    I found this to work very well with the PC games I use. However there were some automatic features that were enabled that caused pop-ups to occur when I used various control buttons or combinations. It was extremely annoying and game breaking and took time, effort and research to find how to remove the "features" and be able to play how I wanted. Since I got this specifically for the easy compatibility I was quite disappointed. The quality of the controller, fit, finish and feel are all excellent.

    i wanted elite v1 but thought how $$$ with batteries was a joke but with v2 it has its own battery integrated. I like the feel and the software which you can custom the controller to your style

    Great controller and a must have for hardcore gamers. The battery life is excellent and it is very durable. It is a little heavier than a standard controller.

    Real talk. This controller is great, while it works. Get the extended warranty either from the retailer you purchase it from, or direct from Microsoft. I have had 3 of the controllers all start to present issues within 1 year of purchase. Stick drift, bad bumpers or triggers and sticking A,B,X,Y buttons. No drops, no spills Moderate gaming use. Be warry. This is sold as a premium product, and IMO the quality and durability falls far short of the price tag.

    Did not realize twisting the joystick makes it come off. During street fighter the joystick gets loose and i have to re tighten during a fight.

    Love this controller! The weight/balance is amazing. The customization is incredible. Recommend you use the Xbox accessories app (Xbox or PC) to fine tune your inputs. 10/10 would buy again.

    I picked up this elite controller after a flood of recommendations from so many sources. I thought it would allow for some macros and other useful things through the use of the paddles but that didn't pan out. I really want to love this thing but it's hard to. The default vibration sounds like it's trying to saw itself in half. But props to them for allowing you to turn that down in the accessories app. You can make some fine tuning to your dead zones and joystick curves there as well. If you drop this controller, you'll get to pretend it's a Mr. Potato head and go hunting for the joysticks and the D pad insert. The levers on the back, as cool as they look, are useless at best and intrusive at their worst. They'd be useful if you could use them to macro together a combination of key presses or if they were a unique button recognized by game developers. But the only control you have over these things is what button to you want it to mimic. Or, realistically, what buttons do you want to accidentally press all the time? The handle grips are great and the triggers are nice as well. I like that the controller came with both a charging dock and a usb-c port. Battery life is good so far. Having the option to pick thumb sticks is a cool feature and one of the few unique aspects I think is actually useful. Being able to pick what Dpad you like is neat, but in a perfect world unless you're playing retro titles or fighting games I think it's of limited use. Unless new functionality gets added for the elite, I personally don't think it's worth it's asking price. I wouldn't buy it again. The elite is no where near 3x as nice as a standard controller but it's certainly 3x the price. If these were half the price, they'd be great.

    Love these controllers, I have 4 of them because I like the weight and feel; use one each for ROG Ally X, Gaming PC and XBox Series X with a spare in case one dies and I don’t want to game tethered or wait for recharge.
