Over a year of use, and still loving it.. no stick drift either!

Easily the best controller for more competitive gamers. I purchased the Scuf before this, and was quite disappointed after the left joystick started sticking (not drift, just stuck in the down position) within 3 months of purchase. It was also a bit of a pain (and limited) to program the pads. Then I purchased the Elite S2, and what a difference it made. The magnetic, interchangeable joysticks are a breeze to swap (have to take the whole faceplate off the Scuf). The rear pads are programmable through the Xbox UI, offer more combinations to progrsm, and can save up to three independent configurations for different games or styles (a button on the controller lets you flip between the three without having to go through the UI). And the trigger adjustments are quick and easy to adjust on the fly. My only issue with this controller is stick drift, hence the markdown. While it did hold up well for 10-11 months, I had to send it in to Microsoft for a replacement at the 11th month (Best Buy didn't have any at the time). I did get a replacement after a little over a week, but it was equally bad, if not worse within two weeks. Fortunately, Best Buy had a resupply and I was able to get a new one. A near $200 controller should not fail like that in less than a year. I get that nothing lasts forever, but the gimbles should be better quality for a premium controller. That said, the S2 is worth the purchase if you are into more competitive gaming, however, buy the extended warranty. Will definitely be worth it in the long run.

Bought this as a replacement controller, no issues yet! Satisfied with my purchase!

This controller is better than PS5 controller. The material is great. Plus i like the adjustable it can be.

Works as intended. Easy to connect to the Xbox. Comfortable.

I've really been enjoying this controller. The rechargeable battery was something I'm glad this came with. I like the old 360 thumb sticks which this comes with an assortment of different ones. The D-pad pictured in the advertisement is nice for fighting games but you can switch that out too. The only real issue I've had is with the paddles on the bottom. You'll need to train your muscle memory to accept them. Overall, they are the better way to play. Do yourself a favor and disable the x y a b buttons in the menus on the XBox/PC. The controller is heavy compared to the standard ones. It's solid and the grip is awesome. You'll need to relinquish that death grip most people play with in order to get accustomed to the paddles. Another thing is that the paddles are great for reassigning buttons like the Thumbstick - To - Run assignment most Call of Duty games have. Sea of Thieves does this. Again it's relearning how to walk, run, and jump. When you finally get it, your K/D ratio will increase dramatically, ie you are no longer taking your thumbs off the movement sticks to hit buttons. Some of the more advanced features are not explained like cording several buttons together for special commands.

I now understand why this controller is expensive...its freaking nice

Awesome controller and love the color of the remote control.

Bought this as a replacement for my old Elite that went out. Haven't had any troubles out of it outside of a little stick drift, but that's expected.

I love this controller it’s a little pricey but the quality and range is amazing.The customization is amazing too how you can get more thumbsticks for it and the D- pad I really like this controller and the white doesn’t get scuffed at all it’s really durable.

really quality controller - love the grips on the handle and the swappable pieces are so easy to switch. also love the internal battery rather than having to switch batteries out. You really feel the step up in quality from the base model to this one.

Love the controller its an upgrade from my old one.

Great controller I love it. I use it for my PC and my Xbox

Let's break this down into a few categories. Build- The build, fit and finish of this controller are top-notch. Each button feels refined, deliberate, and solid. From the bottom triggers to the adjustable shoulder triggers, they are built with purpose and intent. Feel/ Comfort- The controller is ever so slightly smaller than the OG controllers of the X|S line but that's perfectly fine. The grip is comfortable with forgiveness and provides the right amount of grip and texture. Battery- With an integrated battery that should last a day's worth of play, it's simple enough to dock the controller to charge it for the next session. Feedback/Vibration- This is where it gets a bit silly. The primary grip motors are intense and solid, however, the shoulder ones sound like they are loose and weak. Could ba a design, but, for a controller of this caliber I would expect otherwise. The BAD- Ok, so let's get to the elephant in the room. Stick Drift. Is it still a thing, and in short, yes. It took me, 4 controllers, to fine on with thumbsticks thight enough and without slop. While tightening the tension does help, it should be used as a primary source to undo shotty sticks. Why is this worth it! First, let's talk about customization. I know while many of us who play would say "I don't really care about the customization" Trust me, you will once you get tuning and customizing. From the trigger that can easily be removed and mappable, to the sensitivity and responsiveness of the thumbsticks. Moreover, the sensitivity adjustment of the triggers are mechanical as well to shorten the throw. Would I recommend this controller---With its minor shortcomings, still a SOLID YES if you have the coin to toss around.

Excellent controller compared to the one that comes with the XBOX. I’m not a hardcore gamer and probably won’t use it to its full capabilities, but the way it feels in your hand due to the weight and the smoothness of the controls; makes it a great purchase.

slightly heavy , but great controller would recommend getting warranty they break very easily

This is my second Xbox Ellite. Worth every penny. I would recommend getting the full kit with the charging dock, paddles, and case if you don't already have them though. This only come with the controller, one set of thumb sticks, and a charging cable.

Great add on for XboxX accessory. Love the color and speed.

Great controller. Got it for an excellent price. Bought the back paddle buttons super cheap separately.

My son loves this controller, he was excited to get it and i caught it on sale
