    Basically Brand new controller took my gaming to the next level I play cod so this helps me get back into peak performance online, perfect controller for competitive players and non competitive can’t wait til I buy the paddles for underneath the controller it helps a lot this isn’t my first elite controller but it is the coolest color scheme so far! Highly recommended! Pro gamer vibes. Grab them while their still available.

    Mid grade quality

    Mid grade but at least it's first party. Sad that this is the best they can do. No screenshot button, terrible build quality or consistency, in had to buy 3 before I got one with both working bumpers and A button. Premium feel but way too heavy, plus too small for my man hands. Overall i wish it were better but I will use it, especially for the under side paddles. At this point I can't game without them.

    Great controller all around - grippy texture, mappable buttons and paddles - and I always like using the long thumb stick on the left side and shorter one on the right

    So far, the controller is excellent. It has a good weight, balance, and feel to it when compared to the non-elite controller. I also got the warranty per the recommendation of numerous sources.

    Probably the best Xbox One/Series X controller

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is probably the best controller out due to the level customization you can get and the build quality involved. The carrying case has a dual function as a charger to the controller's internal rechargeable battery (which is supposedly up to 30 hours of gameplay!). I use this mainly as a Windows PC game controller (I had sold my Xbox One due to barely any usage and who is ever going get a Series X with the high demand for current gen lol). The only downside I have on PC is having to constantly re-pair the controller after using it wired in order to have an Xbox headset to communicate to teammates via Discord. Even once it's paired and then you use wired once, it's as if the pairing is automatically outdated and the controller no longer recognizes the PC through bluetooth. For the price it's a little high, but save up on those gift cards and reward certificates!

    Game changer!

    This controller has been a literal game changer. I’m only disappointed I didn’t buy one sooner. You really notice how much better it is once you get it all set up and then switch back to the standard controller. My KD is way up since I changed to this controller. With FPS games thousandths of a second can be all the difference. This makes you faster and more precise and with the paddles you no longer have to take. Your fingers off other controls giving you the advantage.

    Great controller. A lot of customization and features. The only issue is the analog sticks. They will eventually get stick drift unfortunately.

    So many more features than the gen 1. I find it way more comfortable to hold, it’s lighter, and the thumb sticks feel 10x better. You can also adjust how stiff the thumb sticks are. I tried the one my sister had and knew I needed the upgrade.

    I mean this is a no brainer. This is the best XBOX controller on the market. Weight is right, feel is solid, options and attachments are easy to plug and play. They fixed the rubber grip issue from series 1 controller.

    Favorite among the “pro” controllers. Love the sturdy, heavy feel of the controller. Customization options are better then every other controller. Recommend it 100%
