Amazing controller if you get a good one out of the box. I had to go exchange it several times until I got one that wasn’t defective. Finally found one that wasn’t and it works/feels great!

So many more features than the gen 1. I find it way more comfortable to hold, it’s lighter, and the thumb sticks feel 10x better. You can also adjust how stiff the thumb sticks are. I tried the one my sister had and knew I needed the upgrade.

Great purchase for open box item is basically brand new

Play about 4 hours a day. This is the only PRO Controller that has been able to withstand my daily playing style. I have tried 3 different companies and they all break within 6 months to a year.

This thing is HEFTY! I cannot express how much better this controller is from a standard XB1 controller. The added paddles are nice, but I really haven't used them that much. There is a program that allows you to map them to your keyboard. The D-Pad is great too.

Bought this as an open box item hoping there would be no issues. Was I pleasantly surprised. No issues at all. Looks and works just like a brand new controller. Love the fit and interchangeable controls. So far playing has been great.

For an elite controller, I have to say it was not sturdy like the previous ones I have purchased. This one felt a bit off due to the thumb knobs feeling rebuilt rather than brand new, which is what I paid for. I previously purchased two black edition elite controllers, and they were built with much stiffer controls and no free traveling effect on the thumbstick, which is why I feel this way. Maybe I just got a bad one. could also be why this red one is less expensive than the all-black one.

The color is nice and the matt black bottons are everything. Loves how comfortable it is in your hand and light.

Great controller ! The protection plan is a need when buying

This thing just fells premium compared to other controllers. I have been using this for a while and when I picked up a normal controller, recently, I couldn't help but thinking the normal controller felt cheap.

I have a rare bone disease in my wrist and it constantly hurts... when I play xbox with the standard controller... OMG. I completely stopped playing xbox because after 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my wrist off. THIS controller is a LIFE saver... having the triggers underneath changed my world. The fact that you can swap certain pieces out is cool too. It is easy to map and connectivity has never been an issue. Before my wrist issues, I played with a standard controller and I actually play BETTER with this one... perhaps a coincidence but I LOVE this controller. I have been using the 1st generation and will continue to until it craps out... this one is a back up that I played with for a few weeks to make sure it worked.

I love how the controller feels in my hands and the ability to adjust my buttons to my needs. Cant play without it

Very nice controller and definitely worth a premium price, but I would wait and try to scoop it up on a sale because $200 is a little steep for an Xbox remote that isn’t a custome built one.

Controller feels amazing and paddles are very nice. Only issue is the left stick. I’d suggest the protection plan if your left stick starts to break or drift. Only reason for the 4 star but best buys coverage is great.

It's the base elite so no back paddles included, if you've used one you already know it's one of the best. The rest comes to personal preferences, I however choose this until I find something better.

I picked up this $180 controller because I wanted to see if Microsoft really made it better than the first one, and I must say after having it for a week of long gaming sessions I can say this: Amazing controller but Microsoft did not need to add the extra $30 to the price tag.

I can't even think of a single negative thing to say about this controller. It's basically perfect, feels great in the hand, and has loads of unique and features. I think the three things that really make this controller a "must have" for any gamer are 1) the adjustable inputs/stick tension. Medium and high bother feel fantastic. Normal controllers don't have enough stick tension for me. Setting the triggers to half just feels right. 2) the swappable sticks. The dome top and tall stick combo do actually make a difference for competitive shooters and 3) The paddle placement is perfect. Assuming this controller holds up for a while, and the QC is in shape, I'd highly recommend.

I have purchased this controller twice since it was released. The accessories that come with the controller are easy to interchange and store when not utilized. I have used the paddles just about every way you can have them, but I only keep two of the paddles connected instead of all four. I would not purchase this product without adding the BestBuy protection plan.

If you wanna be a gold metal championship gaming athletic beast on rainbow 6 siege . i highly recommend this controller . great handle great grip and great customization that fits to your liking

All the sticks and paddles come with this controller. It feels great in your hand.. until you start sweating then the rubber will slip a bit, obviously. Still a great controller. Definitely not worth 200, but its nice.
