    Love how customizable it is. Paddles help a lot. Obviously expensive but if you have the money it's worth it

    I've bought probably 6 of these things over the years. Some came immediately with stick drift that no amount of deadzone tweaking could fix or adjustment of the tension. If I didnt have the best buy total member subscription, i would have bought a scuff. Yet spending $50 every year or so to replace it has been working.

    Amazing controller, it may be overpriced but it's amazing for competitive gaming. I got lucky because I bought it as Open Box, but it works perfect. Tip: if you get one open box try it with the Xbox Accessory app and see if there is any issue with it, if there is return it ASAP, if not enjoy cause it's amazing!

    The controller is awesome! I love the ease of swapping joysticks, and the use of paddles. The adjustment of the trigger pull is so cool and the hair trigger click adjustment makes my shooting accuracy much better. Don’t forget, you can adjust the tension of the sticks which is surprisingly useful.

    the controller doesn’t come with the paddles or all the other fancy things the full elite controller kit comes with. But regardless, the controller is still and upgrade over the standard Xbox gamepad. With its insanely good battery life (I charge mine maybe once a month) and the ability to adjust the stick tensions, I think this is worth it for every Xbox user
