this controller is amazing, the build quality, materials, buttons, everything is very solid. however there is a massive flaw in the design. the sticks cannot be clicked in while tilted at an angle, I read online this was a common issue and can be fixed by unscrewing the stick counter clock wise slightly, however if you do this just 1mm too much it will be lose and freely spin, and tightening it will result in the same issue being unable to click the stick in. the solution for this was to take the controller faceplate off which is very annoying to do and held down but pointless adhesive and put a .5mm thick 4mm inner diameter jump ring around the stick and then screw the stick back on. the process is very annoying for an almost $200 controller when ms knows the issue and refuses to redesign such a simple fix, but it now feels perfect

Great product and a decent alternative to its more expensive counterpart,
Definitely recommend for someone wanting a little extra from their gaming experiences.

Best controller for Xbox players. the multiple presets for different button combinations are great. The back paddles make FPS games feel smooth and the adjustable triggers make shooting and aiming quicker. same goes for RPGs when you have multiple keybinds you want to use but still like the feel of controller gameplay, it truly makes the gameplay feel better and more in control.

Wonderful upgrade from a standard controller, lots of customization with the joystick. The triggers helps to improve gameplay, comfortable, and very precise controller amazing to use. Got to use my points that added up as well, highly recommend!

The best controller I’ve ever used. You can change the tension on the left and right thumbsticks independently as well as the left and right trigger travel. The grip texture feels secure yet comfortable. FPS and platformer games are more enjoyable with this controller. Playing on a Windows 11 PC. I found a red controller on sale with the Total Membership for $94 which was well worth it considering normal controllers are around $70.

Didn't want the elite controller, because I have no need for the paddles. Being able to change the triggers and stick is amazing. Can also create different modes based on the current game you're playing. So if you dont mind the less equipment this controller comes with compared to the black elite controller. Its an Excellent!! Purchase!

Great Controller. Has lasted me a good while with moderate use. Hasn’t shown signs of any wear so far. Everything works as it did when I bought it. Overall very happy with this purchase. Definitely will recommend and purchase again if needed

Very capable peripheral. Comfortable to hold, and the placement of the paddles feels natural to my grip. The connectivity options, settings app and battery are amongst my favourite features. It feels durable.
My criticisms would be #1 price. In my opinion Microsoft aren’t the only guilty ones but the whole Controller market is quite messed up with their prices. A regular controller $60-70? So you buy 4 of them and you are essentially almost buying another console… No controller should cost +$150, it doesn’t matter how many features they have. Personally, 100-120 is a more proper price for a controller of this caliber, though.
#2 Why aren’t you giving me the wireless USB receiver included? Add $10 to the total value if you want, but you are already giving me almost the whole set, just add the receiver to the bundle for the next gen.
#3 $25 for a USB wireless receiver is stupid… there is just no way that little piece of plastic costs that much.
#4 In my case, off the box, I was getting way too much input delay. I managed to lower it through the Xbox app settings to the point where it feels as instant as my old DS4 controller.
It is annoying though. After doing a lot of research, apparently it turns out that Xbox controllers in average have higher input delay than PlayStation controllers on PC off the box. This shouldn’t be a thing, especially with a +$150 “pro elite” controller.
Because of this last issue, for the whole first week of use I was thinking about returning it. I was close to returning it but the other features were so good they made me want to find a workaround or something that it would help me lower the input delay. In the end I kind of found my answer through the accessories app.
Currently I’m happy with the controller. Not sure if I would recommend though. If you can afford it, just because of all the cool features give it a shot and if you don’t like how it feels in game then return it.

I've had other Elite controllers in the past (Series 1), and the updated Series 2 definitely feels like an update. The Red version is visually very pretty, feels great to hold in your hands, and the textured grips are great. It does feel like a premium product.

You get what you expect, it’s an elite controller, lasted me almost 3 years of consistent use so that’s a big plus especially with all the removable parts

So far this controller has held up better than the battery operated ones. Those kept giving out or not connecting to the Xbox. My son is kinda rough on his things and so far I’m satisfied with the durability. I also got the 2 year coverage just in case.
