    Id say if your a hardcore gamer especially online this is for u with its customization and built quality its ment to take the hours youll put into it. But if u want a controller that doesnt break so easily this also works. Id say wait for the right price doe .

    Its a very nice controller with all the bells and whistles. But my big con was the fact that i cant use my battery chargers. Can only use the plug and play which when you are far from tv gets annoying. If they fixed this id buy 2

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

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

    Why didn’t I make this upgrade sooner? Absolutely impressed with the build quality and structure of this controller. Many more upgrades from the V1 series and it will blow your mind. If you haven’t already, add to your cart and make the purchase. Thank you!

    Bought this to replace my Elite Series One and it rocks! I use it for many games since moving over to my gaming PC and it is the best! Love the feel the build and how you can customize it even more then the first one! It is pricey I will admit but if you can spring for it do it and thank me later!

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

    I’ve had it for about a year and it’s served me well but the left toggle has already stopped working properly as of a couple of days ago. Overall I love it and I’ll be getting another one. Hopefully Microsoft has improved their parts for it.
