    Amazing controller, it may be overpriced but it's amazing for competitive gaming. I got lucky because I bought it as Open Box, but it works perfect. Tip: if you get one open box try it with the Xbox Accessory app and see if there is any issue with it, if there is return it ASAP, if not enjoy cause it's amazing!

    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

    It took me years to finally buy this controller. I’m happy with it. I’d say this is worth it if you play FPS games (WZ, COD, etc.). Using the paddles gives you the ability to do things like reload or armor up or mark locations - without moving your thumbs from the buttons or joystick. The weight of the controller is legit too. It feels like good build quality. One of the things that this got rid of for like 2 weeks was controller drift. After a couple weeks, it came back but was less intense. All in all I’d say if you are thinking about this and play FPS games, do it!

    I picked up this elite controller after a flood of recommendations from so many sources. I thought it would allow for some macros and other useful things through the use of the paddles but that didn't pan out. I really want to love this thing but it's hard to. The default vibration sounds like it's trying to saw itself in half. But props to them for allowing you to turn that down in the accessories app. You can make some fine tuning to your dead zones and joystick curves there as well. If you drop this controller, you'll get to pretend it's a Mr. Potato head and go hunting for the joysticks and the D pad insert. The levers on the back, as cool as they look, are useless at best and intrusive at their worst. They'd be useful if you could use them to macro together a combination of key presses or if they were a unique button recognized by game developers. But the only control you have over these things is what button to you want it to mimic. Or, realistically, what buttons do you want to accidentally press all the time? The handle grips are great and the triggers are nice as well. I like that the controller came with both a charging dock and a usb-c port. Battery life is good so far. Having the option to pick thumb sticks is a cool feature and one of the few unique aspects I think is actually useful. Being able to pick what Dpad you like is neat, but in a perfect world unless you're playing retro titles or fighting games I think it's of limited use. Unless new functionality gets added for the elite, I personally don't think it's worth it's asking price. I wouldn't buy it again. The elite is no where near 3x as nice as a standard controller but it's certainly 3x the price. If these were half the price, they'd be great.

    Good weight on the elite controller, very responsive. Nice grip on the back as well. Stick drift is still a issue which is u fortunate with a higher tier controller. Spring for the warranty if you can to save you down the line. Doesn't come with the paddles which I thought was strange.
