Not so "Elite"
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 3rd "Elite" controller I bought and they are all not really worth the money. If you really want/need one and you plan on using them daily consider an extra warranty because they don't seem to last very long. I consider this controller the most disappointing Microsoft product out there.

Best controller...so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own prettty much every controller for PsS3, 4, & 5 and Xbox 360, one, and series X. This is the best so far. Will have to get the PS5 Dual Sense Pro when it comes out for comparison. Sony needs to correct the oversized touch pad. Maybe allow user to turn off the touch pad.

Great design, Poor quality.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First controller I owned RB button switch failed. Now this controller has the same issue, not activating at all or double clicking. A gamers dream to select the wrong weapon while playing Fortnite. Initially I tried remapping to the button to the bottom, no big deal, just new muscle memory to learn. Then the left analog stick started drifting forward. Deal breaker. Geek squad guess who going to be visiting you soon. I never had this issue with 360 controllers. MS needs to get their act together. Personally, I have had 3 Xbox 360’s, 3 Xbox one X’s and 3 elite series controllers fail. Enough said.

Terrible

Unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing has failed on me twice un two years. Microsoft replaced it the first time after about 9 months of gaming maybe 4-6 hours a week. The second failure happed about 8-9 months later and each time it was the thumbstick drift. Very disappointed.
