    As my title says, this controller is very comfortable in my hands. I have bigger hands so that was important to me. The weight is perfect and it pairs right up with Windows 11 without an issue.

    Expensive but fun addition to my console.

    The first thing I noticed was the heft of the controller. This thing is rock solid. I will say, playing with all four paddles didn’t let me get as good a grip as I wanted, so I only play with the top two (I have large hands and the lower ones got in the way), but I enjoy the advantage of being able to keep my thumb planted on the right stick. There is slight drift in the right stick out of the box and adjusting the stick tension did not fix it. That being said, it is so slight it’s so far only registered when looking at the map in Warzone. It otherwise has not affected my play. The short-throw trigger setting is great for any repeated with the trigger motion (e.g., semi-auto shooting). The paddles let me crouch and jump while aiming in CoD like the PC players, replace my stick presses for added finesse in NHL, and make some fun paddle shifters in Forza. Definitely a fun addition to my One X and happy to know it is forward compatible for the transition to the Series X. If you have the money to burn, it’s a fun addition, but not a necessity.

    If you’re a regular gamer, this is the most comfortable, and durable controller you will ever need. Very easy setup, and customization options. Ive had mine for over a year, use it 30+ hours a week and it still works without a problem. Amazing

    I have owned the original Elite controller for years. I have replaced parts rather than purchased this newer version, but i am extremely happy with the upgrade. This controller is lighter and feels great in my hands. I am sorry I didnt replace my original elite controller sooner.

    Thisbis my 4th elite controller. The controller itself is amazing but it will not stand up to the riggers of competitive play. It lasts me about a year before I start losing the RB button and about a month later I'll develop drift. The controller us amazing beyond those issues.

    BEST CONTROLLER

    Great solid controller. Has perfect weight comes with charging case that you can charge controller IN!!!! Over all worth every penny if you play Xbox or pc at all. I have used a lot of controllers in my life and this by far exceeds the rest. Also, has extra paddles for the back and extra buttons in the case. Buttons are metal not plastic so it makes a huge difference when playing and they remove effortless by magnets.

    Great controller, lots of customization available for mapping and trigger sensitivity. Has a built in rechargeable battery that seems to last forever. I can start gaming in the morning and 12 hours later it still says it’s at full. I also like that you can charge it in the case with either the usbc cable or the magnetic dock. Only time will tell how long the battery will last as it ages but so far it’s the best controller I have ever owned.

    Great controller if you have some extra money lying around to splurge. Personally, it was a bit much for the cost, and I find it better to just grab a strike pack for the paddles and use an original Xbox one controller instead of the new one (afaik they don’t make them for the new controller right now). TLDR: get it if money isn’t an issue and you want more than two paddles, otherwise buy strike pack
