Good but not great
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, it should be made more resistant. One drop and that’s it, the buttons get stuck.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the total tech plan for these controllers alone. It’s a great controller overall. Stick drift
I would recommend this to a friend mostly recommend could be priced better.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.only reason is not 5 stars is the grip started to fall off 6months after purchasing. For the price i dont find this acceptable, but the upgrades this has over the first gen version it is much better over all and i daily drive this still to the day.
I would recommend this to a friendI was skeptical about paying $200 for a controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is amazing. I was very skeptical at first of paying over $200 for a controller (with the warranty), but this is the best controller I've ever owned. The grips, additional paddles, interchangeable joysticks and D-pad are fantastic. There are so many customizeable features about this and it feels like a premium product. You can tell that Microsoft put a lot of work into this controller design. I'd encourage others to purchase one unless you're holding out for next-gen controllers.

A great buy if replacing an older Series 2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive worn out my Elite Series two, so i grabbed this and saced $50 on the stuff i had from the original. I love the white and black! These controllers are fantastic, but having had three, are prone to random failures. The most commkn for mer are the rear paddles with randomly stop working. Its bot the switch failing rather the plastic the the paddles hook into wears out and there anfle of the paddle is off enough it camt trigger the switch. I have to be clear, ive not worn or broke three previous controllers but have stick drift on one and the other the paddle problems. The third is fine, i just use it for another system. I do recommend this controller as there arent any out there thet beat it

Good controller and premium feel
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Takes a short time to get used to it and so many aspects to customize that I didn’t even think I need but now I can’t do without them

Stick Drift Quality Control Nightmare
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exchanged for a total of 3 times, first one the select button intermittently worked, other 2 had stick drift right out of the box and 2 days into using it...finally exchanged the 4th time for a black elite (the more expensive one) and now this one has stick drift after 4 days of usage...i cannot understand WHY Xbox has such poor quality control and products for as much as they cost! Absolutely ridiculous. Other than these issues the controllers feel great, have a good weight to them, and are very user friendly...but i cannot overlook the blatant issues!
