    Great controller for any Xbox gamer. I have the protection plan on this, which I would highly recommend! I've already replaced 2 previous controllers, not because of the quality of it, just because of how much it gets used (and probably dropped).

    [Employee of bestbuy] The controller is built much better than a standard xbox controller. The sticks are also a huge improvement over the standard controllers.

    It's lighter than the original elite 2 controller. Only thing is you have to buy the paddles for the back controls separately. Other than that it is an awesome addition to my collection.

    This is a controller for my son and he absolutely loves how you’re able to customize so many different things on this controller. I recommend buying the geek squad protection
