    Great hand feel, good response, and nice looking. Be prepared for some weird glitches starting out if you use this with a PC and Steam and Windows 11. I've seemingly settled mine down, but when I first started using the controller, hitting the "A" button would open the Xbox game bar...usually in the middle of the game I was playing...usually at the worst possible time. It's a known issue that has mostly been sorted out. That said - the first time you run into these kinds of issues will sour you a little on the controller. Price point is too high. This is an $70-80 controller in my opinion. Still good - just spendy and can have a lumpy first use experience for PC users.

    Very solid controller with a nice weight to it. Adjustable tension in the thumbsticks is great and the charging dock inside the case was a really nice surprise. My only negatives are the lack of extra paddles being included and there not being a medium height thumbstick, the tall thumbstick is just a bit to tall for my liking.

    This is the 2nd Elite controller I got within 6 months and the joysticks are sticking again to the point you can't play. For the price, this is a complete joke. It's not a BestBuy issue, but a manufacturing issue. I don't like that I had to pay for a warranty twice ($120) to make sure I can replace again. At this point, I don't want another controller, I just want my money back. Not worth it, look at something else.

    If you are a pro gamer or consider yourself to be great at the gaming on PC or Xbox you owe yourself the extra buttons and customizations and options that this controller can open. I have bought this controller three times two on sale and one full price.

    This is a good gaming controller. Depending on how you treat your controllers it'll get stick drift. I use this controller only for fighting and fps games. The stick drift does t move on its own. The extra button only in handy with farming/ mining games. The extra buttons are not customizable. Just an extension for the other buttons xyba. Other than that it's a great buy. Feels good in the hands has a good weight

    It's super comfortable to hold, with a great ergonomic design that allows for extended gaming sessions without any discomfort. The buttons are responsive and perfectly placed, providing precise control over your games. The thumbsticks give just the right amount of resistance, offering smooth and accurate movement. And let's not forget about the rumble feature that adds an extra layer of immersion to your gaming experience. Whether you're playing action-packed shooters or engaging in fast-paced sports games, the Xbox controller delivers unmatched performance. It's a must-have accessory for any serious gamer!

    Great controller love the weight. Only thing I don’t like is that sometimes while gaming the sticks will start to unscrew mid gaming. Make sure you keep tight with the tool.

    Better than ever.... so I'm the grandmom for a gamer that just turned 17 on the 4th of December. He absolutely loves this controller and sent me a screen shot saying "I need this". So I certainly know that he researches things awhile before he asks me and he is very happy with it.

    Disappointing Controller

    I recently purchased a new controller from Best Buy hoping to resolve the stick drift issues I had with my previous controller. However, my experience with the new controller right out of the box has been quite disappointing. Upon opening the box and plugging in the controller, I immediately noticed a significant stick drift problem. The analog stick would constantly move downwards and to the left, even when I wasn't touching it. This stick drift was so severe that it caused my screen to continuously scroll in those directions without any input from me. Considering the issues I had with my previous controller, I expected the replacement to work flawlessly. Unfortunately, the stick drift on this new controller was even worse than before, making it virtually unusable for gaming. As a customer, it is disheartening to encounter such a fundamental flaw in a brand new product. I believe it reflects poorly on the quality control and assurance measures of the store and the manufacturer. I would urge Best Buy to take note of these issues and ensure that the controllers they sell are thoroughly tested and free from defects before they reach the customers. I hope that this feedback helps them improve their product offerings and provide a better experience for future customers. Overall, my experience with the new controller purchased from Best Buy was highly unsatisfactory due to the persistent stick drift issues. I would recommend potential buyers to exercise caution and thoroughly test the controller before making a purchase to avoid similar disappointments.
