    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    So worth it, buy on sale + geek squad protection

    This controller is DEFINITELY way higher quality than the basic xbox controllers. The ability to create custom button mappings for different games is awesome. The paddles take time to get used to using, but once you master them you will see a major difference in your competitiveness on FPS games. The controller also allows you to adjust the stiffness of the analog sticks, and adjust the tension of the triggers which also helps give you a slight edge. The gripped handles mixed with the weight of the controller make the controller sit perfectly in your hands. I have read some complaints about the controller having drift issues, and bumper problems in the future. I have not had this issue yet, however I would say do what I did: buy the controller on sale or have bestbuy price match a competitor, and spend the difference on geek squad protection. (I bought the controller for $100 using price match, than spent basically the difference on geeksquad protection. This basically equated to the same price as the controller) doing that gives you 2 years of protection.

    Had the controller for 6 months, worked great, then R1 stopped being responsive. Now it takes a huge amount of force for it to register. Overall, the gamepad is ok, but besides the materials i think a regular series controller is better than this.

    Had issue with Buttons going out! Controller is very solid and feels high quality. Quality control could use work for functionality! Heard not all of the controllers have issues so you could get lucky and if you do its probably the best controller out there when it works!

    I was leery to pick up another expensive controller since the v1 grips peeled on mine. It has been a few months of average use and I see much improvement. It feels great in my hand, grips are a little light but I’ve had no issues with it slipping. Battery life is good and I enjoy the new charging station. I really don’t use the back buttons all that much so I won’t speak in their function. The triggers are smooth but again not all games recognize the short trigger pulls. Overall it’s a great controller that is more of a luxury item over a need. If you have the funds, go for it. If not, you won’t miss a lot

    Fantastic product, I use it every single day and have had absolutely zero problems with controller updates, movement on screen, and connectivity. The customization of the controller is fantastic and the price is well worth the gaming experience. As an added bonus, the 2 year warranty Best Buy provides for this product is the exact reason I chose to shop with Best Buy in the first place. 10/10

    The controller has been rock steady for almost a year now and still performs flawlessly. It was easy to set up on the PC and has never had issues with connecting, or disconecting during gaming with the bluetooth connection. The battery life is very good as well, this will go several weeks without needing to charge for daily gaming. Highly recommend this product to anyone.

    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.

    Better then using a regular controller. The Elite controller is an amazing controller in my book. Playing call of duty for amount of years and playing this game....most of my controllers are wear and tear. But the Elite is holding strong. An I mean strong. You can feel the difference. Buy an Elite controller...it will change the game play.

    I’ve owned two series 1 elites and so far this controller is quite the improvement for the most part. The buttons all feel about the same, but the grips seem to be implemented far better than the series 1’s grips. The only minor nitpick I have is the buttons (namely the paddles) feel almost too click (this is a matter of personal preference really), and they’re also slightly different in their shape compared to the series 1, which I thought it’s paddles were just fine and didn’t need tweaked. Other than that very minor gripe I think I love it. The rechargeable

    Love this controller. I had one previously but lost it so I went back to basic controllers for a while but had to purchase another Elite controller. Almost a must have in my opinion for any xbox/pc gamers who enjoy handheld.
