    Works like a charm, the extra accessories help set up quality of life button mapping such as adjusting music, muting of the party, etc.

    Excellent controller. It’s replacing the standard controller and the horrible SCUF controller. My recommendation is to stick with OEM items.

    Great Product. Don’t have to continually buy a new controller because of the analogs. All pieces of controller can be switched out. Definitely worth the money

    This thing is a game changer. Extremely tight gameplay. The hair trigger option is very cool and the buttons just feel higher quality. It’s a little heavier than a normal controller abut feels great in your hands. The buttons underneath take some time to get used to but are all fully customizable. It comes with a very cool charging/ travel case which is great. I would recommend this to any serious gamer. Huge improvement over my standard controller.

    The controller feels so nice to play on especially with the grips on the controller and its clean design. I don’t have to worry about battery life as much because charging Is such a breeze and it’s lasts for a long while.

    Love these controllers I cannot use the vanilla ones that come with Xbox anymore I have to use this kind. I am already preprogrammed using the four extra buttons on the bottom of the controller.

    Aesthetically a great choice… But I just purchased this less than two months ago and the stick drift is already starting…. Waste of money. It hasn’t fallen once, no any other type of damage

    I love this controller! I used to buy the regular xbox controller but the analog sticks would always get really bad stick drick within 2 months of owning it. I would have to keep getting new ones every 2 months. This controller has lasted me over a year before having to get a new one. (They usually go fast because I like competitive game's) So if you are a competitive gamer, I highly recommend this controller! Also the extra buttons are great to have. (Sold separately)

    Love this controller. This is one feels very good compared to the black series 2. I can use on my gaming PC an my series x. The only thing is it just don’t come with other accessories. But that’s why the price is just right.

    Love this controller for all of us features. It's very well weighted controller that offers the addition of the paddles and being able to change it the joysticks and several other features that make that a great purchase for fps plays.

    Not a bad controller works well responds well but stick drift came in quick after about a few months had to return. The first one I bought was not working at all. The second one I got is working well other than a little bit of stick drift the Best Buy team was very helpful on swapping the controller for a new one.

    Expensive but fun addition to my console.

    The first thing I noticed was the heft of the controller. This thing is rock solid. I will say, playing with all four paddles didn’t let me get as good a grip as I wanted, so I only play with the top two (I have large hands and the lower ones got in the way), but I enjoy the advantage of being able to keep my thumb planted on the right stick. There is slight drift in the right stick out of the box and adjusting the stick tension did not fix it. That being said, it is so slight it’s so far only registered when looking at the map in Warzone. It otherwise has not affected my play. The short-throw trigger setting is great for any repeated with the trigger motion (e.g., semi-auto shooting). The paddles let me crouch and jump while aiming in CoD like the PC players, replace my stick presses for added finesse in NHL, and make some fun paddle shifters in Forza. Definitely a fun addition to my One X and happy to know it is forward compatible for the transition to the Series X. If you have the money to burn, it’s a fun addition, but not a necessity.

    This is an excellent controller. I like how customizable the controller is along with I like that you can change the color of the button. I also appreciate that it’s wireless and the overall feel of the controller. Overall, excellent purchase and addition to my Series X.

    These Xbox Series X Elite controllers are totally worth the upgrade. They are so much more responsive, and feel so much better in my hands than the original controllers that come w/ XBOXs. I also love to use this controller with my PC games as well. The only thing I would change is I would make the controller where a Userer could easily clean the buttons if you spilled soda on them or something so they do not stick.

    Great solid controller. Has perfect weight comes with charging case that you can charge controller IN!!!! Over all worth every penny if you play Xbox or pc at all. I have used a lot of controllers in my life and this by far exceeds the rest. Also, has extra paddles for the back and extra buttons in the case. Buttons are metal not plastic so it makes a huge difference when playing and they remove effortless by magnets.

    I didn’t think I noticed much of a difference at first until I forgot to charge this controller, using my old controller felt like using a fisher price toy. This is such nice quality, the charge lasts so long, and it’s heavy in a good way. Weighty.

    Excellent grip, customizable via hardware and software which is very unique and helpful, various options for sticks and pads and triggers, and the warranty is by far the best warranty I have ever received. Would HIGHLY recommend for PC or XBOX gaming

    Very good controller. A little pricey though. The feel of the device in hand is great and very different from the standard controller. And there are so many configuration options it seems overwhelming.
