    Expensive. But this is really one of the best controllers out there that won't developed a drift.

    Amazing controller, it may be overpriced but it's amazing for competitive gaming. I got lucky because I bought it as Open Box, but it works perfect. Tip: if you get one open box try it with the Xbox Accessory app and see if there is any issue with it, if there is return it ASAP, if not enjoy cause it's amazing!

    Like the heavier remote. Wish you could map out the extra buttons for more potential controls like mapping a PC keyboard. Previous owner clearly was hard on their equipment on even refurbished value was 3/5, maybe.

    Good quality feeling controller, awesome that it includes a charging dock, worth the price for a major upgrade to the original controller that comes included with the console. Would be better if they used Hall effect thumb sticks, or at least have them be interchangeable for when they wear out

    When i tell you this remote is exactly what any gamer wants i mean it. I have plenty of remotes and i also have the playstation pro remote when i say this dominates the playstation pro remote its because it has 4 back paddles interchangeable magnetic thumb sticks if you have any doubt go with the xbox elite

    the controller doesn’t come with the paddles or all the other fancy things the full elite controller kit comes with. But regardless, the controller is still and upgrade over the standard Xbox gamepad. With its insanely good battery life (I charge mine maybe once a month) and the ability to adjust the stick tensions, I think this is worth it for every Xbox user

    This is a hefty controller that definitely feels premium at first touch. Don't let the weight fool you, though, as it's still the same mediocre controller underneath and will suffer from the same points of failure as any other xbox controller. Definitely not worth the price.
