    Overall great product for long hours of gaming! Feels very sturdy and tough for accidental drops. Has interchangeable parts and excellent performance with no lag in input. Textured grips are very good when playing long hours.

    Overall, its a great controller but it’s pricey. I love the customization options and the battery life, and I don’t regret the purchase at all. It’s probably closer to worth the 139.99 price I’m seeing it discounted to now If you’re strapped for cash, theres nothing wrong with the regular Xbox controller. If you can afford it but are unsure, it might be worth considering the cost of a battery or two for the regular, and figure out how much all the other extras are worth to you.

    Dislike that the bumpers are always the first to go, the grips come off pretty easily, and the stick drift happens way too early in its life. Overall still like the remote, just wish it was produced better similar to the Xbox 360 remotes.

    Best little controller on the plaent. I've owned a variety of Xbox and playstation controllers. I loved this feel this one had. Was slim and loved the additional buttons for a more customized gaming experience. This bad boy lasted me 2 years I plan on getting another one of these.

    This is a very solid controller. Perfect for casual gaming - great grip, good sensitivity. You need something better for competitive gaming. For the price, I would go with a different controller.

    This is my second one. The first was great for about 9 months but then I developed stick drift even though I keep it in the case and my hands are always clean. The reason I bought another is because I tried to use a stock controller but I'm used to the elite. No other controller feels as solid or as high quality as this one. I've tried the Scuf and if you hold this one, you can feel the difference. I'll not go to another brand for as long as I play

    This controller feels amazing right out of the box. The build quality is solid, the buttons are super responsive, and the grips make long gaming sessions comfortable without slipping. The analog sticks are smooth and precise, and the triggers feel great for shooters and racing games. Battery life has been reliable, and it connects quickly with no issues. Overall, this is a high-quality controller that performs exactly as expected—definitely worth the purchase.

    I know I am not making full use of all of the customization features, but here is what I do like so far: • Ergonomics is excellent • Textured hand-feel is great • Weight and balance is the best so far • Very responsive • Love that you can customize the analog grips to fit your hands • Rechargeable built-in The one thing I wish it had: switchable binding between multiple devices. I have an xbox one, and xbox one x, and two nice windows computers. I wish there was a button that let me switch between controlling those different devices without reconnecting it to the device each time.

    Amazing Non Aftermarket Controller

    I wanted a controller with more responsiveness and that is what I got. Compared to a standard non elite or modified controller, this is more reliable and responsive. The amount of times I depress LT or RT and have to wait for the game to recognize I am trying to perform an action was tiresome. Unless it was CoD and/or a game I could set trigger dead zones, timing dodges or specific actions would input early or late. With the triggers being adjustable from a full pull, to half or even a click, saves me a headache while performing dodges or counter attacks. The rounded face D Pad also amazing for games that have upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right options. Having to press and hold UP and Right, etc on a normal D Pad again tiresome. Amazing product and I wish I could give it 5 stars, however I want other color options that don't require me to buy an accessory kit that would cost more than an already bundled controller OR having to order custom through Microsoft. Pros: - Well made with solid weight to it - Default profile without back buttons - 3 Customizable profiles for back buttons - Add or remove back buttons with ease - Swappable sticks and D pad with strong magnets - 3 levels of adjustablility for trigger stops Cons: - Requires Xbox Accessories App on PC - Does not properly indicate battery life Wired or BT - Colored Core options do not come with full accessories at reduced price, even then you over pay to add the accessories with a Elite Core - Unless custom ordered through Microsoft all buttons follow black and grey color scheme

    So as far as paddled "pro" controllers go this undoubtedly the best you can get with 3 different profile, trigger stop, and stick resistances options along customizable aim curves this provides the best possible customization that a controller has ever offered. Everything has it buts and in this case, it comes in the form of slight drifts off of the slightest movements but is easily corrected with raising deadzones. If you would like to check out some gameplay of it check out ChasTheChad on youtube or twitch.

    The best controller by far. I wont ever use another controller. The lifespan of one of these is about 3 years so if you feel thats worth it just keep it in mind. I am a heavy user and the onyl thing that went wrong on mine was a single back paddle was only responding 80% of the time

    I have always preferred the Xbox controller over the Playstation controller, especially because I play a lot of FPS games, but in general it feels better to me. Elite version is heavier, has rubberized grip, and the build of the controller feels premium (as it should for the cost). With all the accessories and adjustments (various thumb sticks, d-pads, paddles, and adjustable triggers), you can make the controller as custom, as needed. It has been my best controller ever purchased and worth the amount I paid. Get that Geek Squad protection, just in case! ;) Buy it and have fun!
