    If you need a replacement for a current elite controller it's a no brainer.

    I have the controller before this and i bought this one and it is even better than the first one. Faster reaction time. You can set it up the way you want it.

    The controller is great until the buttons start to no work. The RB and LB button go out about 6 months of use. I normally play an hour or two everyday. So maybe 20-25 hours a week. Would recommend only if you purchase a protection plan.

    Kind of Dated, But Still the Best

    A little on the pricey side, especially for how old this model is, but on sale it is definitely still one of the best Xbox/PC controllers you can get. Lots of customization options, and the included charging stand is a nice added bonus. I've tried other controllers, but this one is hands down my favorite.

    Made sense if I was a competitive gamer. It’s hard to reason keeping this for the casual user. The thumb sticks and paddles though….

    I recently switched over to Xbox and this is by far the best gaming controller I've ever used. It's hard for me to play with any other controller once I used this. Completely worth the money!

    Very solid and premium feel. With the long battery and solid build quality I could not find any faults. Probably hard to justify the price but as far as controllers go I am not sure there is any better out there currently.

    Almost Perfect

    While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.
