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

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

Elite controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love owning an elite controller. If you’re a hardcore gamer I would recommend obtaining one
I would recommend this to a friend Doesn't Have Rear Paddles/Buttons!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use a Scuf Reflex PS5 controller for a lot of my gaming that has rear paddle buttons. Some of the games launched on my PC through the XBox app don't play nicely with that controller so I thought I would pick up an equivalent XBox controller. Much to my dismay there aren't any rear paddles on this "elite" controller!!!!! I never would have even thought to check if that's something an "elite" controller came with or not...the PlayStation equivalent includes them. Disappointed that XBox/Microsoft would even have this as an option and wouldn't explicitly call out that there are no paddles on this "elite" controller. But I do have spaces where paddles are supposed to go that I can look at I guess. Not sure what the point of this controller is compared to the standard XBox controller.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfect , wished it came with the back pads aswell though
I would recommend this to a friend Wish I Got it Sooner
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a fantastic upgrade and is worth every penny. I was in the crowd of those who would never pay extra for a controller until the one that came with my Xbox got the dreaded joy-con drift. So I picked this up for myself, and trust me, I'll never use a different controller for Xbox or PC.

Amazing Controller!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the main reason why I got Xbox Series X instead of Ps5 is because of this controller. A true premium controller. Excellent!

great controller, but guaranteed to break.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.controllers a necessity for gaming. Its just too expensive, and its guaranteed to break, so get yourself that replacement plan. Im on my 3rd elite 2, as the RB/LB keeps breaking, or the little adhesive pads inside behind the triggers gets stuck and the triggers start sticking. This should be prices at $99.99

Same issues
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bumpers wear out annoyingly easily long time weakness of the elite controllers you'd think they would have fixed by now.
