    I tried other controllers including Scuff and I believe so far these controllers are better. They seen durable able to tweek the resistance some on each stick which is a plus. Connectivity to PC seem to be alot better than Scuff as well. I recommend these.

    This thing is a game changer. Having the back paddles for traditional button actions makes the controller competitive. You have the ability to never lift your thumbs off the joysticks. Increases reaction times for all mechanics of your gameplay. Solid build. Long battery life. Full access to detailed settings. You’ll find yourself building complex profiles for each game with this controller. Does so much more than just control your game.

    This is really an elite controller. Very well built and is easy to use. This is cheaper than a custom controller and has every feature that a custom one has. XBox did an excellent job with this.

    Bought this for easy pc gaming, connected with no issues and feels great to use. There is an app in the microsoft/windows store app that lets you update the firmware and gives you customizable options and profiles. Only gripe with it was that i had to find out about the firmware and profiles through a youtube video.

    This is by far the best controller I've ever used. It's built really well and feels good in my hands. Having the trigger settings and removable buttons as well as 3 on the fly programmed settings takes this controller over the top. The price tag will make you consider not buying but after pulling the trigger I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The 40 hour built in battery and charging dock are another added bonus to this nifty controller. Highly recommend.

    Love this controller and the customizable options. Takes a bit of time to get used to the paddles after so many years with a standard controller, but well worth re-training myself to use it.

    Arrived fast and packaged well. This controller is a huge step up from the OEM controller that comes with the console. If you're serious about your gaming and want to take your play to the next level, this Elite controller with mappable buttons is a MUST have.

    My go to controller. High quality, triggers are adjustable (although i didn't really change them often.) Also the extra buttons on the back are nice, but haven't really needed to use them. Still love the case, the charging, and the feel of it. Expensive, but worth it

    super comfortable controller but my only issue, which it very well could be only mine, is that the A button has a deadzone on the bottom of it so I have to press it a bit more cautiously. Other than that, it is fantastic.

    Love the controller, it is amazingly effective and feels great. However, I had to purchase a second one after the first one started having problems after a year. Love it though so bought a new one at full price. Would only buy if you won't be hurting after your 200 controller starts to break down in a year. Use it for Halo, COD, and Skyrim.

    Nothing too special. If you have the money and really could use the additional buttons or customization, then you would appreciate all the features. I wish the rubber was a little more grippy. I haven't had any issues with mine and hoping I dont, but have heard of others having issues. I think for what you are getting, its a bit pricey.
