    Got to say it feels solid, plays solid and the customization are a great thing. Even if getting a little sore in one position switching to a different thumb stick helps eliminate it for me. Great battery life and having bluetooth capabilities is nice for on the run playing. The nice charging stand and even port in the case is a nice touch to being able to charge it protected.

    Best controller on the market, just make sure to get warranty in case of stick drif or other issues since the controllers aren't cheap.

    Overall feel, battery life and adjustable triggers are good and the controller feels good in hand. The only issue is the presence of some stick drift already after returning one with stick drift within just a couple weeks. One trigger is already emitting an occasional squeak that sounds like a spring ready to pop.

    The overall feel of the controller already makes it worth the purchase to me - but with the addition of the customizable paddles on the back make it to where I can’t go back now.

    Love the controller but certain aspects don’t last long. I keep mine very clean and still end up with stick drift, sticky buttons, and bumpers that don’t work within 6 months.

    This is the second one of these I have purchased. My one son liked it so much that I purchased another for my other son. It's a bit pricy, however it seems that all remotes are going up in price. If you are going to spend the money and are looking for bang for your buck, this seems to be a great choice according to my son's who gain all the time.

    I absolutely love the quality of the previous Elite controllers but this was worth the upgrade. The battery life is amazing, the weight is well balanced and does not cause fatigue. The packaging seems hefty but that is because the carry case has a battery charging. Also love that the carry case has a pass through port to charge the controller while having it protected in the case.

    Absolutely love this controller. The weight of it is great! Heavier than the normal controller. The button mapping is simple and very adjustable. Plus the charging port connecting to the case makes it easy to leave charging overnight while ensuring that it doesn’t fall. Battery life is also great.

    Straight out of the box controller had massive stick drift. Both thumb sticks have serious drift and has been an issue the entire time I have owned. Did not have this issue with previous gen. Had high hopes but unfortunately this controller is not a home run, single at best.

    The remote is very good and works great for the most part except every once in a while the X button is a little iffy and when I'm holding x it says I have released the "x" button so I have to restart holding x. Other than that everything works as it should and it is worth it just for not needing batteries

    It’s a good controller and nice that they offer a cheaper option and other colors but if you want or need the extra buttons/parts it is much cheaper to buy it all together as a kit.

    Common issue

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Dont get me wrong, I LOVE this controller… although ive owned two of these and the left bumper is almost guarenteed to start sticking and not taking input. Forcing you to use your paddles as bumpers. Otherwise build quality is pretty good d pad and joysticks very responsive and adjustble triggers are a must. Just watch out for this flaw and be prepared for specificlly the left bumper to fail because it only takes just long enough fir it to get out of warranty.

    So much better than the standard controller. Quality has always been solid. Have rarely had connection issues. Still the best controller on the xbox side of things, in our opinion. Highly recommended.

    Love the controller. It does exactly what it says and does it better than the first generation Elite controller. Definitely get the replacement plan offered by Best Buy! If you game hard, you won’t regret it. Let’s face it, stick drift and button issues are a real thing no matter how much money you spend!

    Works very well and has very good build quality. The paddles on the back make it very easy to keep you fingers on the joystick while using abxy. VERY pricy though. This is a premium priced product that really is not needed for most people.
