    I’ve had this remote for about a year. Its been great. Takes a little getting use to cause it’s heavier but feels premium. I’d give it a 4.7 out of 5

    Sucks that you need to buy this for remapping the

    I had no choice but to buy this in order to finally be able to remap the trigger buttons to the face buttons. In a C6 incomplete quadriplegic and for years I prayed Xbox and Microsoft would let users remap the regular Xbox controllers trigger buttons but after baby years they still lock that feature behind the Elite and Elite core controllers. Being disabled and an advocate for gaming accessibility this is unacceptable and I wish more people would be aware of this. I use my Xbox One controllers on my Xbox Series X since it’s bigger and easier to use. I can’t open and use my fingers so I use my chin to control the left stick and my wrist/palm to control the right stick. So many games where I need to remap the triggers were inaccessible to me. You shouldn’t have to buy an expensive controller for remapping, shame on Xbox.

    For the price charged, I expected more. It's good, but for the price, it's not worth it.

    The warranty at best buy is so worth it especially for something like an elite controller where you use it a lot and it takes a lot of beatings because it's my favorite controller but doesn't have the best reliability and I always just exchange it out with my total tech membership! Couldn't be happier! All the extra buttons help me play games like Destiny without ever needing to take my hands off the stick and aim but the thing that probably helped me the most was being able to adjust how tight or loose the thumbs ticks are which has helped my aim tremendously!

    This is the second time I buy this controller, the first time it was always disconnecting wirelessly. This time the battery doesn’t even work so it has to be connected at all times. Other then that it’s an amazing controller and you feel the quality.

    Just want to update y'all with a longterm review. This controller has been AWESOME but the RB button is now working 20% of the presses. Big RIP. Used daily since it's launch day in November 2019. DO NOT buy this controller without warranty.
