Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Switched from a PS4 scuf. This controller is more durable and lasts longer. The 1 year warranty is worth the purchase as well.
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the first elite controller and this is a far superior product. The textures, plastics and finishes are just better. The buttons are clickier. The additional tension features on the sticks are amazing. Just buy it with a warranty.

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller, but a heads up that the bumpers will wear out over time. Make sure you get the extended warranty, and you should be ok.

Great bbut faulty
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller to have, comes in handy. However it tends to wear fairly easily. The buttons/connections wear out and can’t be used after some time, forcing you to use the built in paddles. Then the paddles wear out and you can’t use them. If you buy this controller I HIGHLY recommend getting the protection plan for it.
I would recommend this to a friend really gives a premium feel to the purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Grip, size, handle of the controller feels so natural especially in connecting to a pc for steam play

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller had to get a new one due to my other elite had a nasty stick drift I wish I knew how to fix that. Bcuz the controllers aren’t cheap!

Great while it lasts.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a GREAT controller...for as long as it works. Over time you WILL experience stick drift on either or both sticks. You also may experience your bumper buttons double activating when pressed once. It’s random, but when it happens (like switching weapons in fortnite) it’s frustrating. I think I have my shotgun out and I start healing in front of the enemy. Every since elite 1 and 2 controller I’ve had has had problems. Could take weeks, could take months, but it happens. Thank god for geek squad. They have had my back every time. <3

A consistent issue.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good piece for about 6 months, then the bumpers start to fail. It’s a long term problem with Xbox controllers which hasn’t been fixed throughout the life of the Xbox one-series x system. Controller has never been dropped and always placed in its case between uses. Still great technology, would buy again.

solid controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid controller. Pros: - rechargeable long lasting battery - paddle sticks - exchangeable sticks Cons: - weight - can tend to cause some hand strain given location of paddles ( for me at least)

I would recommend this to a friendGreat controller but build quality could be better
||Posted .

Was still within warranty so Microsoft fixed it for free.
