Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Really enjoying this controller. This is the first time I have bought an elite controller and i got to say, it is a game change. Makes it so much easier to play fps games. I will not go back to the regular controller after this.

    Love this controller! So many different ways to customize to you specific gaming style and comfort. Was skeptical if it was really worth the price... The money u save on batteries and the fact it comes with its own charger and protective case just adds to the value.

    Feels well built and the modularity is awesome! Love the heavier tension on the sticks and short throw on the triggers.

    Too expensive for what it is, and I've found that the triggers are a bit clunky if you're not playing a 1st person shooter game.

    Love this controller, the Bluetooth feature is a plus for me, to be able to take my personal settings on the xbox and apply them to my phone was a great add-on. I believe also it will be compatible with the next gen console so not much you will be losing

    I play mostly fighting games, which kills the D-pad on the standard Xbox controllers. This controller is more responsive and feels better in may hands than the regular one. I love that it will be forward-compatible to the new Xbox. Would recommend highly.

    I tried the Scuf which I loved but this is much better. The only thing that scuf was better at were the triggers, but this is good enough and the rest of the components are superior
