    Customization is great. Stick drift is still a massive problem. The Light up logo and color ability is neat. But for over $100 and the LS/RS hasn’t lasted a few months.

    This is a really awesome controller, very much worth considering. The joystick attachments are perfect for my gaming style, the variety of grips add a very smooth feel in regard to game play. Back buttons are perfect for constant jumping , I use one on each side. I feel the abilities the lower buttons control In Fortnite get accidentally pressed too often,I just take them out and put them back in for my other games. And you can’t go wrong with a carrying case with a built in mag charger !!!!!

    I play a lot of Apex Legends and the paddles that this controller comes with are fantastic. I have two of the three settings saved through the xbox app for Apex, Battlefield, and another that I’ll find a use for eventually. The battery lasts a long time on a single charge but it also takes a very long time to charge too. So keep that in mind. It is expensive, but I think it’s worth it so far.

    This is amazing. Definitely changed my game playing. Being able to change the triggers is awesome. Does not come with back paddles. Which is really the whole point in getting one of these. Had to buy separate

    I’ve always used the controllers that come with the Xbox system, but then I bought the elite. GET YOU ONE! The mapping, feel, and tweaks you can do with this controller is far beyond my expectations. Worth the money.

    Bad stick drift

    stick drift after a couple of months. build quality isn't what I expected for how much you spend on a controller. Stick drift is horrible after a couple months use. If you have the money to dish out for the controller than go ahead and buy it. It works great when it is working but once stick drift becomes a issue its over because things like stick drift matter alot in fps games and pretty much any game where there is a aiming mechanic involved. Microsoft definitely needs to focus on this issue more on the next model. Thus for now I only give it 2 stars due to the price along with the lack of build quality due to the stick drift issue.

    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.

    This controller is meant to break, they have insurance for a reason. This is my third one. Sadly its the best controller out there, but will break over time no matter what. Horrible stick drift is known and buttons getting stuck.
