    This new iteration of the Elite controller is well... ELITE! It is one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used and is better than any 3rd party pro controllers you can get! A tad pricey but well worth it! It has an internal rechargeable battery and the battery life lasts for days! Like binge playing all day... days! Must have for shooters too. Literally cannot play shooters anymore without paddles! Perfect compliment to a new Series X having 60-120fps!

    I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller.  I like the different opinions available to me.  The controller itself is nice and comfortable.  You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again.  There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

    10X better than the base model Xbox controller.

    The controller for the series X that comes with the console is awful. It’s click clack buttons and AA battery compartment are shameful. This controller however is the one that should have come with the system. As I’m writing this review it’s on sale for Total Tech members for $140.00 and it’s worth that easy. It’s every bit as good as any custom Scuff PS5 controller that are selling for $230.00. If you love your Xbox and hate the cheap controller they packaged with it here’s the remedy.

    So I was skeptical at first about this purchase due to the mixed reviews. I’ve had this controller for about 6 months now and I can honestly say after countless hours and long nights playing the game, not to mention how many times I’ve accidentally dropped it on my hardwood floor that it still works perfectly. I’m here to tell you to go for it if you want to transition to paddles. I have and I’m not going back to regular controllers at least for FPS etc.

    Great controller, but the service plan is worth the money. If you play a lot you will eventually have an issue with the gimbals, bumpers or triggers. It is definitely a great controller loaded with features that will make you a more efficient player.

    It’s a good solid controller that works great with my PC. Very comfortable shape for your hands and the back paddles just flow into your fingers for ease of use for those that game for hours at a time. I play a lot of a Vanguard and this controller gets the job done and I’m able to move more efficiently in the game. Battery life is great as well lasting me more than a week on full charge gaming at least 5 hours a day. Just get it you won’t regret it :)

    Very easy to set up and you can tell they really thought through the design. Also, amazing battery life! Compatible with copilot. I have to knock off a star because I had to exchange for a new one because one of the paddles didn't work properly.

    I have used this controller regularly for over a year and it has been a very reliable tool for my gaming and content creation. The back paddles have helped me play more efficiently and thinking differently about how I layout my bottoms and controls.

    Been wanting a pro controller for a long time was thinking about getting a scuff but couldn't fathom spending that type of money on a controller wasn't sure if I was going to like this cuz I've always liked the PlayStation style controller but glad I made the switch fell in love the first week

    Hands down the best controller. Rechargeable by just placing it in its case. Multiple ways to adjust every aspect of the way it works. Trigger pull, dead space, sticks, 5 types of movement speed that can be adjusted and feels great in your hand. I have 3 in their cases so I can just swap them out when ones battery's low.

    This remote is awesome. From the interchangable thumbsticks and hair triggers to the completely remappable paddles. Perfect for all types of gamers! You can tell the moment you pick it up this is a quality and durable product! Not to mention the fact that the case doubles as a charger when you set the cintroller inside!
