THE controller to own
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once you go elite there's no turning back. Get the warranty though they break sometimes.
I would recommend this to a friendGood thought, but kinda clunky
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For people with small hands like me, they may find the larger size due to the built in battery cumbersone. That is another downside, if the battery starts to fail, you can't replace it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCan't be beat

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must buy for Xbox series X gamers. Excellent product
I would recommend this to a friendgreat if you already have the other bits
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great if you already have the other bits from an elite controller.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat at first but flawed over time
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality control is non existence with these. I have been thru 3 in the past several years. 2 elite version 1's and about to return version 2. Make sure you get a protection plan on these. Due to all these controllers becoming prone to controller drift. Hints why Microsoft extended the warranty on them due to the class action lawsuit.
I would recommend this to a friendElitist
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its elite for a reason. Adds a next level to gaming and much better than a Scuf
I would recommend this to a friendFeels good until it falls apart
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good as long as it holds up. The Gen 1 version of this controller broke every 3-6 months. Bumpers and buttons would literally fall off. I replaced it with this one, and the first one out of box had a bad thumbstick. The second one, which I'm now using seems solid. Feels great to use but the durability leaves a lot to be desired.

Not a quality controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Same problem all new elite controllers have. RB just quits working and right analog stick starts to drift in a couple of months. Buy the replacement warranty. You're going to need it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend You won’t regret
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome controller that is well built and designed. Never going back to standard controllers. Expensive but worth it.
