They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Excellent quality and easy to use. Setup may be difficult for some, but after some time spent, well worth it.

    Love these controllers

    Would have given 5 star but left joystick is a little wonky. I don't think that it's due to the fact that it was refurbished. I think it's because these controllers in general suffer from that issue.

    Works fantastic! My boyfriend loves the response time, vibration and customizability compared to the standard controller. Super ergonomic too. I'll definitely purchase the new series when it's out.

    Very good controller, everything about this controller feels very premium and pro. Buttons feel good and bumpers and triggers feel pretty firm you can tell they didn’t use any cheap material, love this controller.

    It doesn’t come with the bumpers so you have to buy them separately. I would just build a custom one through Microsoft instead of buying this.

    Replaced 2 of these now. On my third BUT I LOVE THEM. Either take very good care of them or get the warranty, I cannot express enough how much I love this controller.

    This controller has allowed me to gain an advantage on players with my paddle installation. I have been accused of cheating and several hate comments due to me dominating. Thank you.

    It’s a good controller but the small nub things on the back for the triggers broke off within a couple months. At around a year the bumpers stopped working. I was able to bind the bumper to one of my paddles that I didn’t use as often so I could press that instead of the bumper.

    Great controller. Feels well built and is customizable. Lasted a couple years, wish it still stayed together but had a lot of use.

    It WILL break, lousy warranty coverage.

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

    I love my elite. It was purchased to replace a stock controller that had gotten horrible drift. Unfortunately, almost immediately after the warranty (90 days) expired it ALSO started to drift. Now it drifts on BOTH sticks and Microsoft flatly states that the warranty coverage expires after 90 days so, to summarize: For $179.95 Microsoft guarantees a working controller for 3 months. After that, you're on your own. This happens to all of them, there is a class action lawsuit against Microsoft already for this exact problem.

    The controller itself is awesome and useful for gaming but omg its a piece of poop. Multiple things have broken/don’t work properly and there has been some stick drift as well. Only have had it for for <4 months. Microsoft are such scammers

    Broken Bumpers

    I was excited when Microsoft announced this controller because they specifically talked about bumper and stick drag durability. Both of my bumpers are broken after 4 months of having this controller. Unacceptable seeing as they cost $180

    Was great till it wasn't

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

    The controller worked great for about 10 days. I loved the hair trigger option and the ability to configure the paddles. This was the first one I bought because I was skeptical of paying that kind of price for a controller but I went through a few of the $60 ones just one normal use so I figured why not get this one and not have to buy another one. However, 10 days in, the right trigger is squeaking really bad now and it is only when it is on the lowest setting for the hair trigger. Ugh.. I guess I am going to have to return it.
