    Love the new version of this controller & it feels less bulky than the previous one. Have had it a few months and it works excellent.

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    I was worried about stick drift when I first got this controller and returned it originally before deciding I would buy it again, but it's yet to happen to me and I really enjoy this controller. Ironically, Xbox has perfected and redone the design over the past couple years instead of releasing an Elite Series 3. Additionally, they purposefully made the Xbox Series X controllers small, and I think it was so people would buy the bigger Elite Series 2 controller. Because that's why I bought it, the regular Xbox Controllers and smaller and awful compared to this.

    Love/Hate Relationship with these controllers. Without a doubt better than any aftermarket controllers (Scuf). Purchased to replace a worn out Elite Series 2. Unfortunately right out of the box the back button broken.

    Ive been using elite controlles since the first edition. I play primalrily fps titles as well as Smite competitively. Other than the weight of the elite controllers, ive enjoyes them. They're comfortable and versatile. Paddle options and custimization are very good and the overall quality of the build is pretty good. Had it not been for me dropping my controllers fairly regularly, i wouldn't have to replace them. Overall, very good contriller.

    Awesome gift to give at an affordable cost, the upgrades in the next level up can still be purchased but separately still being microsoft. The handling is a great combination of grip and sleekness, even looks great.

    Great controller. The adjustable triggers and back paddles are why I purchased, but the different joysticks and how customizable the sensitivity and dead zones are is a massive benefit as well.

    the paddles in the back make this controller superior to the standard xbox controller. the black and silver looks sleek. my only complaint is the r2 and L2 buttons stop working after a while and the controller needs to be replaced after a year. (I will still probably keep getting this controller unless something more durable comes out)

    Been an xbox gamer since the very beginning. This is the absolute best controller I've ever used. The ability to customize the pull on the triggers was huge. I like them on the midpoint setting so if you're playing FPS it takes less time and there is also a hair trigger option as well. The extra buttons on the back are customizable and make it great for certain games where you don't want to take your right thumb off the stick to hit a face button. Its a lot heavier than the original controller but all the components are higher quality. And the texturized grips on the handles make for non slip and feel good. Battery life lasts a long time and its internal. Overall price is what it is but you're getting really good quality for what you're purchasing.

    The best controller out there, but be sure to get a service plan. I've had a few Elites and all but one have had an issue where one of the bumpers stops responding. Other than that it's by far the best controller for PC and for Xbox, obviously.

    Great Controller! But worth the price tag...?

    I got this as a Christmas gift and have really enjoyed it thus far. I really love the feel and grip of this controller, along with the customization that comes with the interchangeable pieces (which require no tools/all magnetic). As a more “casual” gamer, while I really do enjoy it, I’m not certain I’d say personally that it’s worth near $200 and not certain I’d buy it on my own had I not recorded it as a gift. For more hard core games, maybe, but if you’re a more casual gamer, I don’t know if there’s just that much more value in this over a standard, far less expensive XBox controller. But if you’re getting as a gift (for free) or just got the money to burn, it’s definitely a great controller.
