I am barely going to use this
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the pieces being held magnetically and the Bluetooth capability. The option of easily switching between devices (PC to Xbox vice versa) with the push of the same button twice is something that I never thought I needed.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller you can buy. Being built out of metal gives a nice weight and feel that I prefer over any scuf or standard controller

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for our Grandson. He seems to think it is great! Just what he wanted and says it’s so much easier and more maneuverable than his old controller.
I would recommend this to a friendIt WAS great.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

Best controller yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works so smooth and easy love the paddles easy to map
I would recommend this to a friendBought as a gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it for my boyfriend. He loves the controller and might get me one. Its just exspensive. But the amount of settings you can change and add ons you can buy for it are cool and useful
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Button quality
'A' button has major sticking issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall feel is good, it doesn't feel cheap. But the A button sticking prevented me from gracefully climbing into my favorite camping spot in Modern Warfare. It sticks down every 4 to 5 presses. Now sold out so swapping isn't even an option, might just upgrade the grips on my elite 1 and push it back into service. Revisit this controller when the kinks have been worked out.

Great performance, terrible reliability
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had to buy 6 of these now, the bumpers keep failing on me. I love the controller but hate the reliability.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Excellent controller
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent remote I love the buttons on the bottom or the paddles. That’s what you wanna call them makes it easier. You don’t have to let go stick.

Not worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had to replace atleast 5 of my Elite controller series 1 for one reason and one reason only. Terrible bumpers. Luckily I always had geek squad protection. I was hopeful with the release of this controller and thought they would up the quality of ther high-end controller but I was disappointed. After about 2 weeks the bumpers became extremely inconsistent and started to register 2 clicks instead of 1. You can imagine how annoying that would be in a game of fortnite for example. If you’re looking to buy, I highly, HIGHLY, suggest getting the geek squad protection plan because 9/10 you will need it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic controller. Unfortunately I was not able to use it as I wanted to. Nvidia Shield TV is not compatible nor WebOS for LG. I wanted to play on GeForce Now.
