    Best controller I have owned so far. Stick drift did occur, but I am tough on the left joystick. It’s currently being replaced via warranty and lasted longer than most others have. I also like the removable paddles on the back as opposed to ones that are built in. Some games not all 4 are needed and the others tend to get in the way.

    I’ve always used the controllers that come with the Xbox system, but then I bought the elite. GET YOU ONE! The mapping, feel, and tweaks you can do with this controller is far beyond my expectations. Worth the money.

    The Elite controllers are heavier than the standard Xbox One controllers and feel much better. I originally had the 1st version, but after about 2 yrs the menu button started sticking and I did a warranty exchange. The new version has a better texture and the paddle sticks are better also. I've used it on my Xbox One X and PC, works great, but for PC need the wireless dongle to use.

    The controller has been working great it exactly what I wanted, I’ve been using it for 3 weeks so far and playing with it has been fun. I would recommend if you want an elite controller without the other accessories.

    I ordered an XBox Elite controller online for a Christmas gift and it was ready to pick up less then 2 hours later at my local Best Buy store. Once i went into the store. I was waited on immediately, got the controller within 2 mins. No hassel or anything. Great overall experience and I will continue to order my electronics from Besy But. Excellent self help and customer service. An this is not the dirst time.

    Ever since being able to afford one, I have always used these. The reason for the four-star is that I know in six-seven months I will need top use the warranty support for stick drift or a broken bumper. The reason why not three or lower, I have total rewards and BestBuy is good with replacement controllers.

    I know there have been a lot of backlash on this controller, and I can't comment on durability. I have enjoyed it a lot, and having extra paddles helps with playing games, so you can keep fingers on thimbsticks. Adding the 2 year protection plan from Best Buy also makes my mind at ease with durability. I would only buy it at best buy.

    The only think i have an issue with is that the RB and LB buttons seem to always have some issue. So I would recommend protection.

    Leaps and bounds better than the 1st Gen. I was hesitant about getting it because of the bad drift I experienced on the 1st Gen version (on two separate controllers, too) but I am glad I did. Crisp performance and connects seamlessly with my Xbox.

    Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price
