    Love this compared to standard controller. Good for first person shooters and lo NF gaming sessions. RB button has issues with double presses on own and bad stick drift out of the box.

    Amazing controller, everything you would ever need/want. Although the durability is horrible, everything starts to wear down, even the trigger locks. Although they did increase the base warranty to a full year so that’s why I made it a 4 star.

    I don't know about the bottom flippers as I haven't used them. I really like it as the weight is good make you feel as though it is a substantial controller rather than the flimsy aftermarket controllers that are sold. I bought it because the xbox that I bought only had a flimsy aftermarket controller (wired at that)

    My right joystick started to drift after about a month of use :( The weight, paddles, attachments, and accessories are all well made and felt great to hold however!

    Quality control issues continue.

    The controller and peripherals included look and feel premium; however, the well documented QC issues cripple what could have been an awesome controller. Day 1, within the first 2 hours, the right thumbstick started dragging and sticking and the A button wouldn't register each press. If you're willing to pay for an extended warranty, and take the time to return defective units when they fail, you may enjoy this controller.

    Overall the elite series have been a better choice for xbox only thing i wish they would change is the joysticks to the new magnetic ones to stop the terrible stick drift problem that all console makers have

    Bought for my son. A Christmas present. He loves the remote and says its much better than the one that came with the unit. The controller is comfortable in hand and buttons are easy to reach! Microsoft got this remote right when they made this one.

    The best xbox controller I've ever used. This thing is great. It doesn't feel like its cheaply made because it has the proper weight a controller should have. The customizable buttons are great additions even though I rarely use them. Having a USB-C case case that serves as a charging is great to have

    Purchased as a replacement/upgrade for the 3 Elite V1's I've owned over the past several years. Right off the bat, the controller feels more thought out. The grips feel nice. The built in battery is a huge plus. USB-C is the natural progression and the fact that it will be compatible with next gen/Project Scarlet is HUGE. The paddles aren't as large, so they feel more organic.

    Good but there are better for cheaper. If you want a high end controller go for it but there are cheaper options that are just as good.

    Controller is great. Quality feels good. But man you just have to roll the dice. Some of these are flawless and will last for years, but my first one wouldnt even turn on. Thank gosh for best buy return policies!!
