Elite
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best remote I’ve ever owned. No stick drift and smooth as butter! Plus the worker made me aware w my protection package this remote would also be covered for any issues and if it couldn’t be fixed theyd simply give me a new ine

Great Controller

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Controller ever made for xbox! A little pricey, but worth it, you no longer need actual batteries, and you can replace literally any gesture from any button for the paddles! Works excellent with Warzone. I used to mess up all my controllers from double pressing the joy stick to sprint, now with this controller, I don't have to use the joy stick button, and replaced it using the paddle! So much smoother and improves your gameplay !

On The Button
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works perfectly. I upgraded to this because of the buttons on bottom. The only problem I have is... the buttons on bottom. They work so well that I keep them turned off so they don't get input from my handling the controller. It's good to know that they are there, should I decide to use them.

Excellent controller, stick drift will happen
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best cobtroller i have used, but it will get stick drift eventually. Get insurance for sure, and just keep trading it in whenever the stick drift starts to show. Its an unfortunate necessity.

Gaming perfection
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re a regular gamer, this is the most comfortable, and durable controller you will ever need. Very easy setup, and customization options. Ive had mine for over a year, use it 30+ hours a week and it still works without a problem. Amazing

Premium controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only controller you will ever need. I use this for the Xbox and Steam on my PC. And you definitely get what you pay for. Premium construction, the controllers wear and tear are minimal even after about an year of purchase and moderate gaming use.

Gast and efficient

Blew my mind.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one of the best controllers on the market. Well worth the price tag of $180 added with the Microsoft wireless adapter for $25. I recently got into gaming on the PC and was previously using a standard Xbox one controller. the difference between the standard and the elite is night and day. More advanced options, slightly heavier, comfortable grips, switchable parts, and a battery life that will last your for a couple of days on a full charge. No complaints yet.

Best series yet!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller. Internal battery is nice. A single charge lasts a long time, the responsiveness is outstanding. I love the hair trigger option and the 3 different paddle setups for different play styles. Its so versatile and easy to switch between console, to pc, and even to my phone during trips. Comes with extra parts too. Definitely a good purchase

Is what it is
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Xbox controller, bit packs holifax sensors so it will even get drift just like all controllers. USB c is nice but no rechargeable battery is still insane In 2026 especially for an elite controller.

Upgrading my Elite control was a great decision!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned the original Elite controller for years. I have replaced parts rather than purchased this newer version, but i am extremely happy with the upgrade. This controller is lighter and feels great in my hands. I am sorry I didnt replace my original elite controller sooner.

Fantastic But...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thisbis my 4th elite controller. The controller itself is amazing but it will not stand up to the riggers of competitive play. It lasts me about a year before I start losing the RB button and about a month later I'll develop drift. The controller us amazing beyond those issues.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is one of the best I have ever used. i mainly use it for pc gaming when i dont want to use my mouse and keyboard and it does the trick for me. And it is not as expensive as the black elite 2.

It's good, but you already knew that!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's plenty of third-party accessories for this controller, so don't feel like you're missing out on anything and they can be had for less than buying the regular Elite controller. The only downside is that there's no way to easily replace it if there's stick drift. I wish it had Hall Effect joysticks or replaceable ones like another Edge controller for another company ;-), but that said, I still have the original Elite and it's working great and it's a few years old at this point. So I have no fear this will also pass the test of time!
