    The only thing stopping me giving this a 5/5 is Microsofts poor QC on these controllers. The bumpers or buttons will end up always going out on you. Other than that they're excellent controllers

    These are good for what they are. The controller itself is a bit heavy. The sticks have very bad stick drift after just a few months.

    Bought this as a replacement for my old Elite that went out. Haven't had any troubles out of it outside of a little stick drift, but that's expected.

    Definitely packaged awesome! The controller itself is heavier than standard ones which is good. Controller has so many options you can change that it’s slightly overwhelming but once you understand everything it’s one of the best! Love mine!

    Worth the money—this is my second one in 6 years so even though it is double the price of the regular controller, it lasts way longer

    The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a must if you are a hardcore gamer. I've read some reviews about it having stick drift after a couple of months of use but, I have not experienced anything in my 2 months of owning it. After using this controller it's hard for me to use a regular controller because of the remapping done to the back paddles. Overall though it's worth it if you play a lot of games.

    First, I really like the feel and functionality of this controller. It has great adjustments, but is not durable at all. Ive only used it for a few weeks and it already has stick drift. Quite a letdown.
