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.

Improvement over previous generation
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When compared to the previous generation, this is what you can expect: Better grip, more tactile response on the paddles, shorter paddles. Overall an improvement. Best part about these is that they are very durable, My last generation elite controller still works after 5 years of usage.

Better than...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the weight an the feel of it. The trigger adjustment is excellent. It's a little expensive for what it is. All these options shoul dbe on the controller that comes with the console. But it is nice to have. Worth it if you have the cash and want nice stuff.

Great Controller!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing Controller feel and grip. Has a 3 step Variable trigger throw for ease of use and sub-second timing for where it counts. Wireless and Wired, comes with a cery nice controller color matched cable. This is just an awesome controller all around. REMEMBER buying this controller only is the controller itself. The paddles, different height thumbsticks, and D-pad change outs ARE NOT INCLUDED. So after purchasing i highly recommend buying a elite controller kit online. Found one that was a perfect paint match for the red controller.

Quality and comfort
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always the best controller on the market. Very hard to go back to a standard controller after using an elite. The weight and customization options make it stand out from other controllers.

Excellent controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this for a couple years now and can definitely recommend it for quality. It is built strong and weighs heavier than the standard controller which I find more comfortable when gaming. I like the flippers on the back that you could map actions to. I get a lot of use out of it in Battlefield V.

Good but not best for competitive gaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great. Feels comfy, plays smooth but for whatever reason the overloxking polling rate on xbox controllers are not unlockable to higher rates. Therefore you are stuck with Microsoft stock settings when it comes to input latency. Therefore the PS5 edge has a advantage over this one. Other then that its perfect very easy to use and feels great in your hands.

Worth It
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best controller i’ve ever had. I’ve been so hesitant to buy it but then I went out and bought it and man it’s amazing. Not only does it have a good comfortable grip while gaming, BUT it also gives you a bit of personalization. I get that it’s pricy but if you’re on the fence, I would definitely recommend.

Great controller!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really happy with the quality. The components are each mag based and they are extremely easy to swap out. My only negative comment is the lack of a dedicated screen capture button. It can be mapped as a shift function but i miss the single button ease of use. Otherwise it's a great controller for fighting games and FPS's like Destiny 2

Good controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bad a** controller ! The paddles take some getting used to and the customization is crazy . The only downside though is that buttons do sometimes take some force to work, can’t lightly tap it or it might not register other than that great controller

Is what it is
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Xbox controller, bit packs holifax sensors so it will even get drift just like all controllers. USB c is nice but no rechargeable battery is still insane In 2026 especially for an elite controller.
