    Controller feels good in your hands. Everything feels solid on this one and the magnetic interchangeable thumb sticks and makes this controller awesome for games like COD or Destiny!

    I owned 3 Series 1 Elite Controllers. Those 3 were fine. I had no problem with them. This version is a slight upgrade to the Series 1. I enjoy the customization of changing out the paddles and D pad. I would recommend this controller to the hardcore gamer only.

    Let me start out saying I play Xbox at least 3 hours a day. I am 48 years old and have played on pretty much every system over that timeframe. This controller is the best one I have ever used. However, it isn't perfect. The first one I got right after they came out had an issue where one of the triggers sticking a few months later. I swapped it out using the Geek Squad warranty for a new one. Purchased another warranty, and this one started having movement continue after releasing the right stick, after about a year of constant use. Makes it challenging to play certain games, so I will be swapping it out again and getting another. Buy the Geek Squad coverage. Totally worth it!

    It is a great heavy controller,but it a shame that this controller with the high price tag has issues and I needed to get the extended warranty Mine had issues with left stick wandering and right bumper reacting slowly. I like the built in battery though. So I had to go to Best Buy (I did set an appointment) with the Rep on phone said controller was in stock.of course no controller In stock.best buy was going to give me store credit,but finally said they can order me another one( I had to rebuy the warranty again) Prior to this I called Microsoft and their warranty on this controller is only 90 days so extended warranty did help from Best Buy

    Exactly as advertised, a very versatile controller for XBox One with swappable joysticks and D-pad along with paddles and hair triggers on the back. Excellent battery life as well and comes with a great case to store the extra swappable parts, paddles, and charging station.

    Bought two. One for me, me for my son. To me, it’s just a well built controller. To my son, this thing is a gift from the heavens. Like I said, well built, heavy, interchangeable doo-dads, cool charging case, pretty neat. Get one.
