    Amazing controller with tons of options for customization. Wish it was a tad cheaper though.

    The controller is built well and would be amazing if the basic model F000001 didn't have issues. Drift stick, A and Y button not always working, and RB button going out. Also I wouldn't buy it with a warranty from Best Buy cuz they haven't had any replacement controller for over 6 months.

    Didn’t take long at all to develop stick drift. And I’m not even a heavy gamer either. Wouldn’t recommend at that price.

    The extra flaps and all the adjustments are nice. However, the guts of the controller are the same crap as the standard, so drifting joysticks is going to happen. You'd think it could be a little better quality for that much scratch. We're on the 4th or 5th now...

    PADDLES UNRESPONSIVE

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great until the paddles in the back becomes completely unresponsive. Apparently it's a known problem! I had mine for a year and a couple months. The controller only comes with a one year warranty. $170 wasted. Just stick with the off brand.

    Felt great then still feels great 2 years later. The left bumper is slowly beginning to not work and it is starting to have connectivity issues. Great controller but expensive if you'll have to replace it every 2 years.

    Don’t buy an Xbox or any Xbox Accessories!!!

    I’ll put this very easy and clear - DON’T BUY AN XBOX OR ANY ACCESSORIES! I’ve had this controller for 1 month and it already has stick drift. I take care of my consoles and all of my accessories so this isn’t neglect it’s a matter of extremely poor quality and manufacturing. My brand new Xbox controller that came with the console stopped working after 2 weeks. The Xbox wireless headset I bought stopped working after 1 month and now this Xbox Elite controller is having the same problem. I’ve gone through so much shipping these accessories back to Microsoft to get a replacement and they won’t even promise you a brand new device, they will tell you it might be refurbished. I really hope I can save anyone and everyone reading this from buying an Xbox or any Microsoft accessories for Xbox. Spend the extra money to get a PS5.
