upgrade your controller to the elite controller..it makes the world of difference.

Is it still worth it if you don't play FPS games and/or have no interest in the paddles?

Thank you, appreciate the insight

I signed up to answer this.

If you have the xbox series x(499.00)(60bucks for xbox live for 1 yr)

Buy if u can

...Elite controller
...A40 tournament ready headset
...Gaming table
...24 or 27 asus 1ms monitor
...Gaming chair(like an office chair)
...black ops cold war game
...4 chargeable batteries and battery charger

Above can be around 800 total. A Best Buy credit card is your friend lol...they give you 24 months of no interest, just pay on the balance every month. It's like a 24 month layaway but you got the merchandise.

Make friends online with people. Once your at this point. Many here game on call of duty and if you tell us your gamertag ,we will friend you for some games brother.

the issues are coming, just wait. my first S1 controller started developing stick drift about a year in. 2nd and 3rd i returned because the paddles weren't molded right and they didnt have a tactile click. 4th is the one that just developed the D pad issue.

Series 2 is the real pos though. your son will be facing the ghost A button, broken paddles, stick drift, or whatever else soon. glad you got the warranty because you will be using it. appallingly bad QC and construction

it'd be one thing if the controller was more reasonably priced, but if I'm paying almost 40% the price of a console for a fricking controller, it better work for YEARS and not have to be warranty exchanged multiple times


so many "get the warranty" comments

Buy the game and do the "campaign"...its alot of fun, also you can play any game mode on "easy" and go against bots and get a ton of practice...once u get used to it ,raise the level of difficulty. The key will be to be able to control your character, wak,run, crouch, aim and shoot etc...practice

I'm getting an 8TB external drive when I get a series x. I have a 4 TB for my Xbox One and it isn almost full.

To anyone getting a Series X: Get Game Pass. It's all you need.

I download all of the Games with Gold games because they may be delisted from the store at some point.

and the roughly 60 hours of battery life with a USB-C charging port is extremely convienient.

I've had an elite for about a year and a half and it's never even come close to dying. It comes with a little charging dock, so as soon as I'm done playing for the night, I just set it on there and it charges.

Far and away the best controller I've ever used. Across all consoles. Love the paddles for FPS and even a game like rocket league. I think you would still be happy with it even if I didn't use the paddles. like the guy above said, it just feels so much better and the interchangeable joysticks and trigger sensitivity is great.

I got mine for $100, but if it dies I’m paying full price for another if I have to. It’s a bit of a game changer for FPS games.

Scuf has paddles too, but I’m not sure if you can remap the paddles like you can with the elite. You can have 3 different paddle profiles on the elite where the paddles can do different commands depending on the game.
