    This has been the best controller i have ever purchased. I have two not because the other broke but coz i needed one more for my kid also. The controller is very solid. My first one is 4 years old and still workin without any issues. I know my kid will enjoy his own controller too.

    The Elite controller was just as good for sensitivity and control. The handles wore and started to separate from the rubber, so I needed a new controller. I'm not sure what was expected of this new controller, but it does pretty much the same. I do like the idea that it will be compatible with the new Xbox coming in Nov/Dec 2020. The one new feature that is great (so far) is the rechargeable batteries. I would use rechargeables in my old controller, but would have to keep swapping them out. With these, I just use the USB cord which I like a little more.

    Amazing controller !!! I have been playing Video games for serval years now and have gone through a lot of controllers. The Xbox elite controller has been by far the best. Longevity and ability to program your controller to fit your gaming style is 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.

    This controller serves me well for gaming sessions. I’ve never had any issues with battery life, and the hand feel is second to none. My only complaint is that paddles and other thumb sticks are sold separately, but other than that this controller hits above its price point.

    The grip makes it easier to hold for me. I have physical challenges that can make holding a controller difficult. The textured grips really help. The mappable back buttons make all the difference. My hands are small, so it can be hard to move all around the controller. The back buttons help me manage longer play-time.

    Excellent quality was looking for good grip, very pleased. Little heavier than my other controllers but not uncomfortable. Would highly recommend.

    I do love these controllers even if theyre sold at a lessened price for not having the extra accessories. They work really well with comfort grips and access to many functions despite not being sold with the aforementioned accessories. I do hope this one lasts because elite controllers are infamous for not having a long shelf life.

    Feels very solid. I've only used it for about an hour but the quality seems really good. Everything about it just feels like higher quality than the regular controller.

    Nice solid controller like msot of the elite series has been. Gotta be super careful never to get a drop of water on it or itll be done for. The texture on the grip isnt my favorite in the least. Used this for a couple years, but glad i got the Envsion Pro for my PC.

    I've bought probably 6 of these things over the years. Some came immediately with stick drift that no amount of deadzone tweaking could fix or adjustment of the tension. If I didnt have the best buy total member subscription, i would have bought a scuff. Yet spending $50 every year or so to replace it has been working.

    Very nice controller i like how it comes with different lengths of analog sticks i got mine set up with the long analog sticks which is great for sniping, the paddles on the back are good because you can set whatever paddle to whatever button so you can multi task press that without moving your fingers away from the analog sticks ot trigers comes on a nice carry case with a charger mount built into it
