Great controller

Quality Squared
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Internal Battery, hairpin trigger, metal around the joysticks, feeling , battery life, connection is all far superior to any controller before this. I have Currently 10 hours use and the battery still shows up completely full. Thank you Devs

Great controller but build quality could be better
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I've ever owned but left joystick started to experience drifting (although only slightly) after 6 months of use. Was still within warranty so Microsoft fixed it for free.

Optimal controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It feels better than a standard controller and the customization options for it are a nice bonus
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Button quality, Stick drift
Horrible quality
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This should be the perfect controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft really dropped the ball with overall quality on this generation. I’ve had to replace the controller under warranty twice already, and the latest replacement that I received will also be going back. Stick drift, sticky buttons, unresponsive buttons, shell separating, you name it. Cannot recommend this at all.

Right Bumper woes.....again!!!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.on my 3rd...only reason i keep getting because i keep getting geek squad warranty. RB keeps going out... i'm currently on my 3rd controller and the RB (right bumper) button is intermittent again.. if i gotta throw to my running back out the back field it's hit or miss if the ball goes out... or if i have to bring up the pass options in 2K to pass in to my Center..hit or miss...really sucks, because outside of that it's a great controller.

Makes gaming so much better
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was worried about spending so much on a controller and not seeing any difference in gameplay, however the control has been nothing, but responsive and the battery life is awesome. Made my life playing Monster Hunter so much easier.

Amazing Product!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Controller ever I used to play on a ps controller but switching to this was the best thing i could do
I would recommend this to a friend Great for consoles and PC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything is is adjustable. Trigger throw, stick tension and height, and paddles if you want them. This controller has been the answer to every complaint I’ve ever had about controllers since thumbsticks were invented. Seriously though, the Elite Controller has been a welcome addition to my gaming rigs. Not only do I use it with my XBox One, but it connects instantly with my PC to play the games that are better played with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. As far as durability goes- that remains to be seen. No drifting issues yet…

The Best Controller for Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. I purchased the Razer Wolverine to compare and the Elite feels much better. Paddle placement was easier for me to use. Greatly improved my game play

Best controller on the market
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best controllers I've owned this far. The weight makes it feel amazing in your hands and the button customization on this version is awesome! I've bought two of these just for how much I love this controller!

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Elite 1 since launch and loved it! Only had 1 problem with the bumpers in that time. This version 2 is an improvement in every way. The construction and feel of the controller is un matched and is worth every penny of the price tag
