The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

It's great, but overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it a lot, but I feel like it was overpriced, even though it's being sold as a premium product. I really like the extra buttons on the back, and the fact that you can reprogram all the buttons. The extra long thumb stick is nice for extra precision. It feels good in the hands. It's heavier than the stock controllers, but not so much that it gets tiring to hold. The adjustable trigger travel distance is cool for shooters where you have to react quickly. The rubberized hand grips feel nice and keep my hands relatively cool. It comes with a nice zippered travel case with a built-in charging dock that can be used while it's in the case, or it can be removed from the case and used separately to charge the controller. I don't plan to take this anywhere, but I keep it in the case, next to my TV. I leave it closed, but unzipped, so it's still easy to access, but it keeps it from getting dust on it (I don't get time to play as often as I would like) Overall, if you play a lot of Xbox, it's probably a worthwhile investment.

Top tier
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely worth the upgrade if you are playing FPS titles. Quality is top tier, however the grips are still not the best. Microsoft should take a look at using similar material that is used on the Scuff controllers.

Elite controler

Necessary evil
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have to switch out your paddles to the new controller, but you can't switch out the joysticks from the older elite 1.

Buy this control!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best control in my opinion. Love the added triggers on the back of the remote and being able to customize all buttons is really helpful and useful.

Great but durability issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great until you start getting non-responsive bumpers or drift issues with thumb sticks.

Not sure it’s worth the price tag
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for Call of Duty but it’s not much more useful to me than a standard core controller. I only use 1 paddle for jumping/climbing. The deadzones need to be set at least 0.08 for the drifting to stop (this is a major issue in games where you can’t change the deadzone values.) Having all 4 paddles on is extremly uncomfortable and you’re bound to accidentally reload or swap weapons in a gun fight. Good news is they are removable. I have already had bluetooth issues with it on PC so I keep it plugged in. The trigger locks are kind of cool especially for semi auto weapons. If you find a use for all the features comfortably, this will work for you. I will probably be returning this in January.

Elite Elite Controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller all around - grippy texture, mappable buttons and paddles - and I always like using the long thumb stick on the left side and shorter one on the right

Best controller ever owned -- and most expensive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using this controller, I can't go back to a regular one! The weight, the texture, the feel is just amazing, and the paddles are great. It oozes premium quality... The interchangeable parts are very useful, but I find myself still using thumb joystick extenders. And the battery lasts SO LONG (easily all month with light use). Is it worth the INSANE price though?.... eek, probably not. This is a guilty pleasure, to be sure. There are also major build quality issues with this controller. Both sets I've owned have had issues with the 'A' button not registering unless pressed perfectly head-on. Considering that's your 'jump' button in most games, you can imagine how annoying that can be. There are lots of posts about this on the internet, and advice on how to fix it using tape/etc. Not something you expect to have to do for such a high-priced, premium piece of hardware.

Was a surprising gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife surprised me with this controller, after my Elite Series 2 right bumper took a crap on me. My only complaint is that the A button is a little stubborn. Other then that I really like this controller.

Ok product
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great and sturdy, a few things that would need improvements would be a removable joy stick because they seem to loosen pretty bad and the tightening sometimes its either too tight or too loose
