    This controller is worth every dollar. It feels premium, the buttons are premium, highly customizable, additional buttons, and icing on the cake is that it comes with a rechargeable battery and charging stand built in.

    Great controller! But... I think its a real shame that its expected to fail in some way (stick drift or bumber not working, etc) after a few months. Maybe 6 months I think. I on my 2nd or 3rd one and I do treat them well, never in a damaging way. I will say that it takes me time to adjust to normal controller after using an elite controller. I cannot recommed this to anyone without warranty of some kind.

    I absolutely love this controller, it elevates my FPS play style to new heights especially with popular titles like Apex Legends. If you play it, you know what im talking about. Im talking near perfect beams, key mechanics easier to execute due to the back pedals (B-Hopping), and ease of customization not only through physical changes, but the plethora of software changes that literally adjust the way you aim and shoot. Im not a pro gamer, by any stretch, but since I've had this controller. I went from 1-2 kill games to 5-10 kill games. Im a warzone player too, beams go both ways my friend. Sony what are yall doing? Where are yall native pro controllers?

    It's fine. Bought as a replacement for another Elite controller, which was also a replacement for an Elite controller. The previous two, the rubberized grips separated and the controller shell underneath broke apart. Both lasted about a year. If this one comes apart, I'll look at non-Microsoft brands.

    Elite For The Elitetest

    So for so good! For the most part I like the length of time between charges and the options to modify the various functions of the controller. It is a little heavier than the standard controllers that come with the game system, but once you play with the controller for a while you will get use to the weight. I know the price point is a bit much for some. While I read several reviews speaking as to some having problems with product quality I choose to purchase the maintenance package with this product. Considering how much it would cost to replace it for any reason. Will update this if things changes.

    Worth the upgrade

    I decided to upgrade my normal XBox controller to this, and it was definitely worth the money. First, it has a jack for any headset rather than just the funky XBox headset. Having the paddles on the back is still taking some getting used to, but it helps you keep both thumbs on the joysticks. Adjusting the trigger pull is something I never thought about, but it has improved my gameplay. Overall, it is much more expensive, but a major upgrade from the original XBox controller. The only downside is the lack of customization. Fortunately there are some wraps and cases you can get aftermarket to truly make this controller your own.

    I really like this controller, but feel it's way overpriced. You can really customize the buttons if you'd like which is great! It has a solid sturdy feel to it and is a little heavier than a normal controller. I hope it continues to work well.

    Improved on Series 1 in Every Way

    If you've used the Series 1 Elite Controller, you know all the benefits it has over the standard Xbox One controllers. The paddles will change the way you play shooters if you just take the little bit of time to get used to them. The Series 2 controller makes the paddles a bit more tactile and they have more of a click to them. The thumbsticks have 3 levels of tension adjustment to make them feel like a default Xbox One controller, an Xbox 360 controller, or something in between. The bumpers have been improved, and the new grips are built in a way to where they won't expand and fall off like the old version did. The Elite Series 1 controller was the best controller I ever used and my favorite to play with, but this controller has replaced the old version. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys playing competitive shooters and wants to take their game to the next level.

    I didn’t really believe this controller could be much better than the stock version that comes with the Xbox X, but I was very wrong. This thing is smoother, faster, more comfortable and fun. It is far more responsive especially in multiplayer games than the original controller. Worth the $$
