pricey but worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very sturdy controller. I do have latency issues sometimes when gaming but its not terrible. I had this controller for about 2 months now and game about 4 to 8 hrs a week and have yet to recharge it.

Good controller, just not durable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller was good. Concept is great but the bumpers lost functionality after 6 months of using.
I would recommend this to a friend Almost Perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.

- Cons mentioned:Bumpers
A consistent issue.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good piece for about 6 months, then the bumpers start to fail. It’s a long term problem with Xbox controllers which hasn’t been fixed throughout the life of the Xbox one-series x system. Controller has never been dropped and always placed in its case between uses. Still great technology, would buy again.
I would recommend this to a friend Great but bumpers break quickly.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my elite controller and wouldn’t go back to regular one, but if you’re a heavy player I’d suggest getting warranty. The actual controller bumpers tend to break fairly quickly and I hope they build something more durable in the next gen. Also wished they add more colors/customization.

Spectacular Controller
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently switched over to Xbox and this is by far the best gaming controller I've ever used. It's hard for me to play with any other controller once I used this. Completely worth the money!

great controller for pc gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good; I like that I can adjust the trigger pressure so that I barely have to tap it for it to press. Sometimes it lags, this may be due to the bluetooth connection. I use it with my PC, so that might be why ? otherwise, great controller

Elite
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best controller I’ve used for the Xbox so far. It is very responsive and the customization options for the D-pad and thumb sticks are needed for shooters.
