Wonderful controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a big fan of the elite series one controller and for those who are the same I will leave these comparisons if you're trying to make a decision on whether to buy the new one. The grip has changed from the soft touch to a more textured rubber. I'm not as big of a fan of it but that will be personal preference. The paddles have been improved, previously The originals were so large that I would usually take two off because they would get in the way. They have now shrunk them and shaped them in such a way that I can comfortably hold the controller while leaving all four on. The shape of the controller is still the original and not the newer design of the series X, which is unfortunate because I believe the series X style is a more comfortable fit. There's also no new share button and the profile button cannot be programmed to become the share button. I have yet to experience any stick drift or any of the other common problems that seem to occur with the elites. However, I have only owned this for a month and I never experienced any of those problems on my original. Overall, I believe if you were a fan of the original Elite you will be a fan of the series two.

Better than Scuf
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this controller for about 3 weeks nlw with no issues at all. I have also owned at least two scuf controllers and each scuf controller had issues at least 1 week aster use. This controller sensitivity is excellent and the adjustable triggers makes it great for Call of Duty and Warzone. The back paddles uses an app to configure them how you would like and is a very easy to use. This controller quality wise is better than any scuf or console controller i have ever used. I use this for my PC and dont own an Xbox Series X or S although for PC this controller is a beast. For quality this controller beats anything out right now. I know that PS is coming out with its own controller with back paddles, but from early reports is going to be significantly more expensive than this controller. If the Elite controller ever starts experiencing issues, i may give the PS controller a try.

Bet Controller...Period!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! When you open the box and pick up the controller for the first time you will notice the difference right away. It just feels right in your hands and works well. The extreme customization is amazing. I love being able to switch from Forza to CoD with the press of a button. Its expensive but totally worth it for dedicated gamers. Battery life is unreal!

Get some paddles
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think personally for me the only way to play any console games is on a controller like this, whether you play Xbox or PlayStation paddles have been such a game changer. As for this specific controller it has served me well and I think it is a solid choice without being too pricey.

Great quality, worth the extra
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very responsive in comparison to many other gamepads I have used. Very solid feel. Fully charged battery seems to last forever. Have played over 10 hours and the bluetooth monitor shows that I am still around 90%. Works well with the bluetooth module built into my MSI X570 Tomahawk motherboard. Worth the extra you pay. Pros: Responsive and wider turning in Need for Speed, Dirt and other racing games. Long battery life Adjustable sticks (comes with the screw driver to increase the tension) Works well with Bluetooth Charges via USB C connector Cons: Really none except to get the extra paddles and sticks you have to purchase the accessories kit

Next version needs Hall
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Minor stick drift until some tuning. I owned the previous elite so I knew what I was getting. I just love the weight, build quality (less the sticks) and MS needs to use Hall next time. Perfect controller if they did.

Xbox Elite Gaming Controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second elite controller I’ve bought. My first one I purchased a long time ago and it finally gave out. Instead of trying something else I bought another one because in my opinion there is no better controller. You won’t regret this purchase.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this product.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to share my positive experience with the Xbox controller I recently purchased. It is incredibly convenient, customizable, and easy to use. I particularly appreciate the ability to choose a D-pad that suits the game I'm playing, rather than being limited to a single cross or round pad. The round pad works best for fighting games, while the cross D-pad is ideal for older games where diagonal movement isn't necessary. Using it on my Windows PC has been seamless; it connected instantly without any issues. The availability of downloadable software to customize the back paddles is also a significant plus. While I personally haven't used this feature, it's definitely super useful for accessibility and for those who need it.

Son is Happy.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift purchase for my son, he is pretty anti-xbox controller but I convinced him it is more comfortable than being tethered to the PC with his PS5 controller. He enjoys it and no stick drift as of yet.

Best controller I’ve ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply put, this is the best controller I’ve ever used. I love all of the customizations that can be made between the stick tensions, trigger locks, button mapping and multiple profiles. Love the rechargeable battery and the long charging cord. Only con would be the price. Wish it was about $40-0 less expensive. But no other controller can compare. Love it!

Great customization to this controller and it offers hours of play in which you can charge it up. It comes with wire usb.

Solid PC controller. Buy the Xbox adapter.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a pro-gamer, and I know my PC gaming wasd breathen might look down their collective noses at an “elite controller,” but this has been a super worthwhile purchase for a few reasons (coming from an Xbox/pc controller that had the gold texture grips and AA batteries): 1) rechargeable battery is so much better than the removable AA. Charge lasts WAY longer. 2) USB-C, because in 2021 ain’t no got time for usb-a (a long and successful life). 3) I find the wireless response time to be much better than previous controller. Quick note: I have an usb Xbox wireless adapter, never in my life have I been able to get any controller working over just Bluetooth. Save yourself a headache and get the wireless adapter if you’re using this with Windows. 4) The weight is perfect, you could use it to club someone with if you have to but that’s because of the density, not because it’s a massive lead weight. Hands feel great wielding this bad boy. Yeah it’s not cheap, but you know where the money went when you hold it in your hand.

Good Controller for the cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My other controller finally died on me after 2 years, so I decided to buy this one. Highly recommend if you already have the paddles and are looking for a good controller.
