||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of my best gaming purchases. The weight and quality are exceptional. You really do get what you pay for.
I would recommend this to a friendFeels Great, Poor build quality.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I game, a lot (Mainly FPS). I use this controller sometimes as much as 30 hours a week, and while that is a lot of wear and tear on a controller, I assumed that the high price tag as well as the name "Elite" meant that this controller would be up to the task. I was unfortunately wrong. While the controller feels great in the hands and the added control with the trigger stops, the software stick programming, and the paddles is an awesome addition Microsoft dropped the ball with this product. My number one gripe is that the controller is already experiencing the dreaded stick drift (it actually started about 4 months ago but i put up with it until now) also the RB and LB buttons refuse to work when pushed about 70% of the time which has lost me quite a few gun fights. Luckily for me i bought the replacement plan through best buy and I'm hoping that I just got a bad controller. I guess only time will tell -- I'll make sure to make an update if that controller is better/worse.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSo much better than the basic controller
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Customization at your fingertips, and a USB-C connect and charge port for connecting to PC without Bluetooth. Great for gaming on the Xbox or PC. The included charging station is substantial enough to survive my kids, and uses a magnet to keep the controlled fit snugly while charging.
I would recommend this to a friendThe perfect Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Make awesome the gaming experience; I like the option to personalize it
I would recommend this to a friendGreat with flaws
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After having this controller for a year now, I've decided to write a review. The customization of this controller is awesome. I love the way I have been able to tailor it to my play style. The only issue I've been having for the past few months is that my LB and RB buttons are starting to stick. I've always taken care of my controller, and store it in it's case whenever not in use. Disappointed in the longevity for the price I paid.

Easy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the controller since my old series 2 was broken so i bought this one and it is definitely worth it. Besides the color not being the same there isnt much of a difference controller wise.
I would recommend this to a friend By the bundle not just the core
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

Huge Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this to upgrade from my original Xbox One S controller. It has a very solid feel and switching between the joystick lengths is incredibly simple. The back bumpers are great for FPS games and button mapping is simple.
I would recommend this to a friendNoice!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good weight distribution, premium materials and customization accessories included. Would be nice in other colors or being able to swap out the faceplate, etc. Also, when storing the included USB charging cable in the case along with the controller itself it is advised to remove the sticks so that the cable doesn't potentially cause damage.
