    Great product, quality feel and brings a better gaming experience to the Xbox platform. Purchase this as a gift and can tell you the person who has used it for the last month won’t touch a regular Xbox One controller now lol. This controller has allowed for them to make the needed adjustments to in game play as well as being able to charge the controller (no more battery replacements) and this means no longer using third battery chargers, battery packs and worrying about why they only have 3 - 6 month warranties. This product is genuine Microsoft and is the quality you would expect.

    This is my second one. The first was great for about 9 months but then I developed stick drift even though I keep it in the case and my hands are always clean. The reason I bought another is because I tried to use a stock controller but I'm used to the elite. No other controller feels as solid or as high quality as this one. I've tried the Scuf and if you hold this one, you can feel the difference. I'll not go to another brand for as long as I play

    only reason is not 5 stars is the grip started to fall off 6months after purchasing. For the price i dont find this acceptable, but the upgrades this has over the first gen version it is much better over all and i daily drive this still to the day.

    Overall, its a great controller but it’s pricey. I love the customization options and the battery life, and I don’t regret the purchase at all. It’s probably closer to worth the 139.99 price I’m seeing it discounted to now If you’re strapped for cash, theres nothing wrong with the regular Xbox controller. If you can afford it but are unsure, it might be worth considering the cost of a battery or two for the regular, and figure out how much all the other extras are worth to you.

    The previous gen was great and had clearly defined audio for all scenarios. The mic was a little lacking when compared to other headsets. Come gen 2 and they take the formula and tweak it just enough to give you the great audio with a great mic. Do keep in mind that it does have a removable foam filter on it in case that bothers you.

    This should have been a day 1 purchase, even before any games had been installed on the Xbox series x. It feels infinitely better than the lame controller that comes packaged with the console.

    pros v cons

    Pros - it is a great feeling controller with a lot of options. It takes a little getting use to the paddles underneath, but once you do you will not want to go back. Cons - it seems to not be as quick to respond as it states. I play a lot of CoD and it seems to have a slightly slower response time than a $180 controller should have. Overall - I like it. I wish it were a bit less expensive, but it is a nice controller.

    We got our first one towards the end of last year to replace a failing Elite 1 controller. Unfortunately, the controller we got had the oft reported button problems. Upon return, it took almost a week to get the replacement. This one did work correctly. From a gameplay perspective, though, it is an excellent controller. Its programability is good. The paddles are a huge improvement over the original Elite. It feels better in the hand, as well. One big plus is that the hand grips are still solidly attached after almost a quarter of a year. On both prior Elites, they had started to peel off by this time. That is a great step forward. This is the best of the wireless controllers available. If you get it, though, I would STRONGLY recommend getting the Geek Squad extended warranty. For most purchases I would never get it. For the Elite controller, I promise you, you will need it eventually. At the very least, you will want to trade it in for a new one before the warranty expires. Then spend the few bucks for a warranty on the replacement. Just be warned, the price for that warranty has gone up a bit. That tells you something about the quality issues. Nevertheless, once you do get a good controller you will be quite happy with it. If you can use a wired controller, you might want to look at the Razer. If you need wireless, this is probably the best option. (I personally am not that fond of Scuff.)

    Great Product. Don’t have to continually buy a new controller because of the analogs. All pieces of controller can be switched out. Definitely worth the money

    I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

    - Great customization for a personalized easier experience - Very durable inputs but edges of rubber tend to unglue. - Thumb stick grooves go away slowly - Glues for grips way better the Elite 1 (I Play a lot)

    This is by far the best xbox controller. Best feel in the hands, love the paddles, long battery life, and charging case. Downside is that theyre known to have problems a year or so down the road. Not a problem with my Total Tech subscription. You get a free two year protection plan. So I’ll get a new one if this one if starts giving me problems. In the meantime, best controller by far I’ve played with.

    It's a fantastic upgrade and is worth every penny. I was in the crowd of those who would never pay extra for a controller until the one that came with my Xbox got the dreaded joy-con drift. So I picked this up for myself, and trust me, I'll never use a different controller for Xbox or PC.

    I tried other pro style controllers and while there are in fact better budget options, if you want something that feels solid and eloquent instead of the feel of a toy, do yourself a favor and save time and heartache by getting this. Here are the things that separate this controller besides materials: - Adjustable tension analog sticks - Shift key programming function (effectively double your amount of buttons) - true bluetooth - guaranteed to work with next gen console - pc and android phone usage (project xcloud) - case is the charger - can setup multiple button profiles to quick change between
