I know he doesnt make the rules but bestbuy as s conpany shouldn’t let that happen where a warranty is a one time use and microsoft needs to rlly upgrade there tech because stick drift put the box charging 179 or copy PlayStation with the sticks when it works its the best controller when it doesnt its like a raging headache

    It took me years to finally buy this controller. I’m happy with it. I’d say this is worth it if you play FPS games (WZ, COD, etc.). Using the paddles gives you the ability to do things like reload or armor up or mark locations - without moving your thumbs from the buttons or joystick. The weight of the controller is legit too. It feels like good build quality. One of the things that this got rid of for like 2 weeks was controller drift. After a couple weeks, it came back but was less intense. All in all I’d say if you are thinking about this and play FPS games, do it!

    Worked smoother than an XBOX One remote. Appears to be of higher quality and more durable which is important.

    It’s very very expensive. With that said it’s a nice quality build with a lot of mod features. It’s a great controller for COD and other FPSs. It is and improvement on the Elite 1 series.

    Definitely worth the extra money, between the programmable buttons, and different lengths for the analog sticks. Feels expensive too.
