Halo Infinite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know there have been a lot of backlash on this controller, and I can't comment on durability. I have enjoyed it a lot, and having extra paddles helps with playing games, so you can keep fingers on thimbsticks. Adding the 2 year protection plan from Best Buy also makes my mind at ease with durability. I would only buy it at best buy.

They got it right!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Leaps and bounds better than the 1st Gen. I was hesitant about getting it because of the bad drift I experienced on the 1st Gen version (on two separate controllers, too) but I am glad I did. Crisp performance and connects seamlessly with my Xbox.

Great Controller, Bad Longevity
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great premium controller until it inevitably succumbs to the faulty buttons or stick drift. I’ve gone through three while keeping it maintained with the upmost care.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, I was skeptical as I had the elite 1 and didn't see how it was going to be improved on. Well, internal reachable battery for one. Great feel on both sticks for 2 and included charger.

Blew away my expectations!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Takes your gameplay to a whole new level! Also so many customizations you can do. My favorite feature is that you just recharge it with usb-c and it last for days on a single charge.

Mehh, still disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Customization is great. Stick drift is still a massive problem. The Light up logo and color ability is neat. But for over $100 and the LS/RS hasn’t lasted a few months.

Happy to have replacement controller available
||Posted .

Very nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the previous Xbox Elite controller and really liked it. It’s rubber would wear off which I’m guessing may happen to this one as well. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because you can not change out the batteries on the new model. The whole controller has to be charged. I’d prefer to have a rechargeable battery pack and still be able to use normal batteries.

Good Controller
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 2 of these and like them better than the standard xbox controller. Like the rubber grip and the ability to add the flipper buttons. Allows for some customization and just feels good in your hands.
