The whole controller immediately feels more precise and quality than the regular xbox controller. This is completely worth it if you have the money.

    Awesome controller, minor issue with stick drift but it’ll take about 3-4 months until it really give in.

    I love this controller! It’s heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. It also has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. I would definitely recommend this to others.

    Best controller I've used to date. Has some weight to it and feels grippy. The software allows you to remap buttons and change the color of the x button. Id definitely spend the extra money for the case dock and paddles.

    Controller feels great and the weight makes it feel premium. Bought the controller for the rear buttons and it works well. Xbox controller software lets you tune the controller to your liking. May be on the expensive side because a regular Xbox controller functions the same minus the back buttons and the tuning capability.

    You can feel the difference in quality on this controller compared to the standard Xbox ones. Even if you are not looking to use all of the features, you might have gone through two or three controllers already because they broke. Good investment to make if you are in that situation or if you do not want to keep on replacing part on your controller. The customization on the elite is endless. The four paddles feel great. The ability to tighten and swap out the joy sticks is also great.

    Almost Exceptional Product Design

    Yes, I believe this device deserves a 4/5 rating for the following reasons: I love the adjustable trigger settings, controllers really did need this. I also think that the customizable joysticks, and d pad are cool, the material enveloping the grips are very comfortable and give that premium feeling. I love the paddle feature which is the most interesting change. I think the most essential feature for my gaming experience is the trigger adaptation. The one thing im missing to making this controller exceptional in overall tech. I expected there to be another feature for push to talk, or an open mic built in like the playstation controller, also i expected the buttons to be quieter clicks so hardcore gamers like myself aren't disturbing other peoples sleep with loud clicking. OH and the fact that the share button feature was removed, that was a big one for me. (I'd recommend this item until something better comes out.)

    Awesome Competitive Controller

    I traded my old Elite Series 2 (RB, back paddles, and B button would get stuck occasionally) for a new Elite Series 2 controller they had at the Best Buy store, and oh boy was the new one better. Now, the buttons and everything function as intended. Onto the specs. The controller is heavy, but I do not mind the weight and it is comfortable. I like the four back paddles as I do not have to remove my thumbs away from the thumbsticks to press the buttons that are on the front of the controller. This is a game-changer for me because you will have a faster response time than other players who own a regular controller and do not own back paddles. Overall, this controller is worth the price if you want a competitive edge and desire everything that is included with this version of the controller. Just be aware that it might be a defective one.

    This is my 5th Elite controller. They're very good for competitive players, but can easily use them for casual laid back gaming. Has plenty of customizations and sure is pretty to look at. I would recommend getting the Geeksquad Protection though, as the controllers tend to drift after a year of use.

    By far the heaviest of the XBox controllers out there mainly due to a 40 hour rechargeable battery. The rubberized grips do make it a much more pleasant controller to use. Easier to hold on to. The variety of buttons and sticks is always nice and they are simple and easy to replace. Extra buttons with three button profiles to save to. With an indicator light to tell you which profile you are using. The charging hub is not large and can easily sit on top of the console. Con: Expensive!

    Absolutely love my Elite controller. Heavier weight, textured rear grip, customizable binds, home button color, joy stick resistance, customizable trigger settings, & more. My ONLY issue is the stupid bumpers are still cheaply made. BUY THE WARRANTY!!

    Its a great feeling controller that does what a pro should be able to do. Last 40 hours with a single charge, can be customized on the xbox and saves the data. Only draw back is you need to buy the attachments so plan for a extra 50 down the road.

    These come with tons of options for customization as far as your gaming style! They work super great and I have had 0 issues as far as connectivity and stick drift. I wish they were more sturdy one drop and the its opening at the edges. The magnetic joysticks and dpad are super cool but for me stronger magnets would be appreciated. Because that one drop, makes them pop off, sometimes found like a year later!

    This should be the standard for all controllers to achieve. The amount of tweaking and customizing is insane, and only goes to show how much care Microsoft put into this controller. Travel case, charging dock, swappable d-pads/control sticks, textured grips, cables, tension tool, programmable profiles, trigger stops, paddles, I mean, I don't know what else they could do to make this thing even better. My hat goes off to you, Bravo!

    [Employee of bestbuy] I originally bought this controller on a whim (I had a rewards certificate that was going to expire). I was originally a Playstation controller person stretching back to my PS2 as a kid, but I'm in love with the elite. The extra weight of the controller was a bit weird at first but now other controllers seem like a cheap toy in comparison. This is high quality and can take a beating as it travels with me. One word of caution: Use the included case if you're traveling with it. Because the D-pad and analog sticks are hot-swappable that means they're also removable. The analog sticks especially can and WILL fall off if you just throw this in a backpack or something. It comes with a really nice case, so just use that. I don't like the paddle buttons in the back but that's okay because you can take them off. Very happy with this purchase and I'll get another one or an Elite 3 when the time comes to replace it.

    This controller is heavier than the regular Xbox controller. You can change out thumb sticks, d-pad and paddles. The thumb sticks have adjustable tension and it allows you to save four presets including the default to the controller (double the first elite controller). The triggers have three settings which are good for those needing to setup for faster shooting in games. This is a durable alternative to the original controller and totally worth the investment for serious gamers.
