    This Xbox elite controller is so cool. I like the color blue on it and is made out of good quality. I like the rubber grip and it gives a good gaming experience.

    This controller is a must for anyone serious about gaming. Made with much higher quality parts than the standard controller. You can feel the weight. The additional paddle controls make it great for adding a jump button so you don't have to take your thumb off the air stick.

    It’s a beautiful and great controller, sometimes struggles to update via Xbox and will randomly disconnect , other than that works well!

    I stick by the elite controllers, they have an amazing hand feel and the paddles on the rear are in absolute perfect positioning for my hands - biggest reason I keep returning to them, I can’t game without them now it’s almost like you forget they’re there and it just becomes a regular button that naturally integrated. My only complaint is the bumpers- the elite controllers are notorious for having the bumpers go out after a year or two ( and the grips start popping off, but some precision super glue or adhesive and it’s like nothing ever happened ) so you do end up needing to replace them every couple years - I’m on my 4th elite controller since the very first gen 1 elite controller release.

    I use this on PC and I find it to be a stellar controller, even more so as a guy that came from console to PC. I do use it connected and not over Bluetooth, however the responsiveness, weight, and overall feel are among the best I’ve ever used. The highly recommended this controller to any console or PC gamer!

    I never really understand limited I'd been using standard controllers are until getting the Xbox Elite controller. With the paddles and customization I can react faster and my hands are more comfortable after long gaming sessions. Doesn't matter if I'm gaming casually or competitively using this controller has become a must.

    Excellent feel and fantastic look! This controller is lighter than the elite 2 in black which makes seem like a cross between the standard controllers and the elite 2 and it costs less than the elite 2 black. Get it!

    Let me start with the positives. The magnetic analog sticks are extremely nice and easy to change, the trigger settings are also easy to use and a welcome feature, and the paddles are well placed and customizable. The controller feels premium in your hands as well. The problem is there is a noticeable amount of stick drift, the pads on the switches for the triggers are coming off, and the controller gets very warm in your hands making them sweat. Also the A,B,X, and Y buttons just don't register sometimes leading to multiple presses being required. For the price point these issues shouldn't be there. I would recommend getting a scuff controller if you're looking in this price range.

    Very nice controller, easy to adjust to your requirements. Buttons are crisp and able to be adjusted as are the joysticks. The only draw back is a known issue with these controllers, stick drift. I had to return my first one after 5 months due to extreme drift in the left controller.

    Love the Elite 2 controllers. Back peddles add an entirely new element of gameplay that I am unable to live without. There are 2 common defects however that lead to having to exchange on several occasions. Those defects are stick drift or bumper malfunction. After a year, one of these issues are sure to arise. I would advise on getting the extended warranty. This issues are very common in All controllers, but this product is quite a lot for a yearly investment.

    Comparing this with the series X stock controller. A significant improvement. Good quality weight. Quality metal used. I do wish there were resistive triggers like on the PS5 or a Taptic Engine instead of a traditional vibration motor, but still a fantastic, click controller.

    Overall this controller is as it is marketed “elite”. The controller feels premium. Holding it side by side with a standard xbox controller this one feels way better. Totally would recommend.

    Love the dimming of the home button. Really long lasting battery. But the A X B and Y button felt unresponsive. I was soft to push them as I'm not trying to damage the buttons. I had to press unusually hard to get the buttons to work. But definitely heart breaking when your dogs get to it. :'(
