    Disappointed

    Pretty displeased. I bought this on January 2024. Couple years back I bought the Elite series black controller and it started going out so I figured I give this one a shot since it was cheaper. First and foremost it does NOT have all the additional buttons that the other controller has. Moreover, within a month of owning this controlle. For a $130 controller I expect something thats going to last abit longer than 2 months. Overall, get the black Elite. Not this hunk of junk.

    Its the best controller ive ever had, however the price is very steep. Ive had some really amazing controllers just below this one in my rankings, and the prices were very different. I wish it were just a bit Cheaper.

    Eh they keep breaking

    For a while, it works really great, but eventually the bumpers go out. I’ve gone through multiple elite controllers and now two core controllers. Same problems on all of them. Maybe my grip strength needs to calm down, but the more likely option is multi connectors within the controller that allow the actuator button to break off after a period of time.

    wasn’t expecting to like it as much as i did, it’s really a good feekpling controller and the customization is very nice, i have different “modes” for different games.

    Best Controller I Have Tried So Far!

    The aesthetics of the controller drew me in along with the built in rechargeable battery. Also have the ability to remove the toggles for longer ones is great. The d-bad also can be swapped out for a traditional d pad style button. The rear paddles make it handy when playing COD so you can slide cancel, jump, and move flawlessly throughout the game.

    Amazing controller for a competitive edge. Very responsive quick triggers and the paddles work great The case doubles as a charger which I love. Keeps everything looking sharp when I’m finishing gaming.

    The only think i have an issue with is that the RB and LB buttons seem to always have some issue. So I would recommend protection.

    Nothing more need be said than I love this controller! I use the paddles underneath to make actions like sprinting and melees easier to perform. I have 4 separate setups -- 2 PCs and an XBOX X and an XBOX S. This controller completes the set (4th one). I use it and another one wired for my PCs and wireless for my XBOXs.

    Super easy to use and customize, good grip for those sweating gaming sessions. Only thing missing is the good old capture button for pictures and videos, otherwise 10/10

    I’ve always used the controllers that come with the Xbox system, but then I bought the elite. GET YOU ONE! The mapping, feel, and tweaks you can do with this controller is far beyond my expectations. Worth the money.

    Excellent Functionality and customization, though it is very expensive, the price jump over the original was a bit unnecessary. the rubber grips are a big help for sweaty gaming sessions, and the rechargable battery is a nice touch, although it is a shame that it is built-in and non removable.

    The controller has been working great it exactly what I wanted, I’ve been using it for 3 weeks so far and playing with it has been fun. I would recommend if you want an elite controller without the other accessories.

    This controller thus far after a few weeks has none of the problems the other controllers have displayed. Usually these guys have bumpers that stop registering, or face buttons that get sticky but this unit has had none of that. Hopefully it continues.
