    This was a gift purchase for my son, he is pretty anti-xbox controller but I convinced him it is more comfortable than being tethered to the PC with his PS5 controller. He enjoys it and no stick drift as of yet.

    Great controller with wonderful battery life. Ergonomic grip is much better than the base controller. Wish this one came with the kit like the original elite controllers did.

    This is the second one I have owned. The first one was great, lasted 2 years of daily gaming. Then the RB button stopped working, so I got this one. Lasted maybe a month before it started randomly disconnecting from my Xbox, never had this problem. It always seems to be at the worst possible time too, mid fight in a game. Then it takes around 40 seconds to actually light up and reconnect even when pressing the button. I will be making a claim on it to get a replacement. The 4 stars is because other than these weird problems this is the best controller to ever exist. Buttons feel amazing, very responsive even with Bluetooth connection instead of wired. In mortal kombat 1, the D pad on this thing is top of the line and can not be beaten. If you’re a mk1 player you NEED this controller.

    Controller feels premium! Great build cool case you can charge it in. Everything about my working one is awesome unfortunately the first one I purchased had mechanical sticking A and X buttons. Luckily Best Buy quickly replaced it for me as it was a factory defect! Was worth the investment if you are interested in a premium controller

    The controller is awesome and last pretty long too with battery. However, it’s a good idea to get the warranty on it if you’ll use this frequently when gaming. These are definitely not immune to stick drift or some buttons sticking.

    Definitely recommend. I’ve had a couple of these controllers over the years and will keep one as long as I have a Xbox. The controller weighs just a little bit more but it feels great actually feels like it has value. Battery life is very nice as well.

    The controller is good. Plagued with issues of buttons not responding, triggers failing, stick drift but when it works it works well. I have one and my son has one. Mine still works great. My sons is another story.

    Very well made. Lots of options for customization. There is an included case as well, which is very well designed. There's a charging station that can either sit in the case or on its own, and works either way, which I thought was a nice touch. I got it as a gift, and it was easy for them to set up and use. I'm not sure it's worth the MSRP price (I got it on sale), but it's definitely very well designed.

    The controller feels so nice to play on especially with the grips on the controller and its clean design. I don’t have to worry about battery life as much because charging Is such a breeze and it’s lasts for a long while.

    This controller is all about quality manufacturing, improved controls, and heightened sensitivity – perfect for gamers who love to play a lot. Plus, the charging dock is a really cool bonus. Sure, it's a tad pricey, but in my opinion, the quality you get makes it totally worth it.

    Great feel and functionality however this is the second one of these my son has gone through in 2 years. Buy the extended TotalTech from Best Buy. The unit is substantial and sophisticated but the magnets that hold some of the control surfaces lose their strength over time. Very expensive.
