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.

    Heavier than a standard controller but nice to hold. Paddles are a good option for certain fast-paced games.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Amazing controller, it may be overpriced but it's amazing for competitive gaming. I got lucky because I bought it as Open Box, but it works perfect. Tip: if you get one open box try it with the Xbox Accessory app and see if there is any issue with it, if there is return it ASAP, if not enjoy cause it's amazing!

    This thing feels so good in your hands. Love how you can adjust the shooting trigger. And adjust tension on the joysticks Really premium. Can't go back to a regular controller after this.

    Had the controller for 6 months, worked great, then R1 stopped being responsive. Now it takes a huge amount of force for it to register. Overall, the gamepad is ok, but besides the materials i think a regular series controller is better than this.

    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    Microsoft stepped it up with this contoller here are the improvements I really think stand out 1) Grips changed, my last to controllers they came off.. it is different on this one and feels like it will handle the stress of gaming longer 2) Buttons, the buttons feel better, from the lit up Xbox button to menue and ABXYs 3) 4 saved settings for different games, with the light indicator 4) integrated recharble battery and charger in case 5) smaller paddles making them better located for use Still working on cons list but here is the only one I have so far 1) charging cored is a little difficult to feed through the carry case to the charging base.

    I'm super amazed at this controller. Received as a birthday present from wife. Apparently the BB employee pointed her in the PROPER DIRECTION... she knows I'm a hardcore gamer and wasn't looking for or needing a typical controller. This thing is a beast! I haven't even begun to exploit the power, but I've built a couple of game specific control schemes and felt the difference in make-quality. The internal battery life (~15-20 hrs) is definitely better than what I've gotten from my recharger packs from Nyko charging base (typically 10+hrs). And looking forward to solid compatibility with Series X systems!
