    Not for competitive PC players (get anything else)

    No matter how much I tweaked the thumbstick tension and spent time "breaking in the sticks" or adjusting thumbstick curves in settings, it just never gave me the level of responsiveness that some stock controllers do (Dualshock 4, Dual Sense, Gamesir G7, Wolverine v3 TE, 8bitDo Ultimate 2). AND those controllers are a fraction of the price. It's unfortunate because the feel of this controller is above and beyond all others. It has a nice weight and overall feel in the hands. The back paddles are also excellent. It's just a shame that the actual responsiveness does not match.

    Really the best option for Xbox controllers. If you are aggressive with your controllers like me plan on needing a new one every 1.5 years. Get the Elite controller that comes with the paddles, and then just get this core controller after you break a button.

    You can’t ask for a better controller for Xbox. Its durable, has a built in rechargeable battery, and is customizable to your preference.

    The ALMOST perfect modern controller

    As someone who prefers Xbox controllers over others, this controller is top of the line and gives you enough accessibility to customize and personalize your controller to your preferences with different presets so you can alternate between different game types and adjustable thumbsticks and triggers. The controller is of course just the elite series 2 controller but without the accessory kit and unfortunately it carries over the same issues the previous controller has. Thankfully, in my experience with this controller, I’ve had much less issues especially within the nearly two years I’ve had it. Would I recommend it? Absolutely… with the warranty. It feels as if they made these controllers with flaws or degradation over time and not built to last unless you’re extremely careful and lucky!

    Best contoller ever.

    While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

    Feeling Elite

    This controller is an absolute game changer. I haven't really been able to take full advantage of its capabilities, but the configurations are unreal. Just the feel of this thing is far more superior than the standard Series X controllers. The price is justified just be sure to purchase this item with Total Tech Membership or a credit card with insurance coverage, to ease the price point sting. If you protect this purchase its definitely worth the price.

    I had hope there would be a noticeable difference over the standard controls in feel or gameplay. It was actually a little harder to "run" the player for the first several sessions then it seemed to break-in. I love the rechargeable battery, hope the life is good. The rubberized grip is probably the biggest difference. If budget doesn't matter, go ahead, but maybe stick with standard controllers if it's a stretch.

    This is a really great controller! The battery is amazing. I opened it up and started playing with it, and it took 4 days of heavy playing until I had to charge it for the first time. The controls feel great, and I love how the sticks can be changed out. The paddles are amazing, and will greatly increase your success in playing fps games.

    Great controller. Trigger work well and the feel is great. I just find myself clicking the “A” button and it doesn’t always go through.

    I’m on my third elite controller… but the durability is waaaay beyond the scuf. If you’re looking for paddles and button mapping, don’t go anywhere else. Only gets 4 stars because I have had to replace two one for stick drift and one because the X A and RB all started to fail.

    Feels Great! But...

    It feels phenomenal, just like every Elite controller Microsoft makes. But just like every Elite controller Microsoft makes, it wears too quickly. The rubber grips aren't a problem this time, bur there's already drift on one of the sticks and the R-trigger is squeaking loudly. It feels like these things are destined to break down quickly despite being the most comfortable and satisfying controllers to use.

    It feels much nicer than your run of the mill controller. As a casual gamer the back bunper buttons are kinda cool but take a lot of getting used to. The texturizes grips are great and the quality is good. Recommend grabbing on sale cause its not quite worth the full sticker price.
