    Great sticks! And fair price point even with buying the kit for extra paddle's and such.

    I've owned this controller for 6 months and my biggest concern was the quality, I'm glad to report I have not had any issues with this controller and I use it on both my Xbox and a gaming PC.

    Buy it with a warranty. Go read the reddit thread. The controller feels great in the hand and the paddles are wonderful. The stick drift and other issues... I have (2) elites and one is with Microsoft for repairs and this one from Best Buy is getting exchanged as the right stick started having major drift issues tonight.

    Wish I would have spent the money sooner. Buttons underneath are placed great and no battery pack underneath means no random disconnects.

    If you’re serious about gaming.. this is it.. just make sure you purchase the warranty plan at bb. These fail sometimes within 2 years.. the warranty will take care of it for you!

    Interferes with some bluetooth headsets

    I had to return this item because it would not work over bluetooth while I had my Sony 1000XM4 connected. It took me a really long time to figure out that there was bluetooth interference happening. I'm not sure if it is just that specific model of bluetooth headphones or if other devices will interfere as well, but the controller is unusable in bluetooth mode if there is interference.
