It is what it is
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller for FPS games. Not that much use for anything else. Not really worth the hype for the price but does add some nice features like profiles and the RGBW home button.

My Favorite Xbox Controller
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer the heavier weight and rubberized grip over the plasticy feel of the regular Xbox controller. You can program 3 controller profiles and cycle through them with the center button.

Best Xbox controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Xbox controller I’ve played with. Without getting into the technical aspects of it, which you can read almost everywhere, know that this controller is very easy and comfortable to play with. The price is high but worth every penny. I definitely recommend it.

Great buy!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my 12 yo grandson. He already had another wireless contriller that he wasn't very pleased with. He really likes this one. I think i might have scored a few grandmother points!

It WAS great.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

Connection issues, stick and buttons false presses
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love this controller but can’t. I had to sell it. I had issues with 2 controllers so far. Never had any issues with gen 1. Gen 2 issues: - Random disconnects - Double press on buttons I would still recommend it since it’s a great upgrade form the original controller

Great tough controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i have a team of expert reviewers (my three grandsons) who put this controller through an rigorous testing regime over the last few weeks. They all three said that it was great. The fact that it stood up to their nonstop and sometimes energetic playing means that it is durable as well as great.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely happy with this controller, gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of how different the paddles were from the first elite controller. It took some time to get used to after using the original elite controller for years. Definitely worth the upgrade to the series 2.

Best controller i have ever used
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.

Amazing controller! Inconsistent Manufacturing.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I understood why people love this control the instant I put it in my hand. It feels premium. After playing with it for two weeks, it began to feel natural; my hand was adapting to the new trigger buttons. Unfortunately, the right trigger began to give-way and the spring was making a squeaking sound. The standard face buttons also didn’t register every time I press them. I returned it. Thankfully it was within the return period. I now also understand the issues of this controller. The manufacturing for these controllers isn’t consistent. I purchased a new controller that arrived today and i hi opefully I can leave a better review in the coming weeks and months.

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great upgrade from the standard controller. If you play alot of video games it’s worth the price. Definitely purchase the extended warranty though if your paying for a premium controller. Controllers go through a lot of wear and tear so the warranty is a must.

The improvements are very welcome. Have the add ones like bluetooth, adjustable analog tension ,.rechargeable battery , amd the paddles feeling better then the original.

Great feel and responsiveness
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller that is responsive and feels like a high quality product. I've tried other brands of controllers with paddle buttons, and preferred this one. It is more expensive than I would like, but it is noticeably better than the stock controllers.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Elite series 1 was great... and then this one came out and is so much better. I'll never go back to a regular xbox controller. Even the Xbox light is customizable to any color. The charging dock is awesome too!
