Love it and the fact i dont have to buy batteries anymore

Love these controllers but despise the fact that the common issues have still not been addressed. Left bumper has failed me on 4 of these controllers. Battery life is excellent, weight is great, paddles and customizability is fantastic. Just the freaking bumpers that always seem to crap out. Oh and stick drift has always been a problem. Given the price and the fact that pretty much everything else about it is solid, I would expect the bumpers to hold up better.

I was skeptical about paying so much for an Xbox controller, but so far, this one is proving to be superior to all of our previous buys. My Kiddos both say this controller has no drift and is much more comfortable to hold and navigate. Seems as though Microsoft could lower the price a bit, still IMO. But, for what it's worth, there really is a noticeable difference!

Comes in a great case for carrying and storage. Works as intended - feels far better than the XBox One controller I was using prior to this. I am using on PC, and the paddles and adjustability of the controller makes fore a great product. Little pricey, but worth the investment if you game at all and need a solid controller.

Really great controller. Love the color/ feel of the controller while playing. Comes with allot of extra pieces . Decent price.

I knew I needed a rechargeable, wireless controller for upcoming Xbox games I wanted to play, but I was skeptical of the value with a $129 controller... however, I finally bit the bullet and dove in, and I am glad I did. This is an excellent, responsive controller, and it doesn't get much better than this. I love the style, feel and ability to configure it, and it feels natural and light when playing for extended sessions.

The controller feels solid and not cheap. I like the rubberized grips and that it comes with a charging cable. The built in rechargeable battery is a massive upgrade over the base controllers AA requirements.

Controller feels comfy in your hand more so than v1. Customize it your away . It feels smaller and I love the built I charger post as well. I would have felt more warm and fuzzy if price was a bit less.

Feels great in your hands, solid and sturdy. Love the adjustability.

Awesome controller, I highly recommend for those who play on Xbox or PC. I had the original Elite Series 2 controller, but it broke so I used my Total Tech membership to get a replacement and decided to get the Core (Since I already had the case and buttons). Love the color tone of the core. It's important to note that this controller is great if you're replacing an older one or don't need the paddles. But the weight and grip make it worth it.

After using the Xbox elite series controller for about a month now I feel that I can leave a solid and honest review. I have tried and used multiple Xbox controllers that have paddles and are capable of custom button mapping. The xbox app for the Xbox elite series controller allows you to custom map EVERY ASPECT of the controller. So much so that I am able to turn down the responsiveness and speed at which the input for the left and right stick acceleration depending on the parameters that I set. It sets so well and comfortably in my hands. Simply put, it is hands down the best controller i have ever used. Thats including Fusion and Turtle Beach brands. The cost is minimal at best for such a controller in my opinion. I have had to return and exchange numerous controllers that were previously stated. Given the costs (Turtle Beach alone being over $200) of the competitors products and the craftsmanship I had expexted to be set for the foreseeable future, however that was never the case. I have had ZERO issues with my Xbox elite series controller. The battery is PHENOMENAL and the charge time is MINIMAL at best.

Awesome controller, you can literally customize everthing on it.

The elite controller feels more solid/heavier than a standard xbox controller and has more attachments for buttons/triggers which helps in a variety of games. I do recommend getting the warranty though because I had issues with my first one not connecting correctly and disconnecting randomly. My 2nd one has fared better but the nubs on the back that switches the tension fell off within the year. Other than that the battery life is good and it charges via USB-C.

Best controller ive ever had hands down. Open box deal through best buy and ive had this for a year as my everyday Xbox and PC controller. It is mt favortie and if it ever breaks i will gladly pay to replace it. Heavier and made with better materials than a traditional xbox controller

Definitely a great controller. Nice weight and the buttons feels more premium than the non elites. Only downside is the price. This is worth the investment if you game a lot on pc or Xbox. The buttons on the back are programmable but only with the inputs that are already on the controller. I could not find a way to map it with a macro or a specific key.

Great feel to the sticks, buttons, and triggers. The customization through the console is great if you take the time to adjust everything carefully. I have an older model with the paddles (extra purchase on this model) and I can remove them and put them on this one when I want to. Overall a much better controller than the standard Xbox controller.

Nice weight, very sturdy and comfortable to use. The only bad side is that these controllers unfortunately do not last! They are great controllers, but must be replaced about every year or so... I've decided it's worth to buy & replace because I actually really like this controller over any other basic wireless ones on the market.

Buying this controller has to be a great choice and well worth the money. It feels great in the hands with grip and weight. Buttons are responsive and joysticks and dpad are feels great.

Weights good, the grip is better, interchangeable sticks and d pad is better, and the paddles are amazing. If you can learn to use them naturally in the way you can map them to different buttons. You can become a great player

I stick by the elite controllers, they have an amazing hand feel and the paddles on the rear are in absolute perfect positioning for my hands - biggest reason I keep returning to them, I can’t game without them now it’s almost like you forget they’re there and it just becomes a regular button that naturally integrated. My only complaint is the bumpers- the elite controllers are notorious for having the bumpers go out after a year or two ( and the grips start popping off, but some precision super glue or adhesive and it’s like nothing ever happened ) so you do end up needing to replace them every couple years - I’m on my 4th elite controller since the very first gen 1 elite controller release.
