Over priced under expectations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller is very comfortable. When playing the controller somehow would select As i pressed the Y button and changing the screen view. I have been playing this same game for years with "regular" MS controller no problems. Configured the button not to be used. This was a mistake when it changed my view i could not change it back! Although very comfortable and seemingly well built will be returning the controller. Thank you for the Best buy total membership for extended returns. Very over priced for what you get. At least in my opinion.

Exceptional
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The feel and battery life of this controller are fantastic. I have to charge it about every other month. Just hate that to avoid disposable batteries, this or buying a rechargeable battery pack in 2024 is the way to do so. Other than that, I don’t regret this product at all.

So far so good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Ive mixed reviews about this item but decide to take the plunge (and getting the warranty just in case). It's been working great to far. It doesn't have the same issue that the OEM rechargable battery has. I haven't ran out of juice on this controller even after multiple days of usage with charging it. The build feels nice. I like a heavier controller, and the triggers and definitely nice to have. Is it life changing? No. Is it a gimmick? Also no. It's just a fancier controller with a. Few added features which are nice to have. Hopefully MSFT has had the time to fix the kinks.

Best gaming controller ever!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was initially hesitant to purchase because of cost. Price is only downside but if you want the best this is it. Could never go back to standard controller after using this, everything else feels like a toy.

Elite controllers are terrible and unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned three elite controllers since they came out. I have owned two series 1’s. A first gen and another about a year later (hoping the bugs were worked out). The first had the button sticking issue they were all plagued with. The other had trigger issues sticking/not responding as well as the menu buttons not responding. Both of these were returned. Now I own one of the series 2’s and they’re just as bad. I bought one and immediately had to return it. It had some sticky black rubber stuck on the right stick that locked the stick up. The one I have now works but it is not worth the price. Absolute waste of money and I will not be buying another. The controller that comes with the console lasted longer.
