    I was skeptical this would be a good as people said, but it was recommended so many times I took the plunge. Absolutely worth it. Feels very premium, and the controls are more responsive. The material makes it so my hands sweat less in longer sessions and even if they do I still have good grip. I use mostly with my pc, and whenever I use my xbox.

    I loved my original Elite controller, but this is definitely a step up in quality and performance. The grips are more comfortable and the built in rechargeable battery with magnetic stand is handy. I don’t honestly use the underside for macro button commands, but I just prefer the analog sticks on here better along with the overall construction.

    One of the best controllers I have ever used. The 4 paddle option makes it so easy to customize movements and re-mapping everything to my way of playing the game.

    It’s good but the case that microwave gives you pushes on the sticks a bit much for me to be fully happy with the full kit. Other wise it has great battery life and the charging stand is nice to have out the box.

    It was good for a little while, until I started to get major stick drift in both the thumbsticks. However, it was covered by Microsoft's warranty and I was able to send it in and they sent be back a brand new one, and no problems since!

    Best competitive controller

    I have had other competitive controllers before like SCUF, but this is my favorite. Easy to setup controller mapping and just feels great. Love the layout of the paddles easy to press and takeoff. I haven't had it for too long, but so far I can't use any other controller besides this. Especially when I'm playing shooters just changes everything.

    I really like this controller. It feels very premium, and it has helped me with my gameplay due to the paddles. They were a little tough to get used to at first since you have to grip the controller slightly less firm, but once you get used to it, it feels very natural. The thumbsticks are also very smooth and precise.

    Fresh out of the box, it's an absolute beast, but tends to show its age after a year. If you're purchasing this, do yourself a favor a get the 2yr warranty as it's notorious for stick drift after continuous use.

    Great so far! Had a modded controller before this one and the buttons started sticking. I’m not a fan of the big paddles on the rear of the controllers so this worked out great. I love the feel of the rubber on the controller.

    I ordered an XBox Elite controller online for a Christmas gift and it was ready to pick up less then 2 hours later at my local Best Buy store. Once i went into the store. I was waited on immediately, got the controller within 2 mins. No hassel or anything. Great overall experience and I will continue to order my electronics from Besy But. Excellent self help and customer service. An this is not the dirst time.
