    • High quality controller
I got this for playing games on Steam (pc). I am an avid gamer and have used many different controllers from GameCube to Xbox. My prior controller that I was using was an Xbox Scuff controller. It had worn down after 100+ hours of use: the RB and several paddles had broken. I got this new controller as a replacement. It has several key qualities that I like: 1.) The shaft of the sticks are metal. My prior controller used plastic for the shafts and they would slowly shred from use and leave dust behind. This created an issue where the dust would get into the controller and cause drift. (All controllers have stick drift. It’s where your controller will move your character onscreen without you doing anything. Games incorporate dead zones where the stick inputs are not read. Overtime, controllers get worse and worse drift that go above the dead zone thresholds causing drift.) I have not had any issues with drift on the new controller. 2.) Metal Paddles. These are levers under the controller that allow you to hit your A, B, X, etc… buttons so that you don’t need to move your fingers off of the sticks. Paddles are not included, but you can buy them separately. I highly recommend getting paddles. They make a big difference. My prior controller used plastic paddles that all eventually broke. These paddles are metal and won’t break. They are easy to put on and off. They are placed better for your fingers too. 3.) Adjustable hair triggers. Your RT and LT buttons can be adjusted so that you don’t go all the way down. This is helpful if you only need them to act as “buttons” rather than “triggers” and don’t need the full press down. I personally don’t restrict my triggers, but if you like to then that function exists here. On the back of the controller you can slide a button into 3 different positions to have them be unrestricted, partially restricted, and almost fully restricted. 4.) Braided type C cord. The controller is wireless, but you can use the cord it comes with to have a wired connection to your computer through any USB port. The braided cord feels high quality and is much better that the plastic incased cords. My prior controller used a micro USB connection on the controller which was a crappy connection that would disconnect all the time. The Type C connection is stable and never disconnects while I’m playing. 5.) Satellite D-pad. It looks a little silly but I like the feel of this d-pad better that the “plus” d-pad. Easy to rotate around all of the directions. Here are some of the cons so far: 1.) I got the blue one. The letters inside the A, B, X, Y buttons are blue. So it’s hard to read what button is which. I can see this being annoying for new players. This only bothers me when I go from using a Nintendo Pro controller to this one because they reverse the X and Y (also A and B). I always get them mixed up and I’ll look down at this controller looking for the X button, but it’s hard to see. 2.) Changing the buttons the paddles are linked to is more difficult on this controller than the Scuff controller. The Scuff controller had a much better solution. This one needs a separate app to do it. 3.) The face plate is more difficult to remove. Another minor gripe. Scuff does this better too where you can remove the face plate easily as it is held on with magnets. You probably will never need to do this, but it does help if you need to replace buttons or clean the inside. Overall, I would recommend this controller to a gamer who is looking for a step up from the basic Xbox controller. Definitely geared for a more competitive player. If you are a casual player, then you would be better off with a cheaper controller. Compared to the Scuff controller, I think this one is better overall. From a price standpoint, it is also better. ... show more

    • Comes with everything and very high quality!

This is my favorite controller of all time. You can adjust the bumpers to decide how much you want to press in on them to register. Plus you can adjust the sensitivities of the thumb sticks. There are three settings for each going for least to most sensitive. The thumb sticks and D-pad are interchangeable with magnetic bits. Plus you can add the back bumpers in. The controller is easy to grip and has some rubber on the sides that help if your hands sweat and it won’t fall out of your hands easily. I use this with my Steam Deck and it’s awesome. I was looking for the standard version as I heard the Core version is cheaper but only comes with the controller. After looking at reviews- it looks like despite this product being labeled as “core” on amazon- it still (at least in the case of the black controller) comes with the case and paddles and everything else. The case is super high quality too. Pretty sure I could launch it off a cliff and it would do an excellent job protecting the controller inside. The case can also act as a charging dock. I couldn’t go back to another controller even if I tried. You can tell just how high quality it is and being able to adjust everything is such a great perk I didn’t realize I’d love. ... show more

    • Way better worth the money

Review Image by Justin D Hitchcock Justin D Hitchcock
The media could not be loaded. I bought a standard basic controller for Xbox from the custom laboratory. It was just basic custom. It wasn’t a fancy picture. It was just a red custom, soft touch plastic elite two controller but the right joystick didn’t press end and click. It was broken. I was a little bummed out because The controller is so nice. I had to be without it for a couple days till they sent me another one now that I’m using it. I really love it. I would never go back to a basic controller. It is light years better you wouldn’t think it by opening the package but when you actually start to play, you’re gonna notice the difference And I’m happy I stuck with Xbox in Microsoft because I can use the keypad on the controller on the set up, so I like it ... show more

    • The Controller of controllers..
Color: Black
I've been a gamer my whole life. Started on The Original Nintendo and have played on virtually (pun intended) every subsequent system. Bought the first XBOX on November 21st, 2001. I've owned every XBOX console and have played on every style of controllerthey've made since their inception. I say all of that to illustrate my familiarity with the subject at hand. The first generation XBOX Elite Controller made an epic milestone when it came to comfort, functionally,b and longevity. That being the case, I was a little skeptical when the time came to FINALLY upgrade my controller setup. While almost ALL of the functions and features of the Elite Series 2 are a tremendous upgrade, what gave me pause was the new fact that I could not hot-swap batteries once the time came for some juice. I'm not a huge fan of having to play with a plug-in wired controller due to how animated I am when I play (the jerking and pulling on the cable has ruined USB-C ports in the past). With the pros greatly outweighing the cons, however, I made the purchase and I am beyond relieved that I did!! Complete trigger and button customization aside, the battery issue I believed would be a problem, so far, has proven to be a non-issue and a pleasant surprise. Each charge has lasted multiple and consecutive "hours long" gaming sessions, the buttons, triggers and sticks are snappy and responsive, the vibrations are strong, and the grip and feel has proven to be comfortable even after extensive use. If you own an XBOX and you are wanting to step your literal and figurative game up... this is The Controller for you!! I will return in time to give an update on the battery life, you can be sore. ... show more
