Q: QuestionDoes it come with the back buttons(15 answers)
A: AnswerPer the release announcement, it has the capability to use back paddles however the controller will not come with them. They will be sold separately or if you have accessories from the first Elite series two controller, you can use those accessories.Answered by Tony
- A: AnswerThe difference in price is because this is the core. Does not include the paddles and extra joy sticks. Also no case, it's just the controller and a charging cable. I upgraded to this one because my previous elite RB was going out and I didn't need all the extras so I just put them on the new one.

Q: QuestionIs Xbox insane with the price. I got a Xbox wireless controller for $50(7 answers)
A: AnswerYour new controller does not have paddle option for the backside. It is a completely different design.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionCan it be connected to a PC for gaming as well?(12 answers)
A: AnswerYes with Bluetooth or cableAnswered by SPADE
Q: QuestionWhat wireless adapter can I use if connecting to a steam link with USB 2.0?(1 answer)
A: AnswerNo so sure about steam link but these controllers can work wirelessly via bluetooth. If you do not have bluetooth on the device but do have usb 2.0 or 3.0 it can connect via cable or you can go wireless if you order an Xbox Wireless usb dongle online. The dongles work for both the classic original Xbox One controllers or these newer versions as well.Answered by GREATPSU

Great controller for the slightly more than casual
Disclaimer: I got this item on sale. I would never buy this full price, but that’s a matter of personal priorities. That being said, I love this controller! It’s weighted a good bit heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The textured, rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. If you are interested in the extra thumb sticks, paddles, and d pad they can be gotten on Amazon from 3rd party sellers for a lot less than Microsoft’s versions. You can map 3 different profiles for different games or play styles and change them easily with a switch on the controller. It anlso has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. Would recommend.
