    This product is excellent. I would really buy it again. It's very durable and very sturdy. It still works as if it were the first day.

    I've bought probably 6 of these things over the years. Some came immediately with stick drift that no amount of deadzone tweaking could fix or adjustment of the tension. If I didnt have the best buy total member subscription, i would have bought a scuff. Yet spending $50 every year or so to replace it has been working.

    It matches my Xbox Series S. I already have the Xbox Elite 2 controller but use that with my Xbox Series X. Which is black like the X. Anyway I also had the first Xbox Elite controller so already have all that i need for the new one. Which just seems like its suppose to go with the Xbox Series S.

    I really wanted to like this controller, it felt very solidly well made, except for just one annoying thing: the rubber or latex or whatever material the black side grips are made of made my palms very itchy. Im not sure why. If it did not do that, i probably would have happily kept using this controller. Heres hoping microsoft uses a different, non itchy material for their future elite series 3 controller, if and when they release it.

    This is better than the first elite controller. I would recommend it because of the internal battery and the better grips on the controller

    The controller is great, it actually did improve my game! And as a testament to how good the grip is, I accidentally left the controller on the roof of my car. Not knowing I did I drove of went to two different places (gas station and friend’s house), to my surprise it was still there! I couldn’t help but laugh.
