  • High quality controller
I got this for playing games on Steam (pc). I am an avid gamer and have used many different controllers from GameCube to Xbox. My prior controller that I was using was an Xbox Scuff controller. It had worn down after 100+ hours of use: the RB and several paddles had broken. I got this new controller as a replacement. It has several key qualities that I like: 1.) The shaft of the sticks are metal. My prior controller used plastic for the shafts and they would slowly shred from use and leave dust behind. This created an issue where the dust would get into the controller and cause drift. (All controllers have stick drift. It’s where your controller will move your character onscreen without you doing anything. Games incorporate dead zones where the stick inputs are not read. Overtime, controllers get worse and worse drift that go above the dead zone thresholds causing drift.) I have not had any issues with drift on the new controller. 2.) Metal Paddles. These are levers under the controller that allow you to hit your A, B, X, etc… buttons so that you don’t need to move your fingers off of the sticks. Paddles are not included, but you can buy them separately. I highly recommend getting paddles. They make a big difference. My prior controller used plastic paddles that all eventually broke. These paddles are metal and won’t break. They are easy to put on and off. They are placed better for your fingers too. 3.) Adjustable hair triggers. Your RT and LT buttons can be adjusted so that you don’t go all the way down. This is helpful if you only need them to act as “buttons” rather than “triggers” and don’t need the full press down. I personally don’t restrict my triggers, but if you like to then that function exists here. On the back of the controller you can slide a button into 3 different positions to have them be unrestricted, partially restricted, and almost fully restricted. 4.) Braided type C cord. The controller is wireless, but you can use the cord it comes with to have a wired connection to your computer through any USB port. The braided cord feels high quality and is much better that the plastic incased cords. My prior controller used a micro USB connection on the controller which was a crappy connection that would disconnect all the time. The Type C connection is stable and never disconnects while I’m playing. 5.) Satellite D-pad. It looks a little silly but I like the feel of this d-pad better that the “plus” d-pad. Easy to rotate around all of the directions. Here are some of the cons so far: 1.) I got the blue one. The letters inside the A, B, X, Y buttons are blue. So it’s hard to read what button is which. I can see this being annoying for new players. This only bothers me when I go from using a Nintendo Pro controller to this one because they reverse the X and Y (also A and B). I always get them mixed up and I’ll look down at this controller looking for the X button, but it’s hard to see. 2.) Changing the buttons the paddles are linked to is more difficult on this controller than the Scuff controller. The Scuff controller had a much better solution. This one needs a separate app to do it. 3.) The face plate is more difficult to remove. Another minor gripe. Scuff does this better too where you can remove the face plate easily as it is held on with magnets. You probably will never need to do this, but it does help if you need to replace buttons or clean the inside. Overall, I would recommend this controller to a gamer who is looking for a step up from the basic Xbox controller. Definitely geared for a more competitive player. If you are a casual player, then you would be better off with a cheaper controller. Compared to the Scuff controller, I think this one is better overall. From a price standpoint, it is also better. ... show more

  • Best Xbox controller to date.
I was skeptical with a built in battery. If you're worried, don't be. I stream my 12-16 hour game sessions and so far this controller has stood up. The battery hasn't died mid pvp sweat match yet! It does come with a slow usb c charger that I reccomend always using. Do not opt for a high speed port. The slower charger ensures no over charge and a long battery life for your controller. You may be tempted to use a quick charger, and it will in fact work and quick charge but then limit the battery charge duration and the life of the battery resulting in a dead forever contoelelr, don't do it! Charge it overnight with its provided charger and you'll be golden. The core is where it's at with the missing accessories only being about $9 on Amazon, that's a huge win! Controller comes with 3 different profiles you can setup, ability to tighten sticks to barely push them helping if you ever get stick drift tighting will instantly fix said issue! Removable magnetic twist thumb sticks are a huge win here. Curved rear triggers for better shooter grip with 3 adjustable trigger locks that are instantly read when locked so no settings changed mandatory, but would fine tune in Xbox accessories app for better tuning. You can customize in profile for trigger settings for instant head taps. Customizable down to changing the Xbox light color on the controller per profile to help know which profile you're using by color or by 3 light system. Does not have a share or capture button. You'll need to remap one of your buttons as a shift button to hold while you press another button to capture, share, record start, record stop, and record what previously happened. I do this with a paddle then a, b, x, y as shift keys. This controller is heavier than your normal controller, textured triggers and bumpers, the curve on the back triggers it steep so not good if you play games where you have to hold bumper and click trigger as the curve will start to hurt your finger quickly because it is very steep. All in all this is an excellent controller and if you're like me who gets stick drift on new controllers quickly, worry not with this controller. It is excellent and no stick drift issues. Do pre tighten the sticks slightly, quarter turn when you first get it. It will break on and be brilliant for you. ... show more

  • Best controller ever made... I own 5 lol
These feel greatand are very responsive. Compared to dual sense edge they have superior battery life and don't have that sticky plastic feel. However, I have owned 7 elites since the first one and they tend to fail in about a year with significant use... so probably expected. Currently have 2 black, and red, white and blue core. Idk...i have a controller buying issue. I own ebout 40 for all different systems and these are by far the best controllers ever made. ... show more

  • Very solid with good weight
Color: White
Worked great for about a year. Then stick drift showed up. Get insurance if you are a hard player. I think they will just replace the device.
