    Thisbis my 4th elite controller. The controller itself is amazing but it will not stand up to the riggers of competitive play. It lasts me about a year before I start losing the RB button and about a month later I'll develop drift. The controller us amazing beyond those issues.

    This controller so far has been the greatest experience with a controller I’ve had. The grip is outstanding, the customizability of it is extraordinary and the weight really gives it that premium controller feel. Definitely recommend this controller. I don’t think I have anything negative to say besides every now and then I have to clean the controller to clear up any dust, which is nothing, an easy cleanse every week or so and you’re set.

    If you’re a regular gamer, this is the most comfortable, and durable controller you will ever need. Very easy setup, and customization options. Ive had mine for over a year, use it 30+ hours a week and it still works without a problem. Amazing

    A year later… still world perfectly. Honestly , there isn’t much to say about it. I love it, the settings are saved across the board Whether I’m using the controller for my Xbox, pc or Used for my phone - it saves the settings for all the games I want to use it for under its profile. Super easy to get used to, and feels amazing. 10/10

    I bought this mainly for FPS and the trigger stops. I like the flexibility it provides and the charging case is cool. I use the domed thumbstick on the right and the original Xbox one on the left. I do have some small stick drift on the right but it doesn't happen all the time. Its feels god in the hand, although smaller feeling. I only use two the paddles on the back. I wouldn't say it has improved anything but I feel more confident.

    This controller is one of the best on the market, and for well reason. I’ve owned this remote for roughly 2 months now and has given me little to no problems. The only thing that I have noticed with the remote is sticky buttons but after a few gears of war sessions and COD it broke the remote in. The charging mechanism of the remote and even just the case it comes in is amazing and the quality of the remote.

    I love this controller. Connects to my Xbox and my tablet! I have not connected it to my computer yet, but that is the plan too. I am getting used to the paddles, but the overall feel is nice. It is not as heavy as my old controller with a rechargeable battery in it. I am a big fan and may buy a second for myself. My son had a first generation one and upgraded for Christmas. He really likes his as well.

    I’ve been using an Xbox elite controller since the first one came out and I must same they checked every box this time around and I love it even more. I play FPS games so much better since the introduction of paddles and I can’t play without them now lol worth every penny even got insurance which is a must for something like this. Built in battery, Bluetooth, long battery life 40hrs, 3 profiles for paddles, as well as adjustable joystick tension :D

    this is just sweet! very high end controller compared to the basic one or even the Elite from a few years ago. I love the grip and handle. the charger is well designed. it has four extra paddles in the back which I am sure someone knows how to program, but right now are preset.

    As my title says, this controller is very comfortable in my hands. I have bigger hands so that was important to me. The weight is perfect and it pairs right up with Windows 11 without an issue.

    I love the controller. It has a nice tight grip around, the controller is a little bigger than the normal controller which is nice because normal controllers are too small for my hands while this one, is the perfect size for me. The paddles on the back is so useful for when gaming

    extremely good controller I love the elite controllers the Microsoft has made but these new ones are mind blowing. I wish they came with a case like my black elite series 2 but that’s not that big of a difference still get a great controller built to last with a great battery

    This controller is well worth the money! With the customization funtion you can always change with your game style. Also the grip on the sides feels very comfortable. The best part is the charging case which charges your controller while also protecting it. Definitely would recommend!
