Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great controller, just know if you're a rough gamer the anologs catch stick drift fast and the LB and RB bumbers wear out fast so buy warranty

Too much stick drift for being brand new.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good controller but it seems to have too much stick drift for being a brand new controller. I looked online to see if other people were having this issue and it turns out a lot of people have had this issue over the last year. Microsoft extended their warranty up to a year for the controller instead of the 90 days they first established but this issue should have been fixed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Exceeds expectations.

Can’t recommend sadly
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s hard to recommend this controller especially at this price. After about six months it developed significant stick drift, just like it’s predecessor. Since then, Microsoft has replaced it twice for me, which I’m grateful for since it was $200, but that window is now closed and when it inevitably starts drifting again I’ll be out of luck. If you can get it on sale and you don’t mind repairing it yourself, maybe it’s worth buying, but if stick drift is a deal breaker for you just walk away.

A pro gamers tool of choice.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is absolutely the best controller on the market. There's simply no other controller out there that gives you this level of fine tuning, not to mention the build quality being great. Price is steep.

Elite

Elite Series is the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literally the best Xbox controller out there, customization is top notch.
I would recommend this to a friend Kind of Dated, But Still the Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little on the pricey side, especially for how old this model is, but on sale it is definitely still one of the best Xbox/PC controllers you can get. Lots of customization options, and the included charging stand is a nice added bonus. I've tried other controllers, but this one is hands down my favorite.
