    Best controller if you are using steam on your PC I would advise to get the protection plan, xbox controllers can stop working for no reason (according to some reddit posts) or stick drift and this one is no exception something that has not happened till this day with my ps4 ps5 and switch controllers on my pc, mines has not had issues so far, but I can say by far its the best controller I own

    Controller is good, but quality could be better.

    I really like the design and feel of the controller. The extra paddles on the bottom are very helpful on games that allow for button customization. My biggest disappointment with the controller is that some buttons become sticky over time where they fail to register in-game. Also, thumbstick drifting becomes an issue over time. I have had to replace this controller already for this issue. Paying $180 for a controller that fails only after a few months of use is VERY disappointing.

    I was worried about stick drift when I first got this controller and returned it originally before deciding I would buy it again, but it's yet to happen to me and I really enjoy this controller. Ironically, Xbox has perfected and redone the design over the past couple years instead of releasing an Elite Series 3. Additionally, they purposefully made the Xbox Series X controllers small, and I think it was so people would buy the bigger Elite Series 2 controller. Because that's why I bought it, the regular Xbox Controllers and smaller and awful compared to this.

    I got this for my husband as he's hard on controllers, and after having one of these before he broke a button after a few years, he was excited not only at the replacement, but also at the color choices that there are for these now.

    I bought this as a gift for someone who had the version one and he truly enjoys this one better. Says it feels better and smoother along and enjoys it being charged 4 days at least with no battery. And he games a lot

    I love this controller, it feels very premium in my hands. Super nice material, and the buttons are satisfying to press. Decent bit of customization you can do with the physical buttons, then switch the “button binds” in the accessories app. I unfortunately broke my old one, but I loved the controller enough to where I may end up buying another

    An excellent product from Xbox. I went in a little later to search for a new controller and found this one. When I went to checkout, it seemed as though my presence upset one of the employees, due to having one last customer for the night. There was no obvious signs of disrespect, just something I picked up while being there. Anyway, great product, great quality and I'm hoping it'll last for years to come.

    Great controller. Once i got used to the paddles, it really helps with FPS games. It’s nice not having to remove your thumbs from the sticks. It is a little pricey, so let’s hope it holds up for a casual gamer.
