    Love the grip now wrapping all the way around the controller. The paddles were resized and feel much more natural. The added third hairpin trigger settings are nice as well, allowing for further customization. No issues with bumpers going out or stick drift yet a few weeks in of several hours of daily use.

    Great controller that is responsive and feels like a high quality product. I've tried other brands of controllers with paddle buttons, and preferred this one. It is more expensive than I would like, but it is noticeably better than the stock controllers.

    This is the best controller I've ever had, and I'm not just saying that. Has the best grip, joystick feel and customization out of any I've tried before, and the charging dock it comes with it simply magical. Highly recommended to pro and casual gamers alike!

    Overall a great controller. Tons of customization in both hardware and software. Minus one star as the left stick has major drift issues. It's being taken care of Microsoft under warranty, but requires sending it out before a replacement is sent back.

    It's a lot more expensive that a regular controller for something I'm not really getting 100% out of. If you already like a regular Xbox controller you won't mess with the parts much. The internal battery and charging case is cool. The feel is nice, I get the point of paddles but idk when you will really use them

    It’s really good it feels comfortable. I have no issues with it works great. The only problem I had that it doesn’t like work with Bluetooth with my PC but I think I have a bad Bluetooth receiver on my PC so that is not something I have against the controller I plug. It’s a braided wire that comes with it and it works really great. Mind you it is a cheaper version of the elite so it doesn’t come with the back paddle. You have to buy those separately, but I don’t actually use them much so I don’t worry about it.

    Best official Xbox controller around. Love the paddles and adjustability of certain aspects. Main dislike is the seemingly short lifespan of the sticks. Very common issue.
