Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this elite controller. It has some weight to it but feels great to hold onto. This is my third one, because once you get one, you will never go back to the other.

Takes your game to next level!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this controller! I had the older model elite and after 3 yrs.it got stick drift so it was on to the new model. Feels amazing in your hands.Great control with additional trigger stop levels and smaller paddles in a little different location. The only thing I wish is that it came with more domed sticks.

Greatest controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My box Elite Series 2 controller is my favorite controller. I can setup the buttons how I want, and the paddle buttons on the rear make gaming much easier since I don’t have to remove my fingers from the control sticks to perform actions, which speeds up reactions. A must have accessory.

Expensive but quality components
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved my original Elite controller, but this is definitely a step up in quality and performance. The grips are more comfortable and the built in rechargeable battery with magnetic stand is handy. I don’t honestly use the underside for macro button commands, but I just prefer the analog sticks on here better along with the overall construction.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical this would be a good as people said, but it was recommended so many times I took the plunge. Absolutely worth it. Feels very premium, and the controls are more responsive. The material makes it so my hands sweat less in longer sessions and even if they do I still have good grip. I use mostly with my pc, and whenever I use my xbox.

The next step up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really love not having to replace/recharge batteries. Love the feel. Can't get use to the paddles, had to remove them. Haven't gotten around to tweaking the settings nor controls. Don't really know if it was worth the $180.00, but it is better than the standard controller.

Good controller but be cautious
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was good for a little while, until I started to get major stick drift in both the thumbsticks. However, it was covered by Microsoft's warranty and I was able to send it in and they sent be back a brand new one, and no problems since!

Great product for many reasons, but has issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller looks great, and feels great. Really nice premium product at a premium price from a fit and finish standpoint, but it seems to have quality issues. Many reviews have reported problems in many areas, and I found some of these problems right out of the box in the first unit that I bought. One of my paddle buttons was almost none responsive it only worked about 20% of the time. I had Bluetooth connectivity issues where I would randomly drop connection mid game, and this happened daily The sticks have a lot of looseness in them, but I think that may actually be apart of the design. However it is not great for performance Returned it and got a new one, and this one seems to be good. The sticks still have a lot of dead one in them , and it does drop Bluetooth signal just like the first one I had sometimes, but I’m starting to think this might be a total design flaw. Over all the design and build quality is great it looks and feels really good. But the issues with many different features is a problem. A premium product should not have these issues straight from the factory

Innovative to out of date
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this control made back paddles mainstream and for that it has its place in history. But now there are better more reliable options on the market. If you don't need the back paddles the regular Xbox controller actually has lower (better) input latency than this controller. 7ms vs 14ms, defiantly makes a difference when playing anything online competitively. I would only buy this control for its comfort in hand factor and for playing single player games now days. Also lots and lots of QC issue with button actuation.
