    it's a good controller used it for years now but every few months I need it replaced due to stick drift or the bumper isnt working. it feels great, good grip love the adjustable triggers and joysticks but paying over 100 for this isn't worth it unless you get a warranty because most likely you're gonna need it later on

    So far so good after a couple weeks. Its so much nicer than the standard Xbox controllers. Dont see myself being able to go back to them now. Feels much better in the hand, its nice that you can adjust so much with it. From the tension on the sticks to being able to adjust the extra sensitivity setting on it through the xbox. Im loving this controller.

    Been using these controllers for years and they never disappoint i can be rough on my controllers sometimes and its held up extremely well form all the drops squeezing and carelessness i have towards it gave me a solid 2 years without needing to get it replaced. (Only replacing because i dropped it down my stair case and the trigger got stuck but after some tinkering its all good now)

    While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

    This controller is an absolute game changer. I haven't really been able to take full advantage of its capabilities, but the configurations are unreal. Just the feel of this thing is far more superior than the standard Series X controllers. The price is justified just be sure to purchase this item with Total Tech Membership or a credit card with insurance coverage, to ease the price point sting. If you protect this purchase its definitely worth the price.

    Controller feels and works great. The triggers on the back make my reaction times quicker especially on first person shooters! Not to mention this controller has a built in battery, so no more batteries or battery packs needed like regular Xbox controllers. My only complaint is that it isn’t slightly cheaper so more folks can easily afford it!

    Had to get another one because my Puppy chewed up my first one. By far one of there best controllers had to get it again I love the original controller but after using this for so long the original just didn't feel the same. I wish they would have included this with there consoles. Love the color as well

    Got on sale and open box so decent deal, bumper went out and had the controller replaced under warranty with a new one about a year in, new one works great so far, not sure if it’s worth the extra money compared to the original pro but does a great job regardless

    I had hope there would be a noticeable difference over the standard controls in feel or gameplay. It was actually a little harder to "run" the player for the first several sessions then it seemed to break-in. I love the rechargeable battery, hope the life is good. The rubberized grip is probably the biggest difference. If budget doesn't matter, go ahead, but maybe stick with standard controllers if it's a stretch.

    Highest quality controller I've ever had

    I had recently bought the Xbox elite controller as well as the PlayStation Pro and the Xbox elite controller is far superior in quality, feel, and it came with an awesome (also high quality) magnetic charging unit that you can dock the controller on when not in use. I don't want to use any controller other than the Xbox elite- which I use for my PC. This luxury controller truly feels as such. 10/10. Don't hesitate to buy.

    my all time favorite controller, well worth the money, everything about it is premium, the only bad thing about it is that it will eventually get the stick drift, I've gone through 3 elite controllers but I keep coming back, best to get the warranty, if people are asking why I think its the best controller even tho it has a major flaw, my response is this, a lot of other controllers now have the same issue, the difference is that this controller is just built better overall

    Great Product, only problem is very, very minor stickdrift. You will have to add a very small deadzone. This might just be my product but other than that its a good controller. Variable trigger travel is good for a lot of games. The adjustable stick tension is good for precision games too. There could also be more options for Joysticks but the ones included work fine, like if they made it so that you could buy more options it would be great. The controller is also sleek and stealthy enough for my taste.

    Really the best option for Xbox controllers. If you are aggressive with your controllers like me plan on needing a new one every 1.5 years. Get the Elite controller that comes with the paddles, and then just get this core controller after you break a button.
