But the paddles off of amazon or temu for $7 and well worth it!

Great controller for extended game times and the extra buttons makes this even more worth it

This is the second one ive purchased, 1 for me and 1 for wife, and we still love ours!

Controller feels great when it works but the elite controller is poor quality for the price stick drift is ridiculous. I would definitely recommend geek squad protection don’t waste your time with sending it back to Microsoft to get fixed. I’ve had gone through 4 elite controllers all stick drift issues. Buy open box it’s cheaper & better deal

This is by far the best controller I’ve ever had. Excellent for FPS games, especially those with quick reaction time, this controller makes it quicker! The trigger stoppers and grips makes you feel so much more in the moment and definitely makes competitive gaming much more enjoyable. Even if you don’t have an Xbox, this is great for PC gaming as well!

Nice feel and easy to hold, I like how it's rechargeable too

By far the best controller that Microsoft makes. I had the last version of the series 2 and this one is much better.

Awesome controler works great has more features than expected

I’m on my third elite controller… but the durability is waaaay beyond the scuf. If you’re looking for paddles and button mapping, don’t go anywhere else. Only gets 4 stars because I have had to replace two one for stick drift and one because the X A and RB all started to fail.

I had a white one and bought this one for my brother. You cannot see in the picture that the bumper, trigger, and backside are glossy blue.

This thing has some heft to it, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying hours of play. Easily the best Xbox controller available, and that is considering the Scuf Gaming and Battle Beaver options. I love the build quality and the ease of use with the trigger stops and paddles. I can swap in and swap out paddles, the directional pad, thumbsticks, and macro's quickly and easily thanks to the clever design of the whole controller. I also like that I can adjust the thumbstick tension. The carrying case with the ability to use a charging pad from within is a nice touch.

Bought this controller in January 2022. A couple years in, I had issues with button activation (mostly bumpers) and rubber coming unglued. These problems exacerbated until finally recently becoming unusable. This does not appear to be a defect, just poor design and materials. I expect more from Microsoft, especially at this price point.

Absolutely love this controller!! My son said it's his favorite so far!

Had this controller for 6 months now and they work great . They did NOT come with the extra buttons (paddles) on the bottom of the controller justFYI .

Very good service they always help and the product is great!

This is one of the most solid feeling controllers I've handled. The quality is on point, it feels good on hand, but the battery life on this exceeded expectations. More than a week and not having to charge it. I love the additional accessories that come with it and the carrying case makes it convenient especially for game pass on the go.

Love this controller, always going to buy it over a regular one

I picked up this elite controller after a flood of recommendations from so many sources. I thought it would allow for some macros and other useful things through the use of the paddles but that didn't pan out. I really want to love this thing but it's hard to. The default vibration sounds like it's trying to saw itself in half. But props to them for allowing you to turn that down in the accessories app. You can make some fine tuning to your dead zones and joystick curves there as well. If you drop this controller, you'll get to pretend it's a Mr. Potato head and go hunting for the joysticks and the D pad insert. The levers on the back, as cool as they look, are useless at best and intrusive at their worst. They'd be useful if you could use them to macro together a combination of key presses or if they were a unique button recognized by game developers. But the only control you have over these things is what button to you want it to mimic. Or, realistically, what buttons do you want to accidentally press all the time? The handle grips are great and the triggers are nice as well. I like that the controller came with both a charging dock and a usb-c port. Battery life is good so far. Having the option to pick thumb sticks is a cool feature and one of the few unique aspects I think is actually useful. Being able to pick what Dpad you like is neat, but in a perfect world unless you're playing retro titles or fighting games I think it's of limited use. Unless new functionality gets added for the elite, I personally don't think it's worth it's asking price. I wouldn't buy it again. The elite is no where near 3x as nice as a standard controller but it's certainly 3x the price. If these were half the price, they'd be great.

Great controller. Especially for when you game on a pc.

Great controller. Know it's going to last a very long time. Sleek look as well.
