Awesome controller and love the color of the remote control.

So far been using this controller for 2 weeks. No complaints, no stick drift noticed *yet* . Ive had 3 other elite controllers that all showed drifting anywhere from 1 week to couple months out. Hoping they solved issues. Does not come with paddles however i had plenty of others from previous ones.

I said i would never pay more then 60 bucks for a controller was at best buy and decided to give the elite a try i will never use a standard controller again the elite has improved my gaming in call of duty and lots of other games and the customizing of the controller is outstanding well done Microsoft

amazing controller easy to use will buy again if i need another controller would recommend this controller

This controller is good but is it the best? Ill never know. I only trust microsoft products for gaming as other controllers arnt labeled "Xbox" now. Do i think its worth it? Welp. Depends lol. Do you make 360 no scope trick shots and make your controllers beg for softer less manlier hands? If the answer is no then stick to your boring, worthless less cool standard controller. If you want those cool 460 non no scope tacticular cam kill kill killers ya gonna have to shell out the guap (Money) for the Elite. But good luck cus i have more hours in games then your grandma has hours in the kitchen so trust me. The regular controller is just fine! As far as upgrades from last year it has adjustable Thumbsticks (wich is the best upgrade IMO as my 360 no scope sensitivity demands a harder tug) and other cool customizations i could care less about.

Pricey but high quality and good feel. I use it with a PC via Bluetooth, Definitely an upgrade over my 360 controllers. Unfortunately the customization of the paddles on the back isn't working after I switch from USB cable to Bluetooth, so taking off a star for that. It essentially makes the paddles useless for me. So minus one star for that. Also I'd hear there was a drift issue with these so I asked if I could buy a service plan, but the clerk told me I had to pay for a Best Buy membership to buy a plan. So no plan, hopefully I can use the warranty if there is an issue. Odd when people won't take your money. I won't deduct a star for that since it doesn't reflect on the product, more of an issue with Best Buy.

It's a recent generation xbox controller, so it can easily connect to your windows pc without the need of a dongle. The back buttons... on the back... are a life-changer. I would personally have a hard time going back to a controller without back buttons. You can customize the back buttons -and I think the general buttons too- however you want. You can have up to 4 back buttons in total and they are all removable. So if you are unsure about using them all at once, you can simply ease into it. The price is expensive, so make sure to properly think if you want such a product, but it is cheaper than getting the xbox core controller and the separate accessories. Great to play on your xbox or if you like to use controllers for your pc, it is easy to do so.

This controller is my favorite one. It makes competitive gaming easy.

I had and still use the original Elite controller (that one is now used on my desktop). This controller lives up to the reputation of the original and improves it. It's lighter yet more substantial when you are holding it. It has excellent battery life, and the feel of all the keys are mostly solid. I love the new size of the back paddles. Before I was always hitting them when I sat the controller down (which is a pretty big deal when watching Netflix or OneGuide video content). This one, I haven't registered a key press at all when I sit the controller down. Also, I love the charging stand. I keep the stand in my case and just charge when I'm not using it for a day or so. The case is a well designed accessory. +5 stars What I don't like, the built in batteries. I fear that eventually burn in memory will present as an issues, and I won't be able to replace the batteries -- Minus .5 stars. I also think this controller is priced too high -- Minus .5 stars. Other thoughts -- some have said the build quality is still an issue, particularly from units bought from BestBuy. I can say, I haven't had a single issue with build quality.

it has a solid quality feel about it. great response time. will continue to purchase, if need be, in the future. great product.

Best controller for pc or Xbox charge wire is really good

Great controller at an awesome sale price. I would recommend you buy while on sale.

I had the original Elite Series 2 controller so I didn’t need the extra accessories for this controller. The white on black color scheme looks so dope. The cheaper price is also a plus if you don’t mind not having the paddles and thin sticks! Great controller!

While the controller is expensive, the build quality and customization makes it well worth it. Once you use this controller, all other controllers will feel like cheap pieces of plastic. They’ve finally fixed the bumper issue that’s plagued Xbox one controllers from the beginning. The amount of customization you have is incredible. You can assign a button to be a shift toggle that turns other buttons to become other buttons. You adjust your triggers to 3 different settings allowing you to pull the trigger faster since they’ll be less travel. You can even adjust the thumbstick tension. On top of all that it comes with changeable D-Pad, analog sticks, and paddles. All this is packed into a nice case that allows you to charge the controller. The cradle can be removed if you so choose and you can change the controller while playing by plugging the USB-C straight into the controller. Some people won’t like the fact that you can’t change the batteries but I’ve been getting easily 40-60 hours of battery life per charge. And on a final note, you can assign button profiles to the controller and can easily swap between 3 of them this time around instead of 2. There’s even a default setting so there’s technically 4 hot-swappable profiles. Overall I highly recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys gaming. I honestly think It’ll enhance everyone’s experience, even if there’s a slight learning curve for the paddles. I’d also recommend the Best Buy warranty. The standard warranty is only 90 days and if you’re gonna be spending $180 on a controller I’d spend the extra $20-$30 for the 2 year protection plan. While I haven’t had any trouble with it yet, I’ve seen some people online have problems with theirs.

Great add on for XboxX accessory. Love the color and speed.

I love my new elite controller! Beautiful finish with the matte black.

Love the controller its an upgrade from my old one.

This is the best controller I have ever played with! The buttons are very responsive, the ability to change sensitivity on that trigger buttons is amazing, and the paddle buttons on the back feel great. I mostly play Fortnite and I use the most sensitive setting for my right trigger and the middle sensitivity for my left trigger. It’s taking me a bit to switch to using my back buttons instead of using the buttons on the front, but I’ll get there with more practice! The looks are great as well, but my favorite part is the magnetic charging station. I just lay the controller back in its case and it immediately starts charging! I don’t have to move it around first to make it work either. 10/10 would recommend. If it was $30-40 cheaper, I think these would be flying off the shelves!

I can't go back to using another controller. The trigger locks and rubber grips make a big difference.

Its what you need. If you need a reliable simple and comfortable controller this is it. Officially licensed and backed by a big company, anything goes wrong(which it does it being heavily abused during online gameplay) then you have xbox 1 year warranty. Feels nice in the hands. Also has rechargeable batteries the way it should.
