    The controller constanlty disconnects from the xbox even though it was brought gomd earlier the same day, wont stay on for more than 5 minutes at a time. I was so happy to have a new controller too, just for it to not work.

    Get this controller on sale for any kind of value. Buy the warranty!!! Triggers and sticks will mess up not the grip this time. It’s a great controller but dang it won’t last.

    Trash, run away. For one it's far too heavy. But I'd forgive that if it wasn't complete garbage. I had to return the first one immediately after opening it (the "A" button didn't work). The replacement had a"barely functional" A button that only activated if you pressed it exceedingly hard. At first I was going to try to just use the paddles underneath and basically not need to ever press the A button. But no I'm not going to spend this much on a broken controller so I took the next one back also

    Terrible. Everything will eventually break on this controller. They have a manufacturing warranty for this controller for a reason.

    Only rating 1 star because of the proteion plan they offer on this product. Product is great, very good improvement over the 1st generation elite controller. Getting the protection plan on this product is not worth it. Best buy use to have a store in my area and they closed it. I started experiencing controller drift. I called the 1-800-geeksquad and got transferred multiple times just to be told I have to drive 3 hours to use the protection plan.
