Great Customation
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the triggers on the back and overall build.Ive read about some issues with quality but I have 2 of these two and haven't had any issues.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this controlling in May 2020. 5 months later (October 2020) I have some pretty severe stick drift on my right stick. Microsoft has extended the warranty to 12 months on the controllers due to a lawsuit concerning stick drift but now I have the hassle of having to mail it out for repairs. At this price point I feel like this controller should be pretty close to bullet proof. Especially only after 5 months use. Perhaps look into a scuf controller as they just released a new line for xbox.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Buy warranty
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller when it works, I’ve gone through 4 of them because of wear and tear. Within 6 months i have to get another one, definitely buy warranty if you’re getting this controller.
I would recommend this to a friendBest value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The solid construction and quality of the Elite controller for half the price. Who needs case, extra buttons, and fancy colors.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An upgrade from the past elite controllers… A button still has problems getting stuck though.
I would recommend this to a friendExpensive but worth it if you can swing it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been contemplating getting an elite controller for years and it meets all my expectations. Love the adjustable analog sticks and having an option for convex stick for left side. It's a lot of money, but still cheaper than PC gaming.

Stick drift out the box
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If youre gonna spend 200 on a controller get one with hall effect sticks the elite controllers just dont compare
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAmazing controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it! Great response and feel, but does seem to lose connection at random times. But reconnects after a few minutes. Hopefully an update will fix that issue. Other than that, it’s the best controller I’ve had yet.
I would recommend this to a friendGood- still trying to get a full customization
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely an improvement over the standard controller and it is nice to be able to customize things such as trigger pull depth and the control pads, but not 100% sure it was worth the expense.

Elite control
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller out there. Abke to adjust to your own preference, but a little costly and get the insurance on it.
I would recommend this to a friendBest deal ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sweet open box deal. Get yourself one. Bought 3 and none of the recipients had any complaints.
I would recommend this to a friendBest controller I have ever used
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t know if it’s worth 180, but hands down the best controller I’ve used. It feels real good in your hands, and customizing the thumb sticks feels great. I use it on my pc and I had to buy the Xbox Bluetooth adapter

I would recommend this to a friendOpen Box ftw
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Open box saved me over $80 and the controller was as good as new, not a single part missing. Save your money, buy open box.

Xbox elite controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely garbage and waste of money,it constantly disconnects from Xbox at random times not to mention it won't stay charged at all no matter what I do.Ive used it nearly a month and it already has stick drift which is ridiculous so I'm my personal option just buy a regular Xbox remote don't waste your time on this crap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performance improvement was immediately noticed. I got $40 off retail on the sale and couldn't be happier. My only complaint would be they only provide on long thumb stick and you cant buy another one easy.
