    Very neat controller, it is comfortable and has some pretty cool features like being able to decide if the trigger buttons are just click buttons or if you need to be able to feather it. Can also add paddle buttons to the back. My only gripe would be it does not come with atleast a set of paddles to add.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This controller feels amazing right out of the box. The build quality is solid, the buttons are super responsive, and the grips make long gaming sessions comfortable without slipping. The analog sticks are smooth and precise, and the triggers feel great for shooters and racing games. Battery life has been reliable, and it connects quickly with no issues. Overall, this is a high-quality controller that performs exactly as expected—definitely worth the purchase.

    This controller is expensive but after using it I think it’s worth the price. From the new grips, the ability to tighten the sticks, the longer built in battery that is USB-C, this is a nice upgrade from the original Elite. Also wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the paddles, but they feel natural and sit right at my fingertips. Definitely gives you the ability to play the way you want and map the buttons as you see fit.

    Super glad I chose to purchase the Wireless Elite Controller! I've used other controllers as well as paddles for them but nothing compares to this. The paddles feel natural and can be removed if you don't need them. Controller feels very premium. Definitely worth the money. I use this Controller for both Xbox and Pc and have had a great time doing so.

    The quality & customization of this controller are excellent. There’s a little bit too much play due to the interchangeable joysticks causing a dead zone. Buttons don’t register sometimes not sure if this is a software issue. GET RID OF THE PLAYSTATION JOYSTICK AND REPLACE WITH MID-HIGH JOYSTICK , there’s no in between height analog joystick.

    This controller is fantastic. It feels great and is insanely customizable. It is slightly too small for my hands. They also removed 1 long thumbstick from the previous version. Even with my complaints, it is still the best controller around.

    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

    I was kind of disappointed at first because my A button was sticking. I had to return it to get a new and they were sold out. I loved the first Elite controller and think they are some of the best mod controllers on the market. I had a skud controller for my PS4 in the shape of Xbox controller and it just did not have the same feel.

    Wow, simply wow! I bought this out of curiosity and assumed I would end up returning it. I thought it was a gimmick to be honest. I haven't put it down since I configured it, I love the added weight the high quality components add to the feel. Highly customizable with replacement pieces. The software to customize the controller is pretty well done.

    Controller is excellent for it's intended gaming purpose. Definitely a must have if you play COD, Fortnite, PUBG, etc. Just be prepared for the dreaded stick drift. There is a warranty from Microsoft for 1 year included with controller. I have used it once - service was quick. Buttons are swappable/customizable for aesthetic purposes. I have purchased 2, and would not hesitate to purchase more in the future if needed.

    This is a really nice controller. I love the dark paddles, d-pad, and triggers. All buttons feel nice and the home button is “clicky”. It has a good weight to it and comes with a braided cable and cloth carrying case. The charging base that’s included isn’t quite heavy enough, so picking up the controller while it’s on the stand occasionally results in the base hanging onto the controller. But since the charger fits into the bottom of the fabric case that’s included, I plan to charge it inside the case instead of on a table. It has a nifty little opening in the back for the USB-C cable to pass through. I was a little bummed to see that only one convex (domed) joystick was included in the extras. I don’t like the look of the controller with two different joysticks and prefer domed joysticks over the standard Xbox ones. Not a big deal, but I am already searching for a second one. As a new owner of both this and the original elite controller, I highly recommend both. Once you feel the smooth joystick movement of the the elite controller, you won’t go back to playing with the standard ones. I waited too long to purchase my last one.
