    I had the previous elite controller, and very much like the face you can increase or decrease the resistance of the thumb sticks. I also love the rechargeable battery and the ability to remove the charging base or leave it in the case (which has a pass thru port) and charge it in there while its protected.

    I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

    My grandson dropped it the first day, and buttons fell off -- but the surprise was when the buttons easily reattached magnetically.

    This controller should have been shipped standard with the Xbox Series X. It makes the whole system feel more quality. Good adjustments on the triggers and sticks.

    This is a super great controller out of the many I have bought. Me and my boyfriend love this controller and the fact that you can match it to your own way that you like to have a controller is the coolest thing ever. I would definitely recommend buying this controller . It is definitely worth the money.

    A definite improvement over the base controller physical customizations are good as well as the software customizations. Rechargeable battery and dock are nice too. GameStop had it for 139.99 so I price matched

    I’ve been using the elite controllers since the beginning of the first elite v1. These controllers are very sturdy, and add a competitive advantage while playing competitive games. Haven’t had any problems with either controllers, and will continue to buy future new and improved controllers from Microsoft.

    Awesome controller, amazing features for true hardcore gamers but there are a few flaws. My RT (right trigger) over time became very "sticky" it would require me to put in extra pressure to press the trigger down after having it in the medium trigger sensitivity for about a month.... not a big fan of that (like really 1 month). Also the cover on the trigger sensitivity lock popped off of my controller also within the first month and I have yet to drop this controller even as I write this review months later. Either I was given a bad controller or these are designed to break easy but regardless of the cons it's a good controller all around. take my advice GET WARRANTY ON IT!
