    Nothing too special. If you have the money and really could use the additional buttons or customization, then you would appreciate all the features. I wish the rubber was a little more grippy. I haven't had any issues with mine and hoping I dont, but have heard of others having issues. I think for what you are getting, its a bit pricey.

    This controller so far has been the greatest experience with a controller I’ve had. The grip is outstanding, the customizability of it is extraordinary and the weight really gives it that premium controller feel. Definitely recommend this controller. I don’t think I have anything negative to say besides every now and then I have to clean the controller to clear up any dust, which is nothing, an easy cleanse every week or so and you’re set.

    I bought this mainly for FPS and the trigger stops. I like the flexibility it provides and the charging case is cool. I use the domed thumbstick on the right and the original Xbox one on the left. I do have some small stick drift on the right but it doesn't happen all the time. Its feels god in the hand, although smaller feeling. I only use two the paddles on the back. I wouldn't say it has improved anything but I feel more confident.

    I have owned the original Elite controller for years. I have replaced parts rather than purchased this newer version, but i am extremely happy with the upgrade. This controller is lighter and feels great in my hands. I am sorry I didnt replace my original elite controller sooner.

    This controller is one of the best on the market, and for well reason. I’ve owned this remote for roughly 2 months now and has given me little to no problems. The only thing that I have noticed with the remote is sticky buttons but after a few gears of war sessions and COD it broke the remote in. The charging mechanism of the remote and even just the case it comes in is amazing and the quality of the remote.

    I love this controller! I used to buy the regular xbox controller but the analog sticks would always get really bad stick drick within 2 months of owning it. I would have to keep getting new ones every 2 months. This controller has lasted me over a year before having to get a new one. (They usually go fast because I like competitive game's) So if you are a competitive gamer, I highly recommend this controller! Also the extra buttons are great to have. (Sold separately)

    Thisbis my 4th elite controller. The controller itself is amazing but it will not stand up to the riggers of competitive play. It lasts me about a year before I start losing the RB button and about a month later I'll develop drift. The controller us amazing beyond those issues.

    I’ve been using an Xbox elite controller since the first one came out and I must same they checked every box this time around and I love it even more. I play FPS games so much better since the introduction of paddles and I can’t play without them now lol worth every penny even got insurance which is a must for something like this. Built in battery, Bluetooth, long battery life 40hrs, 3 profiles for paddles, as well as adjustable joystick tension :D

    I love this controller. Connects to my Xbox and my tablet! I have not connected it to my computer yet, but that is the plan too. I am getting used to the paddles, but the overall feel is nice. It is not as heavy as my old controller with a rechargeable battery in it. I am a big fan and may buy a second for myself. My son had a first generation one and upgraded for Christmas. He really likes his as well.

    This is the best remote I’ve ever owned. No stick drift and smooth as butter! Plus the worker made me aware w my protection package this remote would also be covered for any issues and if it couldn’t be fixed theyd simply give me a new ine

    You can’t go wrong with a classic. I’ve tried other controllers over the years that are cheaper and supposedly higher quality. I’ve tried off brand, standard on brand, wired, wireless. I always come back to this.

    Great controller! Has a wonderful grip feel and very long battery life. I had the paddles left over from a broken series one elite controller so they moved right over. But the thumb sticks don’t transfer so keep that in mind.

    If you’re a regular gamer, this is the most comfortable, and durable controller you will ever need. Very easy setup, and customization options. Ive had mine for over a year, use it 30+ hours a week and it still works without a problem. Amazing

    Great controller for the money. The only issue is the Joystick motors after constant use they get some stick drift but it is manageable and doesn't really affect you when gaming.

    These Xbox Series X Elite controllers are totally worth the upgrade. They are so much more responsive, and feel so much better in my hands than the original controllers that come w/ XBOXs. I also love to use this controller with my PC games as well. The only thing I would change is I would make the controller where a Userer could easily clean the buttons if you spilled soda on them or something so they do not stick.
