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.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. I’ve owned the previous generation elite controller and this is a great upgrade. The paddles are smaller which helps me from accidentally pressing them all the time. The controller feels better overall.

Best competitive controller out there
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having owned the 1st elite series controller I didn’t think this one would be that much better, but I was wrong. This controller improves almost every aspect of the Series 1. The wrap around grips are excellent. My series 1 grips started to fall off and I don’t see that being a problem on this one. I love that it’s slightly smaller than the 1st. Because of that I can actually use all 4 back paddles comfortably. The thumbsticks and triggers feel great. The controller now has a rechargeable battery built in and can be charged by placing it on the charger that’s in it’s case. Overall a great improvement and a fantastic controller. If you play call of duty, Fortnite, etc you need this controller.

Nice, but Xbox is xbox
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox knows these elite controllers will break easily so instead of fixing the overall issue they make a controller that doesn’t come with a case or extra buttons. Its their way to cheap out and make the consumer pay more and more for their mistakes. Works fine but be warned once you use these its hard to not and you’re stuck buying expensice controllers.

Best controller i have used in a long time
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over all great controller the grips make it really easy to grasp after long intense play. Trigger stops are a huge improvement over the previous version with the ability to have a 3rd more subtle option rather then default and full stop. The joystick tension is a welcomed addition as well although i wish there was a 4th adjustment setting which allowed for an even looser then stock. The controller also have phenomenal battery life. On several occasions i have gotten 4 days of use with 6 hrs of play time on and off. Other then that theres not much to say is it worth 170$ is up to you but to me its a great controller i would strongly reccomend.

Good - not a must buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Eh - i’ve had this controller and also the original elite series 2 multiple times, qualities not what you would really expect. Still very good very well built but not in destructive. This just says that, I have actually found original Xbox controllers that come with their system are more adorable, and last longer than these $120 or $200 controllers

No charging
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid controller. Crappy bumpers. But all Xbox controllers have terrible bumpers. Overall, it’s worth the price for the amazing battery in this thing. I barely have to charge it

Surprisingly worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IMHO the price point on this controller is a real blocker. I would have tried one years ago at $100, maybe even $130, but near $200 for a controller is a lot to ask. That being said, thanks to not going out for a year I've saved enough money to justify this kind of opulence and I'm glad I went for it. It comes with a charging dock you can rest it on which is nice. I'm mainly a single player gamer so having 1 controller constantly charged is a big deal. I dropped the flippers on the back and swapped out joysticks. The directional pad is an improvement (and you can swap it out too if you disagree). You don't need this controller, but if you're interested and have money to burn you have my blessing.
