    Best controller ever made. Period. Reassign the usual controls to back paddles or create a macro for a quick one button press that would have taken 2 button presses to accomplish, like going from standing to laying down without stopping at crouch

    I think these are a great alternative to the Elite Pro. If you're just looking for a nice rechargeable controller with the ability to upgrade what you choose. Still, the Pro has all the bells and whistles and that nice case! I doubt you'll be disappointed with either/or.

    I love playing my Xbox and my elite 1 started to have stock drift, so I figured I’d upgrade since it’s been a while. Got this baby in pretty fast Best Buy was great all things considered but the product came defective out the box. Now I dont know what the process is to return this now that COVID-19 is upon us, but I’ll tell you guys what was wrong out the box. The A button is non responsive a lot and it’s frustrating when I press it to no avail. The controller always disconnects from my Xbox everyday for a random moment. I love the elite controller idea but part of me thinks I should’ve went with a different company like scuff or Astro.

    Knocked off a star because value isn’t great unless you already have accessories. As a controller it works well. I like the color vs. all black.

    Amazing build quality, connection and charging is easy. Paddles are easy to remove and adjust and make gaming easier. Adjusting paddle and button mapping with the accessories app on the XBOX is a breeze.

    Quality control issues, buttons don’t always register.. primarily LB or RB on my controller. For the most part works well, but do yourself a favor and either buy a warranty; or wait until the next version is released. This gadget is too expensive to have to deal with delayed or non-responsive buttons, and joystick drift seems to be an issue with Minecraft; especially when used on PC.

    This is my son’s second Elite controller in less than a year. The first one had a button go bad after a few months of use. He really likes this controller even though it has way to many buttons for me to comprehend.
