    Honestly it sucks what you have to go thru to find a 100% working controller, i had returned 2 from batch 2035 and found 1 from batch 2034 and have no issues. Quality control aside its great Microsoft increased their warranty to 1 year. The controller itself is super cool though and everything you get with it, the nice case, the charger, interchangeable parts, and the settings you can tweak from the vibration on each motor to the brightness of the logo. Quality issues aside its really a dope gamers controller.

Thank you for sharing your experience; we hope your husband continues to have a lot of fun with it.

      Happy gaming,

    I had a scuff prestige that gave me issues 2 months into ownership and within a year the controller wouldn’t even hold a charge when plugged in while playing. I had enough of scuff then found this on sale for like $40 off and it’s more comfortable and reliable than scuff. Love the easily removable triggers on the back and the metal d pad. Even the carrying case it comes in is so smooth. This is the controller for console not scuff trust me

    Doesn't Have Rear Paddles/Buttons!!

    I use a Scuf Reflex PS5 controller for a lot of my gaming that has rear paddle buttons. Some of the games launched on my PC through the XBox app don't play nicely with that controller so I thought I would pick up an equivalent XBox controller. Much to my dismay there aren't any rear paddles on this "elite" controller!!!!! I never would have even thought to check if that's something an "elite" controller came with or not...the PlayStation equivalent includes them. Disappointed that XBox/Microsoft would even have this as an option and wouldn't explicitly call out that there are no paddles on this "elite" controller. But I do have spaces where paddles are supposed to go that I can look at I guess. Not sure what the point of this controller is compared to the standard XBox controller.
