    Great Controller for PC Gaming

    Was using a PS4 controller wired to laptop. Found this “PRO” controller and knew I needed to give it a try. Hated the wire and wanted back buttons. This is a excellent controller which feels and looks great. User configurability is great. The buttons and sticks that can be changed out are super easy to do. Battery life is outstanding. I use it mainly for travel and the protective case isn’t overly huge. Only had it for a short period so can’t comment on longevity and problems others have had with buttons and sticks going bad. Can’t say one bad thing so far about this controller. I price matched and paid $139.99. Standard Microsoft warranty now 1 year suggest paying an extra $20 by calling Microsoft Xbox tech support to extend warranty for a total of 3 years. I believe you have 45 days or so after purchase to add this extended coverage. Also recommend using the Microsoft wireless adapter ($25 extra) instead of the Bluetooth connection. Heard you can have connection issues using standard Bluetooth. All in all great controller upgrade and at the moment would recommend.

    Simplicity is one of the keys. I had two other brands over the last decade and a half. This one isn’t as tiresome to use. It’s also VERY responsive. A great choice.

    You just have to get this. Grips are good and help for long-term play with feel and sweaty hands. Triggers add to your options and how you play with three selectable configurations (+default) that you can customize via the Xbox accessories (computer) app. Just the fact that you can customize how all the buttons are configured for multiple setups makes this worth the money. I originally got this thinking that I needed it for teh directional pad that can be replaced with the concave pad (which is more comfortable). I was surprised to discover myself playing with the left directional stick that I had caused me to get the Elite2 -- the new adjustability allowed me to set it up the tension the way I wanted for games. Even SFV use felt good and more predictable that I could honestly play that as well as the concave directional. I think if the retail was $149 instead of $199 (or $179 on sale) this would probably be more palatable though.

    This is a really nice controller. I love the dark paddles, d-pad, and triggers. All buttons feel nice and the home button is “clicky”. It has a good weight to it and comes with a braided cable and cloth carrying case. The charging base that’s included isn’t quite heavy enough, so picking up the controller while it’s on the stand occasionally results in the base hanging onto the controller. But since the charger fits into the bottom of the fabric case that’s included, I plan to charge it inside the case instead of on a table. It has a nifty little opening in the back for the USB-C cable to pass through. I was a little bummed to see that only one convex (domed) joystick was included in the extras. I don’t like the look of the controller with two different joysticks and prefer domed joysticks over the standard Xbox ones. Not a big deal, but I am already searching for a second one. As a new owner of both this and the original elite controller, I highly recommend both. Once you feel the smooth joystick movement of the the elite controller, you won’t go back to playing with the standard ones. I waited too long to purchase my last one.

    Bought this for myself as a bit of a splurge. After getting some paddles for it, I can’t go back to a normal controller - it’s that good. This is truly one of those moments where better hardware makes you a better gamer (I mostly play shooters and my stats went up a significant amount after getting this). The grips on it (the black part) are a nice rubber textured bit that is not at all uncomfortable. You may get sweaty hands after a while, but that happens whether you play on any controller or a mouse and keyboard. Stick tension I havent really messed with (i like the sticks loose). Keep in mind too that the sticks are very sensitive out of the box, so maybe adjust that in the accessories software on your xbox. Great product, love it tons.

    The paddles are great but the Y button feels a bit unresponsive. Other than that it's feature rich. I also owned a elite 2 before so I had all the accessories.

    The color is very vibrant, which, in my opinion, when purchasing a colored item such as a gaming controller, that is something we all fear will be an issue. My husband loves how great the quality of not only the color but the controller itself is. The joy sticks move smoothly creating for a nice time of video game playing. He loves that he can change out the sticks and other items to benefit his game play as well as to change up the colors if wanted. Not to mention that the accessories are magnetic making changing easier. This item works great for his XBOX and his PC use. We highly recommend.

    Decided to purchase this a Couple weeks ago , I wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth it or not so I was nervous to spend the money at first but I am so glad that I did! Controller feels amazing in your hands, the customization options on it are basically unlimited not only does it come with the interchangeable thumb sticks and paddles and the hair lock triggers you can fine tune Each individual button on the controller through the Xbox Accessories app so you can make any button do whatever you want , if you want to be able to make the A button do B button functions on a game then you can do it , its almost overwhelming how many things you can customize on the app to make the controller completely compliment your playing style. The controller comes with a really nice case. It comes with a usbc charging cord so you can charge it by plugging it into your Xbox or pc or you can use a wall adapter to plug the usbc into. On top of that it comes with a charging dock that the controller magnetically connects to and they even put a little rubber flat on the back of the case for the usbc cord to plug into the charging dock so you can charger the controller while you have it inside the case. I mainly play first person shooters online and being able to customize the controller how I want has made a huge difference in my gameplay and if you’re on the fence about buying this control then do it!
