    Overall feel, battery life and adjustable triggers are good and the controller feels good in hand. The only issue is the presence of some stick drift already after returning one with stick drift within just a couple weeks. One trigger is already emitting an occasional squeak that sounds like a spring ready to pop.

    I decided to spoil myself by getting a premium controller. This was an excellent choice. The quality is great. It works really well for online gaming. Highly recommended..

    This is the only controller we use. We are a gaming family and have 3 of these controllers. We love them and having Best Buy total tech is convenient to getting them fixed if need be.

    Great controller! But when that stick drift happens it’s a wrap. Worth getting the geek squad insurance so you walk in and out with a new controller without any fuss.

    This is the second one of these I have purchased. My one son liked it so much that I purchased another for my other son. It's a bit pricy, however it seems that all remotes are going up in price. If you are going to spend the money and are looking for bang for your buck, this seems to be a great choice according to my son's who gain all the time.

    Excellent controller. Feels slicker than the elite 1 at first but when you actually use it the handle area gets the perfect grip from heat. Perfect for competitive game, ei Call of Duty to get the button config just how you want it w the paddles so you dont take youtlr thumbs off the sticks

    Great controller with wonderful battery life. Ergonomic grip is much better than the base controller. Wish this one came with the kit like the original elite controllers did.

    Best controller I’ve ever owned. Unbelievable battery life, different analogs to swap out depending on preference and adjustable tension on the thumb sticks, as well as paddles in the back. No idea how this controller can ever be outdone.

    Heavy and expensive but good

    I really like the controller and it’s case. The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s extra weight. Maybe to some it feels more higher quality to have it weigh this much, but it’s noticeable and not welcome for me. Other than the extra weight, I really love this controller. It’s expensive too and I would never pay full price. But if you’re rich and dedicated to the Xbox, it’s worth it. Much better than PS5 controllers with the symbols

    The remote is very good and works great for the most part except every once in a while the X button is a little iffy and when I'm holding x it says I have released the "x" button so I have to restart holding x. Other than that everything works as it should and it is worth it just for not needing batteries

    Absolutely love this controller. The weight of it is great! Heavier than the normal controller. The button mapping is simple and very adjustable. Plus the charging port connecting to the case makes it easy to leave charging overnight while ensuring that it doesn’t fall. Battery life is also great.
