    For the amount of options and things you can do with this controller, I personally enjoy it compared to the typical regular Xbox controller a person can get. Me personally however, I waited for when there was a sale going on for Best Buy, or if there was an open box version available

    This is an amazing controller. All the buttons and triggers and extremely responsive and it feels just right in your hands. It is slightly heavier than your regular controller but not too heavy that it becomes uncomfortable to use. The customization options are excellent but I personally don't need them. Perhaps if you game professionally it might be of use. You can also remove the buttons at the back, which I did since they are not needed for my casual gaming. All in all, awesome controller.

    Outside of the known issues with stick drift, I exclusively play Xbox daily utilizing my elite controller. The trigger settings and ability to swap out my sticks for different play styles definitely improved my game play. Heck I bought a second one for my pc

    This controller is everything you want in 2020. The only thing I will say is get the insurance. I'm very gentle with all my devices (especially controllers- considering how fragile they tend to be). Alot of my friends have been experiencing knob drifting, and other little things malfunctioning.... Long story short, excellent controller, but that insurance will SAVE YOUR POCKETS in the long run. *My left stick is starting to feel a little lose after about a month or so of having it.
