    Can’t use a regular controller again

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    Controller feels to built of decent quality. The only issue that I really have from time to time are the button presses not getting registered. A bit buggy every now and again but still an overall good controller.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.

    It’s a controller

    It does what a controller is supposed to do control a game but wait it has extra buttons! Kidding it does the same thing as a cheapo that comes with your console and if you are sweaty enough to need the ability to adjust your joystick resistance or your trigger engagement/pull distance than this is 100% for you

    If you are a pro gamer then this is a must have for PC or XBOX. Just giving 4 starts because it's still too pricey and would like to see some more dynamic designs of the controller than the classic skin it comes with.

    My husband is hard on controllers. This controller lasts for a long time! It’s the 2nd one we have bought but the first one lasted 3 years and a normal controller that comes with the Xbox lasts him about 6-8 months. He loves the buttons and being able to personalize it to what he wants
