    Love the elite controller. The red color is amazing! Feels great so far. Highly recommend purchasing the geek squad warranty in case the controller messes up

    Best Xbox controller I’ve ever had. I normally only use one paddle to remap L1 but you can have 3 additional presets.

    For the most part, feels like a normal controller. It would be nice if the cradle in the case could hold a charge to charge it on the go.

    Love this controller. Surprised how good the battery life is, bought this on release day and have only had to charge it 3 times after using it for a bit more than a month now. There have been some complaints that some of these controllers are a bit defective, so just in case I put warranty on this. The one I bought seems to be fine though, the only slight thing is if I press the A button on the edge it may not register. If I press the A button in the center though it tends to always work. I just recommend testing the controller using some sort of program and see if it works. The controller overall feels of a very nice build quality, I feel it is more comfortable than the xbox one S controller and don't really ever have hand fatigue after playing for a long time.

    Its a very good controller, i like the trigger function and the interchangeable thumb sticks and d-pad. even the pack pedals are amazing and helps me play better without having to move my fingers. i would recommend but take care of it because the switch cover on the back broke off but it still works fine. Also its easy to lose pieces as they can fall off pretty easily.

    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    Good, but expect stick drift

    Replaced multiple of these controllers that all exhibited some level of stick drift brand new from the factory. Microsoft elite controllers are known to have looser manufacturing tolerances versus their standard controllers. You can find many examples online of people saying their controller exhibited the same behavior. If the stick drift doesn’t bother you, it is otherwise a great controller.

    Customization at your fingertips, and a USB-C connect and charge port for connecting to PC without Bluetooth. Great for gaming on the Xbox or PC. The included charging station is substantial enough to survive my kids, and uses a magnet to keep the controlled fit snugly while charging.

    It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of the Elite Series 2, but it's still the best gaming controller ever made.

    Purchased via "Open Box Excellent". Very pleased with the controller, and definitely a step up from the regular xbox controller that came with the Series X. the grip and feel of this controller is good, but not on the same level as the PS5 Dualsense IMO but still nice nonetheless The weight is fantastic, although definitely heavier than a normal xbox controller. The thumbsticks take a little getting used to, but once you adjust the tension to your preference they are great. Would also recommend replacing the paddles with SCUF paddles for additional comfort and easier access/playability

    The controller itself is excellent but make sure to buy the protection plan as they break easily.

    Yup. It feels good to use it and the bottom triggers make a difference. I didn't notice much difference between the series 1 and series 2, so I don't know that it's worth paying to replace if you own one already.
