Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    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.

    Best controller I've ever used!

    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!

    The controller is great when it works. A lot of people eventually have problems and need to warranty it. I've gone through 4 or 5. Stick drift, stuck buttons, unresponsive bumpers. Still would buy it again, built in battery and the overall experience is unmatched compared to the regular controller.

    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.

    Great controller with added paddles in the back, different trigger options and has nice grip. I highly recommend the controller if youre looking to enhance your gaming experience. Has Bluetooth capability to connect with your PC/Laptop if you're going to use it for that.

    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

    Great controller with a good feel and tunable joysticks. This is a great lower cost replacement if you already have an elite 2 and can swap all of your paddles and accessories over. I get about 2 years of heavy use out of each and the core option saves me money. Glad microsoft de ided to release them.

    Many people told me not to purchase due to a common stick drift problem that comes about. But after almost a year with it I’ve never experienced any problems it’s been very reliable comfortable in hand and it is very customizable

    I own many Xbox Elite controllers I've had my own from the Xbox Design Labs I've actually bought core controllers in the store and then turn them into what I wanted afterward I bought in several of these it's just some may show up on my phone some might not to this day I haven't had one break on me not one except for the first one I ever bought which was on Amazon which proves my point about quality control and also Microsoft got a lot better making them because I used to get them direct from the Microsoft store and the version ones they just were not that great I mean it's a matter of preference what style you like I like this and prefer it to the dual Sense Edge for sure most comfortable gaming controller I use it when I game on other devices as well

    I personally love the controller it's heavier than the other one so it feels better in your hands and the overall quality is better and the thumb sticks and pad are detachable if you choose to replace them with different colors you can.

    Scooped this on a December sale, bought the paddles from elsewhere for $14. I've since retired my razer wolverine in favor of this. I was skeptical, but this is a really nice controller. Wirelessly connected to PC via Bluetooth, and it runs for hours in between charges.
