    Returned. Not worth $200 for me. Maybe for pros.

    I only used it for 2 weeks. My left hand didn't like using all the paddles. I tried the extra thumbsticks but didn't have a use for them. I like how easy it is to hot map buttons (make the A button do what the X button does, for example) My favorite part of this controller is the hairpin trigger adjustment. Other than that... I didn't sit well knowing I paid $200 for a controller and I barely used all it's features. I went back to my regular red controller ☺ I'll leave this one for the pros.

    Before this, I want to say that I bought my product as open box excellent condition. I rated 4 star because the controller came without the little covers for the trigger stops but everything works well. There is a bit of drift, but this might be because the joysticks are so loose that my character slightly moves when I shake my controller. Other than that, everything works perfectly as intended and is someone who should buy for the paddles to avoid the “claw” method of holding a controller.

    Although we had to return this (button input was lagging on the PC), it feels very good in hand. We also have an PS5 elite controller and using this one in comparison, it's a little heavier but still has amazing grip and the satisfying buttons. Connecting to PC via cord or Bluetooth was easy.

    As much as I love the Xbox elite controllers, some times I feel as though they easily can break by simply using it too much or too little, and I bought this as I previously owned a controller thats warranty expired. Now I am not saying it will, but with this still being an elite controller with a different shell casing, there is a chance it could still break and me needing to send it in for repairs

    I tried other pro style controllers and while there are in fact better budget options, if you want something that feels solid and eloquent instead of the feel of a toy, do yourself a favor and save time and heartache by getting this. Here are the things that separate this controller besides materials: - Adjustable tension analog sticks - Shift key programming function (effectively double your amount of buttons) - true bluetooth - guaranteed to work with next gen console - pc and android phone usage (project xcloud) - case is the charger - can setup multiple button profiles to quick change between

    Super high quality product. Comes with all 4 paddles, and 4 extra joysticks depending on preference. Comes in a nice carrying case also. It’s got some weight on it and feels like a very sturdy product.

    By no fault of best buy, xbox has this overpriced even for what it can do. The functions are unnecessary.

    Best controller on the market. Buttons are extremely responsive. Trigger pulls now have two settings to shorten the pull resulting in quicker shots fired in first person shooters. Power button is a shorter push to turn on and off. It just feels like a high end controller. My old one has a thumb stick that would drift upwards when not in use, other buttons felt like you had to mash down on. This is more responsive, more clicky if that makes sense. If you owned the previous Elite you’ll love this even more. Carrying case allows you to charge while in case. Battery life doubled. This is a 10/10.
