    Very responsive, solid device. Slightly heavy, but in a good way- feels great in your hands.

    If you're serious about customization and gaming this is worth the heavy price tag. I didn't buy it right at release but thought about it for a while. It's the only controller I'll use now and have a configuration for every game I play. After using it all other controllers feel like junk.

    As the title says there isn’t anything on the market on any system that comes close to the elite. The feel, the paddles, the locking triggers, I know it’s a premium price but your getting a premium product. I would recommend this controller to anyone who owns an xbox one.

    I have never had this type of controller (extra, remappable buttons) so I have nothing to compare to but I love it. It's difficult to get used to the paddles especially if you don't play that often but I love the swappable parts and the extra weightiness it has It comes with a 10 foot braided charge cable and I pretty much just leave it plugged in all the time

    Purchased this for my son who plays a lot of Overwatch and Fortnite. Really nice build, hefty. He swapped out some of the knobs for his personal preferences. Has not messed around with some of the customizations, that are available. Biggest negative is that there should be a rechargeable battery pack included with this at the price.

      Hey there,

      What a great gift for your son! We're glad to hear that he's enjoying how the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller can be personalized, and hope that his game performance has been elevated as a result. While the Elite doesn't come with a rechargeable battery, we recommend the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit, which offers up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge and can be fully recharged in under four hours. It can be found on BestBuy.com here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-one-play-charge-kit-black/9008298.p?skuId=9008298

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    Darn Good Controller

    My wife and I play games a lot on DS, Xbox, PS, PC, and anything else with a screen on it. I have got to say that this controller is very different than the standard Xbox One controllers. Very sturdy, magnetic paddles for easy installation or removal, looks great and feels very sturdy. Love the simplistic black and gray design. I would buy another for the wife if it wasn't so expensive but for the amount of money, I think it is worth it.
