Blew away my expectations!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great grip and customization
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The texture grip is comfortable and the customization through the pc and xbox apps are where this controller really becomes pro. Paired with Scuff rear triggers this is great all around.

So Far ....... Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as a replacement/upgrade for the 3 Elite V1's I've owned over the past several years. Right off the bat, the controller feels more thought out. The grips feel nice. The built in battery is a huge plus. USB-C is the natural progression and the fact that it will be compatible with next gen/Project Scarlet is HUGE. The paddles aren't as large, so they feel more organic.

The best customizable controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great...but
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels great in your hand and I like that I dont have to worry about battery packs. Bigest issue is that the thumbstick neef to be constantly re-tightened and that the extra buttons underneath can be pressed inadvertently. Still an upgrade from the core controller.

Everything you would ever want, for 3 months
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing controller, everything you would ever need/want. Although the durability is horrible, everything starts to wear down, even the trigger locks. Although they did increase the base warranty to a full year so that’s why I made it a 4 star.

Great controller for Xbox and PC games!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome controller. Tons of great customization options via the Xbox app. Has a nice weight in the hands and feels comfortable to hold. The paddles work really well and are my favorite part of the controller. Tends to break down quickly like regular xbox controller unfortunately.

Happy to have replacement controller available
||Posted .

I've been very happy with the quality and the cost was reasonable.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Button quality, Stick drift
Buttons only work when they want to
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality control is poor at best. So many of these have faulty buttons that stick or dont register like mine. The Y button worked maybe 1/4 the time, with the B and A buttons working more like 3/4 of the time, and only consistently when pushed very hard and perfectly on the center of the button. Beyond that I had stick drift from both sticks after about a week of light use. Couldnt even exchange it for a new one because theyre backordered. Literally do not buy this without their protection plans or Im certain you will be sorry

A great upgrade from the first elite controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is a huge upgrade from the original. The trigger stops are amazing, the dock for charging is great. And the app to customize everything is still great. The only thing that could be better is the grip. At times it feels slick to me instead of more grip which is the opposite of what was intended.
