Best competitive controller out there
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having owned the 1st elite series controller I didn’t think this one would be that much better, but I was wrong. This controller improves almost every aspect of the Series 1. The wrap around grips are excellent. My series 1 grips started to fall off and I don’t see that being a problem on this one. I love that it’s slightly smaller than the 1st. Because of that I can actually use all 4 back paddles comfortably. The thumbsticks and triggers feel great. The controller now has a rechargeable battery built in and can be charged by placing it on the charger that’s in it’s case. Overall a great improvement and a fantastic controller. If you play call of duty, Fortnite, etc you need this controller.

Exceptional
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The feel and battery life of this controller are fantastic. I have to charge it about every other month. Just hate that to avoid disposable batteries, this or buying a rechargeable battery pack in 2024 is the way to do so. Other than that, I don’t regret this product at all.

best controller for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth the buy for sure. A little pricey but if you want a controller that will last with interchangeable parts this is the route to go.

Elite controllers are terrible and unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned three elite controllers since they came out. I have owned two series 1’s. A first gen and another about a year later (hoping the bugs were worked out). The first had the button sticking issue they were all plagued with. The other had trigger issues sticking/not responding as well as the menu buttons not responding. Both of these were returned. Now I own one of the series 2’s and they’re just as bad. I bought one and immediately had to return it. It had some sticky black rubber stuck on the right stick that locked the stick up. The one I have now works but it is not worth the price. Absolute waste of money and I will not be buying another. The controller that comes with the console lasted longer.

Over priced under expectations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller is very comfortable. When playing the controller somehow would select As i pressed the Y button and changing the screen view. I have been playing this same game for years with "regular" MS controller no problems. Configured the button not to be used. This was a mistake when it changed my view i could not change it back! Although very comfortable and seemingly well built will be returning the controller. Thank you for the Best buy total membership for extended returns. Very over priced for what you get. At least in my opinion.

Best price I've seen for this.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not know that you can charge the controller while it is in the case. Nice feature. Only feature it doesn't have that I would like is an auto rapid press feature.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. I’ve owned the previous generation elite controller and this is a great upgrade. The paddles are smaller which helps me from accidentally pressing them all the time. The controller feels better overall.

Best controller I have ever used
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I have ever used. I honestly stopped playing my Playstation 4 because of this controller. Battery life, customization and most of all the tension control on the joysticks are amazing.

No charging
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid controller. Crappy bumpers. But all Xbox controllers have terrible bumpers. Overall, it’s worth the price for the amazing battery in this thing. I barely have to charge it

Great and have not had stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was worried about stick drift when I first got this controller and returned it originally before deciding I would buy it again, but it's yet to happen to me and I really enjoy this controller. Ironically, Xbox has perfected and redone the design over the past couple years instead of releasing an Elite Series 3. Additionally, they purposefully made the Xbox Series X controllers small, and I think it was so people would buy the bigger Elite Series 2 controller. Because that's why I bought it, the regular Xbox Controllers and smaller and awful compared to this.

Xbox Elite
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

Surprisingly worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IMHO the price point on this controller is a real blocker. I would have tried one years ago at $100, maybe even $130, but near $200 for a controller is a lot to ask. That being said, thanks to not going out for a year I've saved enough money to justify this kind of opulence and I'm glad I went for it. It comes with a charging dock you can rest it on which is nice. I'm mainly a single player gamer so having 1 controller constantly charged is a big deal. I dropped the flippers on the back and swapped out joysticks. The directional pad is an improvement (and you can swap it out too if you disagree). You don't need this controller, but if you're interested and have money to burn you have my blessing.
