[Employee of bestbuy] Great controller with good customization features.

wonderfull controller works amazing. ended up buying 2 1 for me 1 for my brother. along with astro a 20 headsets.

It’s so much better than a regular control due to the weight mainly. It’s heavier than a regular remote which I really like. I don’t use most of the bells and whistles this thing has, but no more changing batteries was enough for me to shell out for this controller, everything else is gravy.

So far everything has been on par or better than the series one. great for use both on Xbox one and PC. Haven't personally tried the X,(I haven't been able to get one yet either. You're not alone!) but all the specs say it should work there too! Best part so far is the rubber wont fall off of this model. Unlike the series ones, as the whole case is rubberized. One note, be aware of the cords if you buy off brands later on. the controller itself needs a usb-c input. (The new rounded/oval shaped one.) It comes with all the cords you need though, so not something to worry about right away, but worth knowing that it's not the, used on everything, micro usb like the series one. But it's a better connection for newer machines. So it'll be better for the long run. Outside of fully moving the stick and button positions, (Like some of the wilder custom units.) you can personalize *literally* everything, and you have more variety of thumbstick styles and textures to match what you're actively playing, compared to the series one. It also just has a good feel. It's a simple thing, but it feels solid and well made.

Yes this is an expensive controller but Microsoft knocked this one out of the park! Love the grip and all of the customizations including making the sticks tight and loose. If you are a competitive gamer especially fps the back paddles are key! Being able to jump and slide while aiming using your sticks has never been easier. I would recommend to anyone!

good controller, works well, wow...the buttons. just great buttons. the buttons make me so...and i mean sooooooo...happy. wow, what a product.

Perfect. Feels great and has some heft so you feel like you are holding an elite product.

A little pricey, but feels great and comes with all the accessories. It has a nice case and is a great controller in general.

Overall, I LOVE this controller, but I have three comments on it, one major: 1) Immediately upon purchasing it, the A button started sticking. I looked up the issue and this was somewhat common, but people said that it got better with wear over time. This was the case for me as well, so no more issues here 2) (the major one) At the shortest trigger pull setting, the right trigger squeaks SO LOUDLY, that others in the same party can often times hear it over my mic. It’s extremely annoying and I want to know if there is a way to fix this. 3) Not a huge deal, but the controller has an unnoticeable offset in the grips. This is only apparent when set on a flat surface. The controller will rock maybe 0.3-1.0mm. This may be the cause of that trigger squeak, though that is just a theory. These three negative comments aside, this controller is EXCELLENT. The grips are actually extremely durable and the surface stays pretty clean, with no real marring or scratches. Overall, I love this controller.

The customization of this controller is awesome! The paddles and trigger locks are a game changer.. There is a learning curve to the paddles, I suggest starting with two paddles on the back and getting those down first. When you feel this controller in your hand, you will not want to ever pick up a regular Xbox controller again. Highly recommend.

Long lasting battery life while having an amazing gaming feel. Would recommend to anyone who is a gamer.

Wish i would have bought one of these earlier. Very nice and comfortable. Wont buy a regular conroller again.

My son will not use anything else, he says this controller is great, it has so many functons and options for gaming of all kinds.

After months of use I would say that was disappointing a little for the price. I only bought this when I had extra cash and wanted to test a "premium" controller. Control response time was really good, the case is good, alongside the ability to customize anything about the controller. However where it fails is the extra paddles of the controller and even if it's removable. It kinda leaves opening in the back of your controller. Leaving it exposed to dirt and oils from your hands. For people who grew up in the old Xbox era controllers the paddles get in the way more than an added benefit. Otherwise good controller but just a preference issue.

I was tired of buying a new controller every 3 months so I decided to upgrade to one made with durable components. I’ve owned two of these controllers. I returned the first one due to stick drift. There was no problem with the return and my new controller is working great. I highly recommend upgrading to the elite controller 2.

Great controller with wonderful battery life. Ergonomic grip is much better than the base controller. Wish this one came with the kit like the original elite controllers did.

Truly the benchmark for quality in gaming controllers. Solid, feels great, and thorough attention to detail. The triggers are long enough for racing games but can be shortened as well. I only wish they let you choose between the concave joysticks or convex like on Nintendo and Playstation. Concave never made any sense...

This controller is just totally awesome. Fully programmable and will take ur whole gaming experience to a new level for sure!! I must say, though the programming part of it is definitely at a higher level capable understanding. I would recommend watching the associated video of this product if it’s still offered through Best Buy website and not recommended for younger children.

I personally like the added weight when playing along with the no slip grips makes for a enjoyable playing experience. The 3 trigger settings along with fine tuning the analog sticks comes in very handy. Upgraded from the Elite First addition. If you had the first one you will love this one even more.

It has a great feel in your hand. It feels very solid. The rubber texturing feels comfortable. The joysticks are sensitive and accurate with no drift. The buttons are solid and sensitive. This is an excellent controller if you want a better quality that the standard controller.
