    This is by far the best XBOX controller however all xbox controller suffer from stick drift so by the warranty. The features are the best in the premium controller market.

    This controller is amazing. It's so customizable and durable. The grips are truly non-slip. I play video games for hours and my hands to get sweaty, but they never slip due to the high quality material of the controller. I have used all other types of controllers for the PC and this by far is the best.

    GREAT! BUT Do Not Buy without GeekSquad Protection

    While the Elite controllers are far superior to the regular ones, they are still full of wearing parts, and prone to being dropped or mistreated. We had a teen boy in the house, and had the first version of the Elite controller, and so we got the GeekSquad protection thinking we wouldn't use it, but it's not that expensive so what the heck. I can not tell you how many times the GeekSquad plan has saved the day. I think that first series controller got replaced 3 times before the series 2 came out! Now that the series 2 was released, people are discovering problems with it. SO, that's even more reason to get that GeekSquad protection on it! I think this controller is like version 2 of series 2 in the Elite controller lineup or something like that, and they may have worked out all the problems, but I think it's still better safe than sorry. So I'd say get that GS protection on it, otherwise the Elite is a waste of money as it will most likely break at some point.

    This controller is great for the longest time I swore I’d never spend this much on a controller…it’s worth it! It feels amazing in the hands-very textured and has a great weight!

    The controller is a good upgrade from the series 1 controller. The controller is lighter and feels much better. It uses at usb-c charging cable I'm glad I upgraded phones to the Note 10 plus. I mostly play three games and being able to program three profiles to the controller is great. Playing with it on COD is great and really fun.

    Go to gaming remote for my kids that can be purchased at Best Buy. Be Customizable is great for preferences. BUT I have had to replace this controller twice due to broken/none responsive buttons/controllers each time within a year of purchase.

    Unless you have an unlimited budget to throw at repairs, extended, warranties, and replacements you should not buy this controller. When you get it, everything is wonderful. It’s hefty, customizable, and has features that are almost impossible to do without after you’ve experienced them. Then, the Y button stops working after a couple of weeks, so you return it. You get a new one that works better - for two months. Then your A button doesn’t register all presses. Luckily you have your warranty, so you now are on your third one (but out an extra 40 for a new EW because you can’t trust the build quality). Things are ok for the best six months. The A button doesn’t always register soft presses, but you learn to live with it. Then the left bumper stops working. You check with MS but you are now a month out of warranty so they want to charge you 100 dollars to fix. Luck you, you have the EW from BB, and if you want another you can pay even more! Now the controller that was a luxury at 180 will bring you to 300! And there is no guarantee the next one, or the next one, or the next one will last. It’s pathetic how little support MS offers for such an expensive and supposedly high quality accessory. Just pass, because once you used paddles with Forza there is no turning away from this dumpster fire.

    Great new elite colorway. Doesnt come with charging case or paddles but I found these useless on my first elite. I usually just charge it with the cord and buy colored paddles off of amazaon anyways (20$ for colored paddles)

    This is a great alternate purchase over the elite controller. Same functionality as the elite , minus the paddles. To be honest , i barely use the back paddles and charges just the same as any other xbox controller.

    Everything about this controller is quality. It feels INCREDIBLE. This is the best controller I have ever bought, to date. The buttons, triggers, and sticks feel very well made and the customization options are excellent. It's expensive but if you care about quality, this is THE controller to get for Xbox and mobile/computer gaming.

    Really like the customization with both the back paddles and standard buttons. Back bumpers aren't as solid as the PS equivalent, but it's still a hefty controller with quality build and button/vibration feedback.
