    Honestly it sucks what you have to go thru to find a 100% working controller, i had returned 2 from batch 2035 and found 1 from batch 2034 and have no issues. Quality control aside its great Microsoft increased their warranty to 1 year. The controller itself is super cool though and everything you get with it, the nice case, the charger, interchangeable parts, and the settings you can tweak from the vibration on each motor to the brightness of the logo. Quality issues aside its really a dope gamers controller.

    Unfortunately it had to be returned because one of the thumb sticks would stick in whichever direction it was pushed. But I'm sure overall they are fine. I simply got a replacement and have not had any problems with the 2nd elite controller since.

    Got this at a deal i couldnt pass up. This open box item appeared brand new, and had all accessories with it. Really a great purchase. Controller feels awesome, dedinitely a huge quality bump. The weight, configuration options, no complaints.

    I really like this controller because they fell nice in your hand but the quality is questionable. I bought an open box and everything worked great except for one button that you needed to press hard to register anything. Make sure you test all the buttons if you buy this. Button can be remapped to their rear buttons if you want to do that.

    Overall this isis a solid product. The only problem I really have with it is the paddles are sort of it an awkward position. My hands start to cramp up because of it; so I find myself not even using them most of the time. The overall aesthetic of it is a nice touch.

    We got our first one towards the end of last year to replace a failing Elite 1 controller. Unfortunately, the controller we got had the oft reported button problems. Upon return, it took almost a week to get the replacement. This one did work correctly. From a gameplay perspective, though, it is an excellent controller. Its programability is good. The paddles are a huge improvement over the original Elite. It feels better in the hand, as well. One big plus is that the hand grips are still solidly attached after almost a quarter of a year. On both prior Elites, they had started to peel off by this time. That is a great step forward. This is the best of the wireless controllers available. If you get it, though, I would STRONGLY recommend getting the Geek Squad extended warranty. For most purchases I would never get it. For the Elite controller, I promise you, you will need it eventually. At the very least, you will want to trade it in for a new one before the warranty expires. Then spend the few bucks for a warranty on the replacement. Just be warned, the price for that warranty has gone up a bit. That tells you something about the quality issues. Nevertheless, once you do get a good controller you will be quite happy with it. If you can use a wired controller, you might want to look at the Razer. If you need wireless, this is probably the best option. (I personally am not that fond of Scuff.)

    Pros - it is a great feeling controller with a lot of options. It takes a little getting use to the paddles underneath, but once you do you will not want to go back. Cons - it seems to not be as quick to respond as it states. I play a lot of CoD and it seems to have a slightly slower response time than a $180 controller should have. Overall - I like it. I wish it were a bit less expensive, but it is a nice controller.

    Best Controller Ever

    BEST CONTROLLER AVAILABLE! The lack of hall-effect joysticks is disappointing, but Gulikit holds the patent on using them in controllers. Near infinite customization, better bluetooth connection with Windows PCs, and good battery life. It got me to use my PC more, instead of relying on my Steam Deck or ROG Ally.

    Battery life is great! And the most comfortable controller I own. Love that you can change the sensitivity on the sticks and triggers. Haven’t had any drift issues in the year and many hours I’ve been using it.

    only reason is not 5 stars is the grip started to fall off 6months after purchasing. For the price i dont find this acceptable, but the upgrades this has over the first gen version it is much better over all and i daily drive this still to the day.

    I didnt realize this was the all plastic one when I bought it, I thought it would have metal parts like my old one that lasted like 8 years. I dont use the wierd sticks or bottom buttons, so honestly I shouldve just saved some money and bought a basic controller.

    I use a controller for PC and I had a normal controller, then a normal elite and its charging port finally gave out and decided to try this guy out. Ive had it for about almost 2 weeks now and it is the best/most comfortable controller I have owned, also I think my normal Elite was just worn out because this one drastically improved my running game in Madden 21 on PC and my aiming in COD. The feel is nice and grippy and has a nice weight. All the customizations are awesome as well. Overall improvement to the original!

    Adaptive and fun controller. It is not recommended for the novice or occasional player. After about a month of play, one of the sticks malfunction and began exhibiting phantom momements. Eventually exchanged it under the total care plan for a replacement. Fingers Crossed!
