They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Love the feel and adjusability the customazation for button maping is super helpfull for those games you cant get the settinvs you whant and makes every game playable my only issue is that it has a tendency to divelop stick drift after a while but you can increase the dead zone in the settings to counter act that

    This controller is without a doubt the best controller you can get on the market. Bluetooth makes it compatible with more than just Xbox, and the durability/quality is far and away so much better than the version 1 that it makes it look like a joke. Battery life is stellar so far and the added case with charging dock built in works very well. Wish the battery was removable, but 40 hours per charge is great.

    Pretty happy with the controller function. The cost was way too much tho. It's a game controller. It was almost $200. I was not happy with opening the box to find there was no controller in the box tho.. luckily i figured that out before I made it to my vehicle and went back in. The best buy resolved the issue for me.. but make sure to check before you leave.

    Only reason this controller doesn’t get a five star review is that it tends to develop stick drift or faulty bumpers. It’s worth it to get the protection plan to be able to replace it.

    Amazing overall however, the durability is not quite there for the price. On my 2nd controller due to wear and tear or button smashed inside controller in 3 years. Otherwise, it's very nice feeling and works great

    Definitely worth spending the extra money to get the better quality controller. I’ve had 5 controllers before this one and they all seemed to wear out pretty quickly. I love how it’s customizable as well.

    Much more appealing versus the previous models. Wireless with built in rechargeable battery with a dock, that you can plug in through the back of the case protecting everything whilst charging

    It’s a great controller, haven’t had the first one before, and I love how it feels when you play any game. I will say the price is a little more the other should be but Microsoft gotta make money from it. I say get it if you can but you should stick with the standard XBox controllers instead of the elite.

    I’ve always been a fan of these controllers. Love that you can tighten down the sticks, change how far you need to press the triggers, and also save 3 different settings for games.

    Good Rechargeable Xbox Controller

    I'm not a "Hardcore" gamer yet I do enjoy some button smashing. This controller is a great addition to my Series X gaming console and I greatly appreciate the sturdy build quality especially the rechargeable battery inside as well as the tighter joy stick feel. Only con I say is the price... they can sale these for at least $100.00 and below but that's my opinion.

    This is by far the best controller I have ever used, Battery lasts over a week without charging depending on vibration settings in games, the grips are fantastic, the paddles are great and you don't have to use them all, or at all. The build quality is 10/10 legit best controller Ever, would recommend over scuf, especially with warranty

    In my opinion you are limiting yourself in gaming without using an elite controller it eases the feel of the game and gives you a larger capability compared to the the standard controller. The controller has a great feel and best of all no more batter pack you can charge it in the dope case it comes in or with just the regular usb chord.
