    Better than the standard controllers. But they do not last much since the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    Love how I don’t have to buy more batteries over and over. The grips help hold my controller better as well.

    I absolutely love playing with this controller. At first, I was hesitant because of the price but after a while I feel like the price is more than a bargain. I can use it for my Xbox, my computer and my cell phone. I can customize it for movies, individual games and streaming, soo much more. It's insanely customizable. The weight and durability are amazing. Gaming just isn't the same without it. By far one of my favorite purchases of all time. Don't even get me started on the battery life... It lasts for like 20 hrs, sometimes more.

    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    I think it’s a excellent controller , I’ve had 3 . I do play a lot . Especially FPS and for the most part these elite controllers give me a couple of years great use . It weighs about right and the customization options have been great. I know it’s costly but I really do feel like you get what you pay for . Microsoft also has a pretty good warranty with these controllers so I’m happy with my purchase

    Amazing controller helps a lot since you don’t have to move your fingers off your joy stick to press a b x y or anything on your d pad your also able to program the back pedals to many controllers and the multiple different joysticks help with aim and other things

    I had bought this controller when it first came out and decided to get a 2nd one for my 2nd xbox series x. It's definitely a major upgrade from the elite series 1 controller. The rubber grips are better and I love how I'm able to change the tension on the thumb sticks. The quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. Very easy to set up and update and map the buttons to your liking. My only con about this controller is that's it's a little more expensive than the original elite controller with only a couple of upgrades. I would definitely recommend this to any hardcore or pro player.

    This was my first elite controller and it really made a difference! Learning to map the buttons how you want is difficult at first but once you do it and adjust, you will notice a difference! My game play has been better and a lot of my online friends have noticed a difference. The grip makes it always a comfortable hold even during intense situations. Adjusting the trigger is amazing especially with shooter games, I have had people think I had a mod because my trigger finger with a pistol was incredible. Honestly these controllers are expensive, but well worth it in the long run if you are an avid gamer. Please buy the warranty with Best Buy, it's worth it in the long run.

    The greatest controller i've ever used, but it's not very durable. I've replaced it twice now, first because the right bumper failed, then because the grip started to become unglued after many hours of use and changed the shape of the controller. If you're going to buy this get the protection and replace it when, not if, it fails.

    Customization at your fingertips, and a USB-C connect and charge port for connecting to PC without Bluetooth. Great for gaming on the Xbox or PC. The included charging station is substantial enough to survive my kids, and uses a magnet to keep the controlled fit snugly while charging.
