    Great Controller! But worth the price tag...?

    I got this as a Christmas gift and have really enjoyed it thus far. I really love the feel and grip of this controller, along with the customization that comes with the interchangeable pieces (which require no tools/all magnetic). As a more “casual” gamer, while I really do enjoy it, I’m not certain I’d say personally that it’s worth near $200 and not certain I’d buy it on my own had I not recorded it as a gift. For more hard core games, maybe, but if you’re a more casual gamer, I don’t know if there’s just that much more value in this over a standard, far less expensive XBox controller. But if you’re getting as a gift (for free) or just got the money to burn, it’s definitely a great controller.

    GREAT when it works properly! Unfortunately I’ve only had the controller less than 6 months and the Right Bumper and “A” Button are almost unresponsive. As well as developing stick drift in the left Analog Stick already. Warranty is absolutely necessary for any Elite controller.

    Solid feel, rechargable, pretentiously expensive

    Feels like about 100 dollars worth of controller for the low low price of 200 dollars. Honestly it has some neat features, the typical things found on previous iterations of elite and scuf controllers but with added things like 3 quick change profiles, adjustable stick tension and a very long lasting recharablge battery pack that recharges when placed back inside its case. I'll be eager to see if my favorite microsoft controller feature will make a triumphant return on the elite version 2....stick drift, it's been missing so far, but its not outside its factory warranty period...so there's still time.

    IMHO the price point on this controller is a real blocker. I would have tried one years ago at $100, maybe even $130, but near $200 for a controller is a lot to ask. That being said, thanks to not going out for a year I've saved enough money to justify this kind of opulence and I'm glad I went for it. It comes with a charging dock you can rest it on which is nice. I'm mainly a single player gamer so having 1 controller constantly charged is a big deal. I dropped the flippers on the back and swapped out joysticks. The directional pad is an improvement (and you can swap it out too if you disagree). You don't need this controller, but if you're interested and have money to burn you have my blessing.

    Love this controller. I had one previously but lost it so I went back to basic controllers for a while but had to purchase another Elite controller. Almost a must have in my opinion for any xbox/pc gamers who enjoy handheld.

    Been an xbox gamer since the very beginning. This is the absolute best controller I've ever used. The ability to customize the pull on the triggers was huge. I like them on the midpoint setting so if you're playing FPS it takes less time and there is also a hair trigger option as well. The extra buttons on the back are customizable and make it great for certain games where you don't want to take your right thumb off the stick to hit a face button. Its a lot heavier than the original controller but all the components are higher quality. And the texturized grips on the handles make for non slip and feel good. Battery life lasts a long time and its internal. Overall price is what it is but you're getting really good quality for what you're purchasing.

    Great controller all around. Only complaint is if you have bigger hands it does feel a bit small when trying to scrunch your fingers and bit the paddles other than that. Excellent build quality

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.

    Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

    Good improvements over the first version

    All I can say is they improved an already great controller. Battery life is way better than the first version and I like the improved grips your palms rest on. And for those upset that you can't change the batteries, I feel its now a mute point. They have a very long a generous USB-C charging cable and the controller has no issues being used while charging (unlike some that can tend to drop the signal when this occurs). The only odd thing both a friend and I have noticed (we purchased at the same time) is that the Xbox button can be a bit off when pressing to turn on/off and other functions. It seems the click point is not as centered as the pervious version and is s bit more toward the right bottom of the circle.

    I really enjoy this controller. It has a good feel. The grips are nice. The paddles on the back are easy to reach. Programming the buttons is super easy. Some people have reported stick drift, which I have never experienced. I own two of these controllers. I will say I have never paid full price for one. I bought used off best buy and ebay (with no issues).
