    Out of the "High end" controllers, this one ranks best for functionality and ease of use. The extra bits for the button re-mapping and trigger stops, along with the joystick tensioner make a difference in game

    I do not know how to use all of the back buttons on the controller. It comes with one little magnetic piece to connect it but that's it. Other than that it is definitely a solid controller

    All the time I had bought low quality controls, now that I have this I can say that when you buy quality you feel the difference. Much more efficiency, high battery performance.

    Clean sexy controller , too bad Microsoft cheaped out and couldn’t add the additional paddles and accessories. If you go out and buy them separately you end up spending more than If you just bought the elite 2 controller

    This controller is AMAZING! I am a long time console gamer, and about 2 years ago I built a gaming PC. Moving over to the keys took some getting used to but once I was comfortable with it, I swore I would never use a controller again. Fast forward to Elden Ring dropping and just seems like the game was MADE FOR controller. So I went and picked up the Xbox Elite and I was super impressed. The build quality is very good, the swappable sticks are all magnets and hold perfectly. The rear buttons also pop on and off without tools giving you the option to remove them if not in use. All of it is packaged in a great carrying case that can be left plugged in via USB C, allowing the controller to charge when in storage. If you are looking for a quality controller, and have been considered this one… BUY IT! You will not be disappointed.

    This was bought for my grandson for Christmas. He loves the controller. It’s wireless so it gives you a little more freedom of movement.

    While I’m partial to the PS controllers due to not liking the feel of stock XBox controllers, this one is amazing. It’s got great weight, and feels like a premium product. The personalization options are great and it’s very easy to setup. If you play a lot of games, get one. Your hands deserve it.

    excellent controller with the same feel as the original Elite 2 controller, just without the included triggers/adapters (which I didn’t really use anyway); great value for the price

    I love my new Xbox controller. It works great and I love that you can lock down the trigger buttons so you only have to push them down half way!

    I think this is a great controller, until it breaks. I've had about 10 of these and the series 1 in total. BUY THE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY. It's worth every penny. The usual things that break are the left bumper button and usb connection if you choose to plug it in. It's fantastic until it breaks, I just with the quality control was better on these, but I love the feel, the weight and customization compared to a stock xbox controller

    Absolutely love this controller, I didn’t t think there would be much difference, or enough difference between this and the regular controllers to warrant buying the better one but wow!!! It’s soooooo much better than the regular ones. The respon time is so much faster, and smoother controls. Love it

    I purchased this specifically because it offers three levels of tension for the joysticks. As someone who has hand tremors due to Parkinson’s disease, adjusting the joystick tension so it is harder to move reduces the negative effect of my tremors. I also like having an additional position for trigger pull depth. To further fine tune the triggers you can us the Xbox app to change the point at which the trigger reacts to your pull. I created a dead spot at the beginning of my left trigger pull because I was unintentionally putting tension on the trigger. So if I jumped in Destiny 2 it would cancel my jump. Now I have no issues. On the downside after a few days of use, the right trigger started squeaking verhy loudly. I searched YouTube and found a video that recommended using a dry lube like WD40 Teflon spray. Worked like a charm for me. Microsoft only offers a 90 day warranty so I recommend buying the extended warranty from Best Buy.
