    Phenomenal controller. It is heavier than the standard controller so it has a nice feel in your hands while gaming. And the battery life is outstanding

    While heavier than many other controllers, including other cheaper Xbox controllers, it remains comfortable and the battery life is impressive.

    I love this controller, but something about L3 isn’t as clicky anymore so it’s not as satisfying to press.

    When compared to the previous generation, this is what you can expect: Better grip, more tactile response on the paddles, shorter paddles. Overall an improvement. Best part about these is that they are very durable, My last generation elite controller still works after 5 years of usage.

    I like the weight an the feel of it. The trigger adjustment is excellent. It's a little expensive for what it is. All these options shoul dbe on the controller that comes with the console. But it is nice to have. Worth it if you have the cash and want nice stuff.

    Best Controller Period

    This is hands down the best controller ive ever held/used. It beats out anything playstation, nintnedo, even third parties have to offer. Rubberized grip around the fronts and back so your hands will never slip, customizable back paddles for FPS/Racing games is a must, three different profiles that can be saved for stick sensitivity and more. Also really bice that it comes with an extremely durable case that has a hard shell on the outside with a magnetic charging stand and awappable sticks on the inside. I also bought the warranty just in case but i take care of my stuff so we’ll see if i end up needing to replace them. So far so good.

    It’s really good it feels comfortable. I have no issues with it works great. The only problem I had that it doesn’t like work with Bluetooth with my PC but I think I have a bad Bluetooth receiver on my PC so that is not something I have against the controller I plug. It’s a braided wire that comes with it and it works really great. Mind you it is a cheaper version of the elite so it doesn’t come with the back paddle. You have to buy those separately, but I don’t actually use them much so I don’t worry about it.

    I've had this for a couple years now and can definitely recommend it for quality. It is built strong and weighs heavier than the standard controller which I find more comfortable when gaming. I like the flippers on the back that you could map actions to. I get a lot of use out of it in Battlefield V.
