    The Elite controller is unmatched. My gameplay has increased. From a quicker trigger to more responsive joysticks. I would recommend to buy two.

    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 love this controller, but something about L3 isn’t as clicky anymore so it’s not as satisfying to press.

    Decided to purchase this a Couple weeks ago , I wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth it or not so I was nervous to spend the money at first but I am so glad that I did! Controller feels amazing in your hands, the customization options on it are basically unlimited not only does it come with the interchangeable thumb sticks and paddles and the hair lock triggers you can fine tune Each individual button on the controller through the Xbox Accessories app so you can make any button do whatever you want , if you want to be able to make the A button do B button functions on a game then you can do it , its almost overwhelming how many things you can customize on the app to make the controller completely compliment your playing style. The controller comes with a really nice case. It comes with a usbc charging cord so you can charge it by plugging it into your Xbox or pc or you can use a wall adapter to plug the usbc into. On top of that it comes with a charging dock that the controller magnetically connects to and they even put a little rubber flat on the back of the case for the usbc cord to plug into the charging dock so you can charger the controller while you have it inside the case. I mainly play first person shooters online and being able to customize the controller how I want has made a huge difference in my gameplay and if you’re on the fence about buying this control then do it!

    Platforming in games is doable with the back trigger buttons. No longer have to take your right thumb off of the stick to jump. Wish I got this controller years ago. Though honestly I could have bought the less expensive one that does not come with the case and the other buttons.

    This controller is without a doubt the best controller you can get on the market. Bluetooth makes it compatible with more than just Xbox, and the durability/quality is far and away so much better than the version 1 that it makes it look like a joke. Battery life is stellar so far and the added case with charging dock built in works very well. Wish the battery was removable, but 40 hours per charge is great.

    It’s a great controller, haven’t had the first one before, and I love how it feels when you play any game. I will say the price is a little more the other should be but Microsoft gotta make money from it. I say get it if you can but you should stick with the standard XBox controllers instead of the elite.

    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.

    This is by far the best controller I have ever used, Battery lasts over a week without charging depending on vibration settings in games, the grips are fantastic, the paddles are great and you don't have to use them all, or at all. The build quality is 10/10 legit best controller Ever, would recommend over scuf, especially with warranty

    I'm not a "Hardcore" gamer yet I do enjoy some button smashing. This controller is a great addition to my Series X gaming console and I greatly appreciate the sturdy build quality especially the rechargeable battery inside as well as the tighter joy stick feel. Only con I say is the price... they can sale these for at least $100.00 and below but that's my opinion.
