    Def an upgrade from the standard controllers. Battery life is incredible and I love the extra inputs on the back. My original elite controller lasted almost 9 years, hopefully this investment lasts just as long.

    This is the best controller I’ve gotten in a while! I was hesitant to spend the money for a controller but it was definitely worth it as it is so easy to customize to the kind of player you are. The detachable thumb sticks and paddles are easy to customize for crouching quickly and moving fast in the COD game. The case is sturdy and charging is simple and fast. From what I can read you’ll also be able to use this controller for the upcoming Xbox system so worth the purchase!

    Best controller I’ve ever held. Size is perfect. Paddles are useful in every game. Only issue I have is sometimes clicking in on the thumb sticks causes the controller to shut off. Only way to reconnect is to put it on the charger, then take it off and reconnect. Sucks when it happens in multiplayer. To fix this I put melee on one of the paddles.

    Worth the price. Premium controller with back paddles. Comes with replacement parts (buttons, joy sticks, etc). Great for PC games too. Links with xbox on pc and steam very well. My only complaint is that mine didnt come with the replacement back paddles.

    Love the controller. Great holiday gift for someone this season. Has a great battery life. I probably need to charge it every week and a half or so. Feels very high quality. I dont want to go back to a reqular controller. Highly recommend

    Yes there are cheaper alternatives for the elite controller, but the quality of the build and how easy it is to use is perfect for someone who wants the buttons and not want to rage brake a controller.

    It’s all about the grips.

    After burning through three elite controllers in as many years thanks to their rubberized grips coming undone, I’m hopeful this new design holds. There is a seam on the inside now, but the stress bubble portion of the outer grips is now solid. I do like the feel of the new triggers better, but my previous ones never gave out so I can only say it’s a minor improvement. Loved my old elites, so if the grips hold up now, I’m sure to love these. So far, really like them.

    Love the Xbox controller and had to get an elite 2. Paddles are very customizable and it feels like what its worth. Only controller that can compete with the PS5 controller. Super comfortable. Only complaint is if your hands are cold or not sweaty it has a slippery grip. Aside from that, can't be beat. Def would get warranty cause there are lots of cases that have joy sticks drifting.

    Make sure you buy Best buy's $60 2-year warranty on this. You're going to be able to use it. I'm on my third one now. You have to buy a new warranty every time you trade it in for issues (stick drift on all of them. Right bumper stopped working on one of them. A button got so mushy you couldn't even feel when you were pressing it on two of them). But only having to pay the warranty cost after the initial purchase has been good. It's worth the $60/yr since I would have been wearing out a normal controller every year anyway. The Microsoft should really be ashamed of themselves for using plastic underneath of the joysticks on their elite controllers.

    Great controller! The added heft and the rubberized grips really make this a controller of choice for me. Lots of cool options like making the analog sticks tighter and hard to move. Only real issue I've had is battery life has been rather... short? Feels like I have to charge this quite often and I don't game for hours either.

    Absolutely one of the best controllers I've ever owned. The customizable paddles make for great gaming. And the fact i can set 3 different sets of settings means i don't have to keep changing it for different games.

    Good controller, expensive and with a flaw

    Overall the controller is quite good, albeit very expensive. The shorter paddles that require more pressure to activate is a huge much needed improvement. The 3 levels of trigger locks is nice as is the 3 different on controller profiles. As for the adjustments of the thumb stick stiffness, I don't think this is a feature most people will use and is more of a gimmick. The biggest issue for me is the grip material used on the controller. The grip material actually slippery. This is something that everyone complains about. I don't understand why Microsoft used a slipper material. If you can handle the slipperiness of the controller it is an excellent controller. For me the slippery grips is too much for a controller of this price and is why I will be returning the controller.

    I love how the controller feels but that's about it. Right out of the box the ABXY buttons will randomly double-input.

    I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres
