    Everything about this device screams quality. I love the feel of it. It seems a little heavier, but overall feels very good in my hands. What blows me away is the battery life. I had gotten used to the older controllers so when I started using this I was surprised that I didn't have to charge after several hours of game play. A few days later, the same. A few days more... It seemed to take forever for me to have to charge the device. I love it! I've had it for a bit and it just consistently performs.

    I enjoy this controller a lot more then it’s predecessor. Grip all around were hands are plced. The sticks are even more precise and responsive. Battery life is exceptional playing 4-6 hours on my days off and not having to charge frequently. Having a case with built in charging when setting down controller or having it in case is a great feature. Setting controller up with different button setting is awesome. Haven’t really used as of yet but a nice option. Have only played Call of Duty Warzone so far with this controller. It gives me a huge advantage compared to the standard xbox controller I used. My response time is amazing.

    Not a really good gamer, so anything that helps is a plus. First time owning elite series. The controller feels very solid and haven't had any problems like the complaints I have seen online (A button sticking, etc). I think it's helped and my only complaint is I'm not quite used to the paddles--they make it hard to get a good grip without accidentally pressing them. That means I'm accidentally switching your primary weapon to melee while under fire in a FPS match.... :/ I don't plan to disable or remove the paddles because I want to get used to using them. I'm ditching my 2015-era Xbox One for the XBox One-X so let's see how this performs with the new rig!

    There's a lot of reviews out there discrediting this controller as being unreliable or easily damaged. I've had it for four months now and play almost every day and have had zero issues. I did, however, purchase the replacement plan to cover myself in case there are some issues down the road, but everything's good so far. Feels premium and built in battery and charging dock are super convenient.

    Love all the features of this controller, feels solid and of good quality. Some people complain about the weight but it makes it feel premium to me. I suggest get the the geek squad protection since I feel like no controller is safe from the eventual stick drift or a button messing up.

    Comes in a great case for carrying and storage. Works as intended - feels far better than the XBox One controller I was using prior to this. I am using on PC, and the paddles and adjustability of the controller makes fore a great product. Little pricey, but worth the investment if you game at all and need a solid controller.

    Great feel to the sticks, buttons, and triggers. The customization through the console is great if you take the time to adjust everything carefully. I have an older model with the paddles (extra purchase on this model) and I can remove them and put them on this one when I want to. Overall a much better controller than the standard Xbox controller.

    I am not knocking the controller because I am an ages long PS fanboy. I use this for my gaming PC setup as many steam games tend to be Xbox setup in controller formatting and it is just easier. This is a comfortable unit with a good battery life. No lag in responses... and I love the color. However, I think almost $90 is a high price for a controller... The cost is my only complaint.

    I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it! The feel and the movement of the joysticks are very fluent and the back buttons he is so happy they are there when he needs them! Wish it came in many different colors but he is happy with red.

    A bit pricey. But overall, this is a good controller. Grips are textured, and do not feel cheap like some other controllers do. The adjustable thumbsticks are awesome and helped me get my aiming under control. Plus, the thumbsticks do not feel like cheap plastic either. The battery life is awesome as well, plus the box comes with a 10 foot charging cord, just no wall plug. Overall, definitely recommend this controller.

    Xbox Elite series controller SHINES ABOVE THE REST

    After using the Xbox elite series controller for about a month now I feel that I can leave a solid and honest review. I have tried and used multiple Xbox controllers that have paddles and are capable of custom button mapping. The xbox app for the Xbox elite series controller allows you to custom map EVERY ASPECT of the controller. So much so that I am able to turn down the responsiveness and speed at which the input for the left and right stick acceleration depending on the parameters that I set. It sets so well and comfortably in my hands. Simply put, it is hands down the best controller i have ever used. Thats including Fusion and Turtle Beach brands. The cost is minimal at best for such a controller in my opinion. I have had to return and exchange numerous controllers that were previously stated. Given the costs (Turtle Beach alone being over $200) of the competitors products and the craftsmanship I had expexted to be set for the foreseeable future, however that was never the case. I have had ZERO issues with my Xbox elite series controller. The battery is PHENOMENAL and the charge time is MINIMAL at best.
