    Best Buy employee was great. Price matched the controller with Amazon. Gave it 3-Stars because it had stick drift fresh out of the box. Thats a Microsoft thing though, not a Best Buy issue. Maybe consider a Scuff instead?

    Much better than standard controller

    I think this is the controller that should come with the Xbox Series X as standard, it has a high end feel, like the console, which deserves a special controller. It has incredible customization options, has a quality feel in hand, comes with wireless charger and if it lasts as long as my Series 1 controller (which still works perfectly to this day) then you can't go wrong. The PS5 controller may be better than the standard Xbox controller, but this controller trumps them all. Highly recommended despite the price.

    It's great when it works... but for how long?

    It's easily the best controller on the market... when it works. It worked perfectly for about a year and a half then suddenly I developed severe right stick drift. The Microsoft warranty had expired by about 2 weeks, but they were gracious enough to except it anyways. But it was a hassle getting a quality controller back. They admitted that the drift was so bad it couldn't be replaced, so they sent me a refurbished one (uh oh). On this replacement the "A" button didn't function properly, so it went back again. On the next one, its "A" button also didnt work, so away it went. 3rd time is a charm, right? WRONG. This one had a faulty bluetooth transmitter so I couldn't connect it at all. At this point I finally talked Microsoft into a full refund, which they did. I'm giving it 3 stars because it is hands down the best controller on the market when it works properly, but don't be surprised when it goes it.

    Best little controller on the plaent. I've owned a variety of Xbox and playstation controllers. I loved this feel this one had. Was slim and loved the additional buttons for a more customized gaming experience. This bad boy lasted me 2 years I plan on getting another one of these.

    Response on the controller is great and has some cool features you can use on different types of games your into. It has worked with my PC flawlessly. Bluetooth can be a problem after being hardwired into the PC But that can be fixed by just reconnect to Bluetooth and you should be fine. Havnt experienced any ingame interruptions.

    The grip is better than the other elites and works just as good. For PC useres, buy a dongle.

    This is amazing. Definitely changed my game playing. Being able to change the triggers is awesome. Does not come with back paddles. Which is really the whole point in getting one of these. Had to buy separate

    Seriously love it. Thought it wouldn’t be that much better but the red really pops in this bad boy. I think it feels better than my all black series 2 I got when they came out.

    The bumpers wear out annoyingly easily long time weakness of the elite controllers you'd think they would have fixed by now.

    Great controller. Has all the bells and whistles. My only problem is that I need to get used to the extra buttons. But it works exactly as intended and has a ton more functionality than I'll probably ever use. But I'm also middle-aged and set in my ways without a ton of gaming experience.

    The function is amazing being able to use the paddles and customization. On that same note the quality is some what lacking as the rest of the elites the rb and lb are always an issue . No stick drift yet after a year …yet
