    Works well and it’s nice having the interchangeable controls. Kind of expensive compared to other options though.

    Love having more options to customize. I feel the price is a bit high for the value of those buttons. Battery lasts long and charges easily. The remote is well made.

    I debated on this for years and i would always say to myself i don't want to spend that much on a controller. The sticks started falling apart on my last one and i asked a friend that raved about the elite if it was worth it. He said you won't have to buy another controller for life. I broke down and got it and before unboxing it i was impressed with the package. This thing feels great. Very impressed and pleased with purchase. I regret not getting it sooner.

    Has all the features of my custom ordered controller for other platforms for a fraction of the price. Has extra pieces to interchange for additional customization. Totally worth the price and feels great.

    I absolutely love the Microsoft elite series controllers. I have a black one that I use. Also, this white one looks even better. It doesn’t come with the battery or the case but you really don’t need it. I love the way the stick works and it comes with all of the buttons and switches to the other one for the price you cannot go wrong with this I absolutely love the way it feels in your hand. The grip is nice the white does get dirty a little easy but it’s still looks great.

    The controller weight feels amazing, the battery life is plentiful, and the finish is great. Been using non-stop and had zero issues. Its a wonderful replacement to the first elite which i still have and have been using for years. No complaints.

    Awesome controller, feels great and has the perfect weight. A little pricey but worth it. Comes with extra parts to fit your comfort and the added paddles makes customizing the controller a hit because of the locations.

    Excellent gaming Remote for Pc or Xbox but I prefer the All Black one instead due to “Stains” if you will
