Customers are saying

    I absolutely love the quality of the previous Elite controllers but this was worth the upgrade. The battery life is amazing, the weight is well balanced and does not cause fatigue. The packaging seems hefty but that is because the carry case has a battery charging. Also love that the carry case has a pass through port to charge the controller while having it protected in the case.

    Overall feel, battery life and adjustable triggers are good and the controller feels good in hand. The only issue is the presence of some stick drift already after returning one with stick drift within just a couple weeks. One trigger is already emitting an occasional squeak that sounds like a spring ready to pop.

    Lot's to be said: Quality is way better than the original, and the back panels are awesome. Yet you can only use the XYBA buttons with the back padels. If a PC player, you cannot have different controller profiles. Lastly and major: I have not had one controller last more than two years and I take care of my equipment. Usually, the joystick or the back top trigger becomes unresponsive. Also, of the 4 or 5 I have had at least one top button becomes lagged, usually "A". In the one I have now the right joystick does not click. No melee for me :(. Overall much a better controller than the original but if a gamer be prepared to have some hardware issues. Get warranty!

    This is the second one of these I have purchased. My one son liked it so much that I purchased another for my other son. It's a bit pricy, however it seems that all remotes are going up in price. If you are going to spend the money and are looking for bang for your buck, this seems to be a great choice according to my son's who gain all the time.

    Excellent controller. Feels slicker than the elite 1 at first but when you actually use it the handle area gets the perfect grip from heat. Perfect for competitive game, ei Call of Duty to get the button config just how you want it w the paddles so you dont take youtlr thumbs off the sticks

    The remote is very good and works great for the most part except every once in a while the X button is a little iffy and when I'm holding x it says I have released the "x" button so I have to restart holding x. Other than that everything works as it should and it is worth it just for not needing batteries

    Best controller I’ve ever owned. Unbelievable battery life, different analogs to swap out depending on preference and adjustable tension on the thumb sticks, as well as paddles in the back. No idea how this controller can ever be outdone.

    Great controller! But when that stick drift happens it’s a wrap. Worth getting the geek squad insurance so you walk in and out with a new controller without any fuss.

    Absolutely love this controller. The weight of it is great! Heavier than the normal controller. The button mapping is simple and very adjustable. Plus the charging port connecting to the case makes it easy to leave charging overnight while ensuring that it doesn’t fall. Battery life is also great.

    First "upgraded" controller I have ever purchased and it has been working as expected so far. I really like the customization/remapping capabilities as well as the extra set of paddles. Still getting accustomed to the extra paddles, but I can attribute some improvements in my gameplay to this controller. Build quality is great and only time will tell how it holds up.

    This controller is definitely for those heavy gamers out there because of the amount of customization you are able to do with it! I was actually a little overwhelmed at first cause I've never had this many options, but holy heck, it's insane! This one is especially excellent for FPS and MMORPG games in my opinion

    I really like the controller and it’s case. The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s extra weight. Maybe to some it feels more higher quality to have it weigh this much, but it’s noticeable and not welcome for me. Other than the extra weight, I really love this controller. It’s expensive too and I would never pay full price. But if you’re rich and dedicated to the Xbox, it’s worth it. Much better than PS5 controllers with the symbols
