    Great Controller, Poor Quality Control

    This controller feels great in the hand and has a very nice weight and a overall premium fit and finish. I love the back paddles and the magnetic swap-able stick heads. The best feature of the controller in my opinion is that you can tighten the tension of the thumb sticks which is a game changer for me since I’ve always found the stock Xbox sticks to be too loose. The reason I’m giving this controller 2 stars is because the first controller I got had a loose and jiggly d-pad with both the circle and cross head on the right side of the d-pad. I exchanged the controller and the second one was even more loose then the first one so I decided to return it. I understand there’s always going to be defective products (especially with game controllers) however the fact I got 2 defective controllers back to back is unacceptable in my book for a premium controller that retails for $180.

    This is my second elite controller. I've had it for a little over a year and the buttons are already going to crap. It gets a three because when it works it's great. However, I wouldn't recommend this controller to anyone.

    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.

    This controller is amazeballs!! The programmable 4 back paddles are a game changer. Takes awhile to program for different games and profiles but it’s worth it. Only for experienced gamers!- if you’re a newb concentrate on learning how to play first because this will confuse tf out of you but long time gamers don’t read anymore BUY NOW!!

    Feels very solid. I've only used it for about an hour but the quality seems really good. Everything about it just feels like higher quality than the regular controller.

    Amazing controller !!! I have been playing Video games for serval years now and have gone through a lot of controllers. The Xbox elite controller has been by far the best. Longevity and ability to program your controller to fit your gaming style is amazing.

    This controller serves me well for gaming sessions. I’ve never had any issues with battery life, and the hand feel is second to none. My only complaint is that paddles and other thumb sticks are sold separately, but other than that this controller hits above its price point.

    This controller is great. Super easy to change the D-Pad or the joysticks. My A button feels a bit sticky although it has not messed with my playing yet. Mapping buttons to the back paddles is extremely easy and can be done at anytime. If you do not want to use the back paddles, they come out very easy. This controller is great if you like to customize and plan on using the back paddles. I use the paddles not competitively like one would assume so even just mapping the A button to the back top right paddle can be nice for some.

    I'm super amazed at this controller. Received as a birthday present from wife. Apparently the BB employee pointed her in the PROPER DIRECTION... she knows I'm a hardcore gamer and wasn't looking for or needing a typical controller. This thing is a beast! I haven't even begun to exploit the power, but I've built a couple of game specific control schemes and felt the difference in make-quality. The internal battery life (~15-20 hrs) is definitely better than what I've gotten from my recharger packs from Nyko charging base (typically 10+hrs). And looking forward to solid compatibility with Series X systems!
