    Solid controller

    Is it worth 160 bucks? No. Is it a great controller? Yes. It's actually a really nice controller. The rubberized faceplate is really grippy and comfortable and the interchangeable buttons are nice too. I've only found use for the paddles in racing games for shifting but I'm sure theres other uses for them.

    Great and sturdy, a few things that would need improvements would be a removable joy stick because they seem to loosen pretty bad and the tightening sometimes its either too tight or too loose

    My wife surprised me with this controller, after my Elite Series 2 right bumper took a crap on me. My only complaint is that the A button is a little stubborn. Other then that I really like this controller.

    Love the controller. Love the feel, the customize the joysticks, the the "clickyness" of the paddles and, middle button. What im not a fan of is paying this much for a controller and already having issues. My buddy also experienced the same thing as me when you click the bumpers the controller registers it as you clicking it twice and this is very frustrating. i tried it on a couple separate games to see if it was the game and it was in fact the controller. I even tried testing it while hitting them slowly to make sure i wasn't hitting them twice myself. I am waiting for Best Buy to be in stock again so i can get my exchange and hope i just got a dud. Very unfortunate.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    You have to switch out your paddles to the new controller, but you can't switch out the joysticks from the older elite 1.

    Bought the controller as a refurbished product yet it still seemed brand new when I got it! Controller still has no issues after having it for roughly a year. No stick drift!

    Yes it's expensive for a controller but totally worth it compared to the older elite controller. Build quality is so much better with no glued on grip pieces like the older controller, ability to customize stick tension, and durable materials. After using the elite controllers it's a serious downgrade using regular xbox controllers again.

    Great controller it for daily use for sure. This is my second one I bought since my daughter has spilled fluids and beat it up. But even then the controller lasted for 2 years before I had major issues with it

    Love the design. Ended up buying this one as my original Xbox elite controller was getting old although nothing wrong with it the new controller is great like that the battery is internal however curious on how long the recharge ability will be in the coming years as opposed to swappable batteries

    This is a high quality controller, and it has some great features. I did not remove a star for this, but I do not care for the rubberized grips. They can feel sticky at times, but I'm hoping that the feel may improve with use.
