However, some owners have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift.

    Love the feel, the connectivity with Bluetooth, this made my gaming experience for Cyber Punk next level. I would recommend this to a friend, I was even able to change out the triggers with the scuf brand I bough off Amazon.

    I was hesitant to purchase this controller based off the reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m not sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    Nice build and weight. Fits in my (admittedly large) hands. Good replacement if your old elite controller starts having drift and you can't wait for Microsoft to send in a refurbished replacement. If using on PC, make sure to update the controller before using it.

    By far the best Xbox Controller I've ever had. I fortunately got it on sale at a great price. The controller itself is the perfect shade of red really put together quite nicely. The packaging itself was very neat and clean. Though most importantly the functionality of said controller is more than ideal for any game. The layout of the controller with extra buttons and quicker response time is ideal for any game. Overall i highly recommend everyone to upgrade to this controller.

    This is my first elite controller and I love it specially because you don’t need batteries, it feels so good in your hands and it’s very responsive I was kinda skittish because I’m so used to playing with kontrol freaks but with this controller you don’t need them, I got this controller while on sale I paid 139 for it and it was worth every penny

    Huge upgrade from standard Xbox controllers

    A great controller overall, got it for my series x. Love the hair trigger and customization features. Expensive but truly feels like a premium controller. Only downsides are that Microsoft will likely introduce a series 3 soon that incorporates haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the share button that is currently on series x controllers in order to compete with the incredible dual sense.

    Overall great high end controller, just be sure to be up to date on the warranty so you can send it in to have the wear and tear fixed. Stick starts to drift after a couple months of heave use which is expected, paddles start to stick, just make sure you send it before the warranty ends.
