    Hands down the best controller you could buy for the Xbox One X. Button customization is perfect whether it is a racing, fighting, first and third person games.

    This controller is perfectly made for use. The texture of the control is very soft to the touch and all of the controller buttons are nice and quiet. I love it!

    I bought this wireless controller for my fiancé for his birthday and he loves it ! And I myself love it. Except don't leave the little pieces to the little ones. They easily get lost.

    The paddles on the back are just too easy to press. Makes it very easy to accidentally hit them. The domed thumb sticks are pretty hard and don't have much grip to them. I would recommend a Scuf controller over the elite controller.

    I'm not a gamer, but my fiancé is. I bought this for him as a Valentine's present. He loves it. He was able to adjust controls and he said he's noticed a huge difference in his gaming.

    Love the elite controller. Purchased the Xbox rechargeable battery to go with it. I like the way you can set up and store settings for different games with flip of the switch.

    I game a lot so this is ok with shooter games but not all great. Trigger sensitivity is good. Movement sensitivity is fast as well.

    Controller feels really nice and haven’t had a problem with it yet. I don’t really use the paddles because I don’t play games that paddles are crucial but the adjustments of analog stick sensitivity is crucial in my case.

    I love this controller. The quick triggers are the best. Don't forget to get the warranty. They have a habit of home button failure so the only way to turn it on is to plug it in.

    Great controller, feels great. Seems to last a year so get the replacement plan. Had a joystick fail and a trigger go limp. But the ability to have the hair trigger and the underside paddle controls are great.

    I loved this controller. I was coming from a scuff controller so it was a learning curve for the back buttons being in a different location and being a lot more sensitive. After a year of use the sticks would start to drift. I bought the warranty through Best Buy. I tried to exchange controller out but they were always out of stock. I got my money back. I’m back to the scuff controller now. When the elite 2 get the bugs fixed I’ll probably will get it.

    great controller, hopefully they fixed the rubber issue, so I would recommend getting the extended warranty. but otherwise the customer setting etc are very nice!
