    Great product, quality feel and brings a better gaming experience to the Xbox platform. Purchase this as a gift and can tell you the person who has used it for the last month won’t touch a regular Xbox One controller now lol. This controller has allowed for them to make the needed adjustments to in game play as well as being able to charge the controller (no more battery replacements) and this means no longer using third battery chargers, battery packs and worrying about why they only have 3 - 6 month warranties. This product is genuine Microsoft and is the quality you would expect.

    At first I wasn’t used to the controls but as soon as I got adjusted it was the best. I can’t see myself go back to the original now.

    I have had four of these controllers, sometimes replaced via Microsoft warranty, other times replaced via Geek Squad protection. The left bumper always goes out. Hope that you don't play bumper jumper or you will be very frustrated. Other than this consistent flaw, the controller is amazing. Every feature regarding both hardware and software is great! I only need the LB button to work when the game is on the line...

    First of all, I do not know why no Best Buy’s carry this in stock ANYWHERE. So with the warranty thankfully they replaced my controller. However, I had to leave my controller with them on Monday morning and they told Me I would receive it by Friday June 27th.. on Saturday i received and update saying I won’t get it until Monday ! Thankfully I was home on Monday when they delivered it and my pck age was not stolen !!!!

    By for the best controller for the XBOX Series X & S. I have multiple controllers from hi-end to cheap and I've found the elites customizable options for me are better. Also has great battery life around 35 hrs of hard core gaming. It's more expensive then most, but cheaper and better in my opinion, than more expensive cintrollers with the same features.

    This is my second one. The first was great for about 9 months but then I developed stick drift even though I keep it in the case and my hands are always clean. The reason I bought another is because I tried to use a stock controller but I'm used to the elite. No other controller feels as solid or as high quality as this one. I've tried the Scuf and if you hold this one, you can feel the difference. I'll not go to another brand for as long as I play

    The controller feels amazing in your hands and functions well. The extra buttons come in handy for multiple games and shortening the trigger is great too for shooters. The big problem is the life span of the controller I’ve had several of them and they all break. The bumpers are usually the first to go.

    Overall, its a great controller but it’s pricey. I love the customization options and the battery life, and I don’t regret the purchase at all. It’s probably closer to worth the 139.99 price I’m seeing it discounted to now If you’re strapped for cash, theres nothing wrong with the regular Xbox controller. If you can afford it but are unsure, it might be worth considering the cost of a battery or two for the regular, and figure out how much all the other extras are worth to you.
