    Absolutely love using these controllers but the longevity of the sticks before stick drift kicks in is killing me. On my second controller, the first one both sticks had serious stick drift that I could not handle and my Right Bumper became useless and stopped working. My second one now after six months my right thumb stick is now having stick drift making it impossible to use. Its perfect until issues arise.

    One on the best feeling controllers I have ever owned. The weight is perfect and the additional buttons on the back are awesome! I've had this controller for about 6 months and the A button isn't registering ever hit. I would definitely get the geek squad warranty with this product if you use it often. I walked in told them the button wasn't working and they gave me a new one. Great controller just wears out quickly.

    I love this elite controller. When I saw it, i knew i just had to get it. The color scheme is so dope and so much better than the black one. This controller come with so the extra paddles and stuff but you can go on Amazon and buy the whole set with the case, charging base and and the paddles/thumb sticks. If you want a different feel and look, i would definitely recommend

    It might be a bit hard to swallow the extra cost of this controller but it is well worth the price. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, shape, and weight of the controller especially if you have been using the standard controller for a long time. Love that you can customize the buttons and triggers to your liking as well as the config of the buttons. An extra bonus is the battery life (which I didn't expect).

    Off the rip you can tell it is a lighter and smaller controller that the Elite. However this version is a quality controller. I play various FPS games along with some fighting games and well you can imagine these controllers take a beating. I had some concerns about shortcomings with this version of the elite. Outside of the missing paddles, (Thankyou Scuf) for the accessories it has been all up hill. The down side is you can not modulate the sticks like Eswap but that controller for console has its own issues. Anyway I would definitely recommend it and would venture back in to it should I need or better put when I need another one. Thank you BestBuy and to your customer service team. It is awesome being able to be in store and get real time responses to your questions from knowledgeable and friendly people.

    I loved my elite controller, it felt good on the hands although after a while u can start to feel the weight but u can customize this controller to whatever feel better to you. I love that u can change pretty much everything. Would definitely recommend if u wanna step your game up a notch.

    Is my 3rd Elite 2 controller. I actually returned the last one. So xbox controllers feel good on hands. But they have a a lot of drift on their stick. Yea thats not from using the controller it comes with it. At least the ones I owned had that problem

    I love the controller and the buttons on the back. But some times the front buttons (A,B,X,Y) are not very responsive. Even so the controller it’s awesome.
