    Such an awesome controller. The additional controls on the bottom are really helpful. Currently on the 3rd controller due to issues with bumpers. Likely normal wear and tear so can't complain much.

    I got this controller to use on my pc. The inserts are magnetic so they stay in place very well. Controls have a good feel and vibration feedback is not too much. I love this controller.

    Probably the best controller on the market right now, as a PC user. Just switched from a PS4 controller so I'm still adjusting but no other controller has as many options as this does. A best buy agent helped me with this purchase and I greatly appreciated it. Always buying from best buy whenever I can.

    Expensive, but worth it

    Been hankering to get one if these for months, and because of that I was a bit wary going in. You never know if a purchase is going to live up to the hype you build for it. I'm happy to say that to me at least, this does. When you first pick it up, you don't really notice much besides the weight (which is good and heavy; I can't stand lite cheap feeling controllers), but after a few hours in I started noticing subtle details. The sticks are suuuuuper smooth, and every button has a good solid click. The triggers are weighty and responsive, however the trigger stops detract slightly. I usually have them at the shortest pull when playing rpgs or shooters, and it almost feels like I'm going to break the stops. Other than that one detail, I haven't found anything about this controller I don't like. Very happy with my purchase.

    Its a great controller, feels good in your hands. Long battery life, a great many accessories. But I don't feel $180 price tag warrants. This should sell for what rival controllers go for or cheaper $125-150. Could use a little more quality components to hit that $180 mark.

    I have two of these and I think they are the best controllers ever. The heavier weight feels great and the joysticks are very smooth. I have the total tech on them and if they ever have a problem I just swap it out for another. Highly recommend

    The most versatile controller there is. Easier customization than other controller and the memory slots are saved to the controller using the X-box accessories app.

    So far so good the controller feels like a premium accessory, the price tag is high and some people might find the buttons on the back annoying but the beauty of this controller is that you can customize it to your liking and however you feel it the best way to play. The only thing I wish this controller had that is missing is the share button the new one has.

    Been playing on the original Xbox and still have it along with 360 and XBox 1X. This is by far the best Xbox controller I have ever owned and experienced. The feel and controllers are definitely elite compared to all the other Xbox controllers. It was recently in stock and on sale which was a bonus.

    Fantastic controller! This is the best controller for any console gamer wanting to have an edge or compete with PC players. The build is solid. It looks and feels great. Battery life is great. There are plenty of different options to configure to make the controller yours or to give you the right tools for each different game you might play.

    Gotta give Microsoft credit cuz they made the Elite controller even better. Solid built but I’m just waiting to see if there will be any stick drift I’m with this in the future. As of this review I’m 2 months in and so far so good. I don’t care for the grips, I’m hoping scuf comes out with their grips for this soon but other than that I think this is a perfect controller.

    Takes your gameplay to a whole new level! Also so many customizations you can do. My favorite feature is that you just recharge it with usb-c and it last for days on a single charge.
