    This controller improves upon everything I love about the normal Xbox controllers. The tactile feel of the grips is great, the dpad circle works surprisingly well, and I love the trigger adjustment.

    Good controller but didn’t last long. My son gets a lot of wear and tear on controllers but I was hoping this higher end one would be more durable

    I love this controller but just after about a month of actual use, the right joystick has slight drifting.... for something as expensive as this I'd expect the controller to be tougher than this. Ive never experienced this with any of my other xbox one controllers.

    Huge upgrade from the standard controller. Feels substantial. Comes with extra sets. Y button seems to be a little particular but that is apparently a common complaint. Expensive, but xbox packaging and accessories make it feel worth the money

    I love this controller. It has definitely elevated my gaming to the next level in almost every aspect. The only reason I’m giving a 4/5 review is because the left thumbstick on the controller has malfunctioned after only 8 months of owning it.

    Fantastic controller. The only complaint I have is that it is too small and often feels uncomfortable because of it.

    If your in the market or looking for another controller this one is a no brainer... type c charging... case as charging base... the ability to configure the way you prefer. Big upgrade from the original Elite controller. This is the second one I ordered. Ready for the xbox series x.

    These controllers are awesome but the build quality is terrible. After a few months the grips are coming off again. Ive had a few of these and the same problem still remains.

    My husband spends time on his Xbox most every night. He has had the original Elite controller ever since it first came out. Someone we know accidentally broke one of the bumpers, so I surprised him with this for Christmas. He loves it even more than his last one, and that's saying something.

    My new favorite xbox controller. I have been wanting to try this controller for a long time and when I started getting into Souls games, it tipped me over the edge. It's been a wonderful controller for ease of use with soul's games.

    Great controller! Allows more buttons to be assigned. Trigger locks and analog adjuster (both physical key and software adaptable) make the controller adaptable for any gamer!
