    Great for fast paced gaming/custom controls.

    I’ve had an elite controller in the past that had some issues (button sticking, mild stick drift even after adjustment). This one feels like they finally have it figured it out. I haven’t had any issues. I love being able to map buttons to the extra triggers and how responsive the controls are. Great for fast paced games (ARPGS, FPS, Battle Royales).

    Overall a great controller. Tons of customization in both hardware and software. Minus one star as the left stick has major drift issues. It's being taken care of Microsoft under warranty, but requires sending it out before a replacement is sent back.

    Love the controller, make sure you get the extended warranty. Eric drift and connectivity issues occur after the first year. This is now my fifth controller.

    Always the best controller on the market. Very hard to go back to a standard controller after using an elite. The weight and customization options make it stand out from other controllers.

    Personally, I prefer the Series 1, simply for reliability. The controller itself is high quality, fits well in the hands, and for PC gamers, the software is easy to use. I've owned two Series 2 controllers, and the first had stick drift after a couple months, and the most recent is having issues with a paddle functioning correctly. With warranty, it's a good call.

    Improvement over previous generation

    When compared to the previous generation, this is what you can expect: Better grip, more tactile response on the paddles, shorter paddles. Overall an improvement. Best part about these is that they are very durable, My last generation elite controller still works after 5 years of usage.

    I like the weight an the feel of it. The trigger adjustment is excellent. It's a little expensive for what it is. All these options shoul dbe on the controller that comes with the console. But it is nice to have. Worth it if you have the cash and want nice stuff.

    My controller feels solid and responsive. The buttons have a clean click and the sticks feel smooth. The grip is comfortable during long gaming sessions. I use it on Xbox and my Windows laptop without any issues. Setup was quick and Bluetooth connection stays stable. The blue color also looks sharp in person. I think it is worth the price and it improved my gameplay right away.
