Many appreciate the improved battery life and the addition of paddles, enhancing gameplay. However, some users report issues with stick drift and the durability of certain buttons. The overall experience appears positive, but potential problems with controller components should be considered.

    I was initially hesitant to purchase because of cost. Price is only downside but if you want the best this is it. Could never go back to standard controller after using this, everything else feels like a toy.

    Great customization for controller, if you’re replacing an older elite this is a great option to look into.

    Great controller if you like to play shooters, you can map actions with buttons and have 3 different profiles for your favorite games, little expensive but Quality is an A+, have no issues with it.

    Love this controller. Easy to use. Had to return the first one because the A button was not registering unless I pressed really hard on the button.

    Great controller. It has a great feel and weight to it. The grip on this is much better than the original model. No such drift as of yet, so fingers crossed

    Way better quality than your average controller. Call Microsoft once you purchase because they offer a 3 year warranty on this for 20 bucks. Your welcome.

    I play a lot of Destiny and love this controller. It has a premium feel to it and it's much better than the previous elite controller. There's added customization, rubberized grips on both sides, USB C, and a longer battery life.
