    By far the best controller you can use for Xbox, also compatible with PC and fully programmable on both systems. Built in battery is a perk and carrying/ charging case is great for storing and keeping ready to go.

    Get the warranty or a different controller

    Do not buy without a warranty. It's a great controller, a bit heavy, and feels solid. That being said, it has issues. Took about six months for right shoulder button to double register each press, and I've seen other reviews with similar issues or worse. Don't buy if you can't afford the warranty because you will need it. I love the controller and just hate that it doesn't last.

    I previously had an original elite controller and this upgrade was well worth it! The battery life on the contained battery lasts longer than other plug and play options. The extra hair trigger makes a big difference too. I love it!!

    Amazing for my Windows gaming PC. Sturdy, easy to charge, and fully customizable control is great for all of my gaming needs. Vibration can get a little out of control, but you can adjust to your liking.
