    My son is huge into video games. I almost fell over when he told me how much it was but he also explained why it was so expensive. I was sold. I was tired of purchasing controllers. Since I bought this a year ago I haven't had to replace it.

    I will gladly pay twice as much for this because it is so sturdy. The regular controllers break after a year or two so it is worth the investment. I had the original elite for five years and this one is better in every way.

    This newest version of the Elite is great! It's much better than my other Elite. I've had zero connection/audio issues so far. I love the shorter trigger lock adjustment. The paddles are shorter too so I won't have to take a grinder to them like the first version.

    This controller is fantastic, you take advantage of trigger stops, paddles and can deviate your opponent’s in any game due to those features quick reloading with out taking your finger off the trigger
