    The best Xbox controller! It is hard for me to imagine going back to the standard controller. The weight and hold of the controller and the exclusion of the extras make this controller a bargain.

    Its comfortable, sturdy and well made. The customization options are really worth it, especially being able to adjust tension on the joysticks. Being able to change things for your playing style is well worth it. The cost is a bit high though.

    The Best Controller I have ever owned. Great Battery Life, Great Feel and customizable! I was skeptical at first because of price, but I got it on sale and should have purchased it sooner! If you are considering it, don't hesitate, just buy it!

    These were Christmas gifts for my 14 year old and 19 year old. They love them and how customizable they are. I did catch them on sale plus got to use my best buy earned credits so that was great as well.

    I use this on PC and I find it to be a stellar controller, even more so as a guy that came from console to PC. I do use it connected and not over Bluetooth, however the responsiveness, weight, and overall feel are among the best I’ve ever used. The highly recommended this controller to any console or PC gamer!

    It’s really good it feels comfortable. I have no issues with it works great. The only problem I had that it doesn’t like work with Bluetooth with my PC but I think I have a bad Bluetooth receiver on my PC so that is not something I have against the controller I plug. It’s a braided wire that comes with it and it works really great. Mind you it is a cheaper version of the elite so it doesn’t come with the back paddle. You have to buy those separately, but I don’t actually use them much so I don’t worry about it.

    Though a little on the pricey end, i love my elite series controller. The build and quality of the controller is perfect and it’s definitely the best looking and especially best feeling controller I’ve probably ever used. Would recommend to anyone willing to splurge for the best quality you can buy. Definitely do research on if you’re willing to deal with the problems the controller may get over time, mostly just bumpers being unresponsive for some reason. That is the only downside and I wish a newer model would address this problem in the future or else it would really really be a perfect controller.

    While heavier than many other controllers, including other cheaper Xbox controllers, it remains comfortable and the battery life is impressive.

    I’ve had an elite controller in the past that had some issues (button sticking, mild stick drift even after adjustment). This one feels like they finally have it figured it out. I haven’t had any issues. I love being able to map buttons to the extra triggers and how responsive the controls are. Great for fast paced games (ARPGS, FPS, Battle Royales).

    This controller has been awesome so far, I really like that you can change the tension in the thumb sticks. Textured grip is great for sweaty hands too. Battery life is great. It’s expensive but whatever I love it so far. Get some geek squad protection just in case

    Very nice controller, easy to adjust to your requirements. Buttons are crisp and able to be adjusted as are the joysticks. The only draw back is a known issue with these controllers, stick drift. I had to return my first one after 5 months due to extreme drift in the left controller.

    One of the best controllers Microsoft has made, once you play with an elite controller you'll never be able to switch back to a non elite controller!
