    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

    Great controller that is responsive and feels like a high quality product. I've tried other brands of controllers with paddle buttons, and preferred this one. It is more expensive than I would like, but it is noticeably better than the stock controllers.

    This is the best controller I've ever had, and I'm not just saying that. Has the best grip, joystick feel and customization out of any I've tried before, and the charging dock it comes with it simply magical. Highly recommended to pro and casual gamers alike!

    Overall a great controller. Tons of customization in both hardware and software. Minus one star as the left stick has major drift issues. It's being taken care of Microsoft under warranty, but requires sending it out before a replacement is sent back.

    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.

    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.
