    Amazing controller, it may be overpriced but it's amazing for competitive gaming. I got lucky because I bought it as Open Box, but it works perfect. Tip: if you get one open box try it with the Xbox Accessory app and see if there is any issue with it, if there is return it ASAP, if not enjoy cause it's amazing!

    The controller feels weighty and nice to hold in your hand while playing, and I really enjoy the modular nature of the controller. I took a star off be cause the controller is coated in a tacky substance so that it’s a little less slippery than a normal Xbox controller would be. I personally don’t love the feeling of it, and it has a bit of a weird smell to it.

    Buttons on the bottom is a game changer! Replaceable thumb still customizable settings. Worth purchasing mostly with the warranty!

    Controller is fantastic! After two years it has worked really well. Little stick drift in the right stick, but nothing that renders it unusable.

    Yup. It feels good to use it and the bottom triggers make a difference. I didn't notice much difference between the series 1 and series 2, so I don't know that it's worth paying to replace if you own one already.

    Amazing controller helps a lot since you don’t have to move your fingers off your joy stick to press a b x y or anything on your d pad your also able to program the back pedals to many controllers and the multiple different joysticks help with aim and other things

    Top Tier Gaming Controller, solid build. Does the job. They don’t make the regular ones like this anymore. Worth the extra bucks for a more solid build and accurate aiming.

    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    Customization at your fingertips, and a USB-C connect and charge port for connecting to PC without Bluetooth. Great for gaming on the Xbox or PC. The included charging station is substantial enough to survive my kids, and uses a magnet to keep the controlled fit snugly while charging.

    I was afraid to pay this much money for a controller even though I play my Xbox a lot, but this controller is pretty nice. I enjoy it and it’s worth the money.

    I think it’s a excellent controller , I’ve had 3 . I do play a lot . Especially FPS and for the most part these elite controllers give me a couple of years great use . It weighs about right and the customization options have been great. I know it’s costly but I really do feel like you get what you pay for . Microsoft also has a pretty good warranty with these controllers so I’m happy with my purchase

    We have purchased many of these controllers. My boys have used them for years and are generally pleased with them but the need to be replaced frequently due to “glitching”. The service plan you can but is too expensive to be worth it and we typically don’t have issues with it until after the 1 year mark. But they are pleased enough to buy them again.

    Solid controller.. everything felt high quality and a lot of ways to customize.. the only reason i returned it is because i want to try a controller with paddles beside each other versus on top of each other...

    Best Controller Ever

    I absolutely love playing with this controller. At first, I was hesitant because of the price but after a while I feel like the price is more than a bargain. I can use it for my Xbox, my computer and my cell phone. I can customize it for movies, individual games and streaming, soo much more. It's insanely customizable. The weight and durability are amazing. Gaming just isn't the same without it. By far one of my favorite purchases of all time. Don't even get me started on the battery life... It lasts for like 20 hrs, sometimes more.

    Its good, but the quality with the buttons are hit or miss. I believe there was a lawsuit against M$ over button issues.

    I picked up this elite controller after a flood of recommendations from so many sources. I thought it would allow for some macros and other useful things through the use of the paddles but that didn't pan out. I really want to love this thing but it's hard to. The default vibration sounds like it's trying to saw itself in half. But props to them for allowing you to turn that down in the accessories app. You can make some fine tuning to your dead zones and joystick curves there as well. If you drop this controller, you'll get to pretend it's a Mr. Potato head and go hunting for the joysticks and the D pad insert. The levers on the back, as cool as they look, are useless at best and intrusive at their worst. They'd be useful if you could use them to macro together a combination of key presses or if they were a unique button recognized by game developers. But the only control you have over these things is what button to you want it to mimic. Or, realistically, what buttons do you want to accidentally press all the time? The handle grips are great and the triggers are nice as well. I like that the controller came with both a charging dock and a usb-c port. Battery life is good so far. Having the option to pick thumb sticks is a cool feature and one of the few unique aspects I think is actually useful. Being able to pick what Dpad you like is neat, but in a perfect world unless you're playing retro titles or fighting games I think it's of limited use. Unless new functionality gets added for the elite, I personally don't think it's worth it's asking price. I wouldn't buy it again. The elite is no where near 3x as nice as a standard controller but it's certainly 3x the price. If these were half the price, they'd be great.
