Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Micrsoft brings it back again rhis generation with another solid, well built gamjng controller. No complaints but $180 is a little steep.

    I was a little hesitant to purchase this after reading some of the reviews, but I'm glad i did. I play a lot of FPS games and this controller has been worth it. The feel of the controller along with the various settings you can customize has been nothing short of awesome.

    Honestly the best controller I have used yet. Even without using the extra buttons and triggers, the weight and size of this controller just feel right. They seem to have resolved the issues we all had with the original Elite controller and offer plenty of customization options with extra sticks and buttons.

    Very nice controller, easy to adjust to your requirements. Buttons are crisp and able to be adjusted as are the joysticks. The only draw back is a known issue with these controllers, stick drift. I had to return my first one after 5 months due to extreme drift in the left controller.

    I never really understand limited I'd been using standard controllers are until getting the Xbox Elite controller. With the paddles and customization I can react faster and my hands are more comfortable after long gaming sessions. Doesn't matter if I'm gaming casually or competitively using this controller has become a must.

    Replaced an Elite Series 1 - like this one MORE

    Purchased this to go along with a new Xbox Series S that I purchased at the same time. This replaced an older Elite (series 1). NOTE THAT THIS ONE DOES NOT COME WITH THE PADDLES OR EXTRA THUMB STICKS. If you want those, be sure to get the model WITH those items included. Microsoft sells the paddles & thumb sticks as a separate package if you get this model and change your mind later and want to add them. This controller works great. Lots of adjustments in the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox. I use all four paddles and you can program each paddle for a different function. You can easily switch between three pre-set configurations with the button on the controller. You can also set the color of the Xbox light per configuration so it’s easy to tell which config you’re on.

    This is the best feeling and working controller I have ever used. Using the paddles in RPG's really changes the game, not just for racing. Battery like is incredible. oh the stiffness.

    A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.

    The Best Controller I have ever owned. Great Battery Life, Great Feel and customizable! I was skeptical at first because of price, but I got it on sale and should have purchased it sooner! If you are considering it, don't hesitate, just buy it!

    Its comfortable, sturdy and well made. The customization options are really worth it, especially being able to adjust tension on the joysticks. Being able to change things for your playing style is well worth it. The cost is a bit high though.

    This controller has been awesome so far, I really like that you can change the tension in the thumb sticks. Textured grip is great for sweaty hands too. Battery life is great. It’s expensive but whatever I love it so far. Get some geek squad protection just in case
