Elite controller good or bad? Well...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller its self is very confortable, and easy to set up. Having the option to choose your trigger pull and analog/joystick setup/range is nice as well. My ONLY complain is the stick drift is absolutely terrible after using the control for a few months. I feel like im constantly having to go back and replace the controller cause of the stick drift on the either joysticks. Besides that the controller is very good.

Awesome controller

Quality controller that you cannot go wrong
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit hesitant to buy this, especially because of the pricing. Wasn’t sure if the price was gonna make it up or feel any different than any regular controller I used but I was so wrong. You can feel a difference in a quality controller. I love the case it comes with and the customization is great. Need to play a few hours with it to change it to your settings. Charging battery is a lot better as well and the pads make it easier to play more competitive if that’s what you want.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller love the customization of the sticks, Dpad, and the triggers. Very premium feel as well as it feeling very sturdy. Connectivity is great as well with bluetooth. Price is a bit high for a controller honestly though.

Almost Exceptional Product Design
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, I believe this device deserves a 4/5 rating for the following reasons: I love the adjustable trigger settings, controllers really did need this. I also think that the customizable joysticks, and d pad are cool, the material enveloping the grips are very comfortable and give that premium feeling. I love the paddle feature which is the most interesting change. I think the most essential feature for my gaming experience is the trigger adaptation. The one thing im missing to making this controller exceptional in overall tech. I expected there to be another feature for push to talk, or an open mic built in like the playstation controller, also i expected the buttons to be quieter clicks so hardcore gamers like myself aren't disturbing other peoples sleep with loud clicking. OH and the fact that the share button feature was removed, that was a big one for me. (I'd recommend this item until something better comes out.)

The best of the best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best controller you could ever buy for Xbox and pc. Would be 5 stars, except the bumpers can’t seem to last longer than a couple of years. Definitely get the replacement plan on it. Other thank that, it’s comfortable, solid, highly customizable and extremely precise.

Excellent gaming controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller is sturdy, responsive, works great. The new design that uses rechargeable batteries and included charging stand, is a much improved feature over prior generation that used a cable to power the device. Prior design also ran on alkaline batteries, but constantly had to replace them, costly. The rechargeable batteries last long time between charges. No cons with the new design. Little pricey, but worth it. Make sure to purchase extended warranty, helps reduce replacement cost down the line.

Feels good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent so far just make sure you buy the charger because it didn’t come with it. Actually it had a cord with a USB that plugs into the Xbox but that never worked so I had to buy a secondhand one on eBay. The charge lasts like one week playing every day so that’s good and it’s a very it feels very heavy duty like it’ll last. It’s expensive tho.

Had no idea what I was missing out on.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic controller! Been eyeing this one for a while now, and decided that while I'm waiting for the Series X to get back in stock I'd finally treat myself to the controller. I haven't weighed the controller, but I'd estimate it's maybe 40-50% heavier than a standard controller, which is nice to me. The finish looks better than the standard controller and is more "stealth" matte in appearance, and the rubberized grips really do form a subtle grip to my hands within a few minutes (my hands don't sweat during gaming sessions, your mileage may vary). I removed the two lower paddles for the time being and have the two upper paddles set for "sprint" and "reload/interact" in the first profile. It's nice to not take my thumb off of the right stick to tap X to reload. I haven't experimented with the other stick options yet, but I did put the normal D-pad selector on (they're magnetic, so simply pop one off and put the other on). The round D-pad just didn't feel natural, and in both cases the D-pad click is much more definitive and audible than a standard controller...it's the only nitpick I have, but I can live with it. My box does have a FST-00001 label on it, but the manufacturing date puts it in the early part of October 2020. I don't know if Microsoft just gave up on the FST-00008 labels or not, and the Best Buy guys I posed the question to didn't know what I was talking about. They were surprised when I pointed out the model number on the shelf tag didn't match the one on the box. I haven't perceived any of the quality issues that plagued the earlier controller models (no stick drift, bumper feel solid, all LEDs work), so hopefully all will be well. All in all, I like it. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks or so, and when I pick up a plain old regular controller, my middle fingers instinctively look for the paddles, and only then do I realize how accustomed I am to the controller already.

Love these controllers pver the standard.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have a black series 2 controller and the core and the back pedals are helpful. The stop triggers are a nice feature and the battery life lasts days on a single charge. These controllers are comfortable. The only thing about my black one is I had it for two months and it already has a slight stick drift with the right stick.

Build Quality Could Be Better.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

The best controller of all time!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller has the best build quality of any controller of all time. The weight feels excellent in the hand and the wrap around grips make the feel even better. The paddles have a new feel to them that the original elite controller did not have and it feels great. The whole controller immediately feels more precise and quality than the regular xbox controller. This is completely worth it if you have the money.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I've used to date. Has some weight to it and feels grippy. The software allows you to remap buttons and change the color of the x button. Id definitely spend the extra money for the case dock and paddles.

Great Controller, Dont Drop It!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These come with tons of options for customization as far as your gaming style! They work super great and I have had 0 issues as far as connectivity and stick drift. I wish they were more sturdy one drop and the its opening at the edges. The magnetic joysticks and dpad are super cool but for me stronger magnets would be appreciated. Because that one drop, makes them pop off, sometimes found like a year later!
