    This is honestly the best controller I’ve ever had by far. The joysticks are replaceable and also have tension adjustments. 4 back buttons come in handy when you're trying to do some extra moves when gaming. The only issue I’ve had with 2 different controllers. The RB button seems to be giving out. And this is 2 different controller. I’ve owned this one less that three months and I can see the response missing sometimes. Reliability is important. I’m glad I got the replacement plan cause I’m going to trade this out soon

    Everything is is adjustable. Trigger throw, stick tension and height, and paddles if you want them. This controller has been the answer to every complaint I’ve ever had about controllers since thumbsticks were invented. Seriously though, the Elite Controller has been a welcome addition to my gaming rigs. Not only do I use it with my XBox One, but it connects instantly with my PC to play the games that are better played with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. As far as durability goes- that remains to be seen. No drifting issues yet…

    I love the controller my only complaint is the fact that the grip rubber comes off over time. A 200 dollar controller shouldn’t have that issue. It’s not just one it is a repeat issue on everyone I know who owns them.

    The best Xbox controller on the market!

    By far the best Xbox controller I have ever used. I've been through every controller that Xbox has put out and this one is superb in every way. The buttons are all mapable and the sensitivity of the triggers and buttons are all adjustable. The paddles are there also for those who prefer them, but in my configuration I just don't use them. The feel of this controller is hefty, durable and worth the cost. The case has a charging stand built in which is very nice, but make sure you have a USB-C cable to plug into it. The best thing about this controller is that every part about it just makes sense. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is a serious gamer. You won't be disappointed.

    Not quite the revolution in controller design you're hoping for. But you can assign Keyboard keys to the buttons too, for those games that allow M+K and Controller play at the same time. I don't regret my purchase yet. Being able to reload or use a melee with the back buttons, in certain games is pretty awesome.

    After months and months of hearing about it from my friend I finally gave it a try and I must say this it is really really great controller. I play a lot with this now on my PC. The build quality is truly top notch.

    Purchased via "Open Box Excellent". Very pleased with the controller, and definitely a step up from the regular xbox controller that came with the Series X. the grip and feel of this controller is good, but not on the same level as the PS5 Dualsense IMO but still nice nonetheless The weight is fantastic, although definitely heavier than a normal xbox controller. The thumbsticks take a little getting used to, but once you adjust the tension to your preference they are great. Would also recommend replacing the paddles with SCUF paddles for additional comfort and easier access/playability

    When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

    Good, but expect stick drift

    Replaced multiple of these controllers that all exhibited some level of stick drift brand new from the factory. Microsoft elite controllers are known to have looser manufacturing tolerances versus their standard controllers. You can find many examples online of people saying their controller exhibited the same behavior. If the stick drift doesn’t bother you, it is otherwise a great controller.

    Its a very good controller, i like the trigger function and the interchangeable thumb sticks and d-pad. even the pack pedals are amazing and helps me play better without having to move my fingers. i would recommend but take care of it because the switch cover on the back broke off but it still works fine. Also its easy to lose pieces as they can fall off pretty easily.

    Best controller to game with hands down

    This is by far the best controller I’ve ever owned.(yes including the PS5 dual sense) Only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is I’ve had multiple elite series controllers in the past, and there are always issues that eventually occur. Shouldn’t happen so frequently with hardware that costs this much, but it always seems to unfortunately. That being said, I absolutely love gaming with the elite series 2. It’s extremely useful, and now that I’m accustomed to it, I can’t go back to a standard Xbox controller.

    Sometimes I want a weightier, firmer controller. And this thing does the trick. It responds and holds up well when tightly gripping and quickly pressing many inputs in a short period of time. Totally awesome purchase!

    Theres alot of negative stigma around this controller. But out of the box, absolutely no issues. Its the Cadillac of controllers. Its feels great, the sticks snap right back to the middle and best of all no stick drift. I definitely recommend the geek squad coverage because if something does go wrong in the next two tears, they can replace it with a new one. No regrats. And use the case to keep it clean, that the biggest maker of stick drift.

    The best controller a gamer can buy. Once you get used to it and figure out good button mapping ( I recommend A,B,X,Y, your thumb never leaves the joystick so you can easily multitask) you will never want to use a normal controller again

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    The greatest controller i've ever used, but it's not very durable. I've replaced it twice now, first because the right bumper failed, then because the grip started to become unglued after many hours of use and changed the shape of the controller. If you're going to buy this get the protection and replace it when, not if, it fails.
