    Perfrct for any gaming purposes and you have customize it to your liking as well by swapping/ mapping out your control stick choices and the extra four buttons on the back of the controller as well, and ofc the controller pack i got does come with the controller sticks and buttons accessories so dont worry.

    Absolutely one of the best controllers I've ever owned. The customizable paddles make for great gaming. And the fact i can set 3 different sets of settings means i don't have to keep changing it for different games.

    Worth the price. Premium controller with back paddles. Comes with replacement parts (buttons, joy sticks, etc). Great for PC games too. Links with xbox on pc and steam very well. My only complaint is that mine didnt come with the replacement back paddles.

    I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres

    (I use my Elite controller on PC only) As a PlayStation owner that uses a Scuf controller, the Elite controller is better. Both have the off-set sticks, However, the Scufs back paddles come downward, therefore, only two are easily within quick reach, and the other two are a stretch to reach further inwards. The Elite's 4 back paddles are all placed where your fingers would be naturally, so access to the paddles are much more comfortable by comparison.

    Decent controller but needs replacement every 12mo

    I like this controller. I’ve had it for about 4 years, but the biggest issue is that I need to replace it at least once within each year, whether it’s due to joystick drift or bumper buttons not working properly. Luckily, I bought the warranty ($60) and I’ve been able to get it replaced without dropping almost $200 every time. Wish it was higher quality but I’ve settled for this because I simply cannot go back to a regular (paddle-less) controller.

    Best Xbox Controller

    The paddles can be a bit stiff, but if you’re trying to take your FPS play to the next level or just looking for a better built controller, this one fits the bill. The top two paddles can be especially stiff. The rest of the controller and it’s features are very nice and you can edit the settings and presets of the controller very quickly while in-game.
