    Great product we love this controller. The last controller lasted us five years and we expect this one to last just as long.

    So far so good the controller feels like a premium accessory, the price tag is high and some people might find the buttons on the back annoying but the beauty of this controller is that you can customize it to your liking and however you feel it the best way to play. The only thing I wish this controller had that is missing is the share button the new one has.

    These are decent controllers, but not worth the money at all. I’ve owned 2 now and both have issues. Buttons getting stuck and even stick drift. I take extremely good care of these and can’t believe they have these issues. I thought maybe I got unlucky on the first one I bought so after a year I bought another one. The new one now has issues and I don’t use either of my elite controllers and wouldn’t buy again.

    Amazing controller great software but will take long time to get used to for your hand from using a normal controller. Also make sure to check all the buttons work and there’s no stick drift these controllers have a bad history of it right out the box.

    Its a great controller, feels good in your hands. Long battery life, a great many accessories. But I don't feel $180 price tag warrants. This should sell for what rival controllers go for or cheaper $125-150. Could use a little more quality components to hit that $180 mark.

    No issues yet, much better construction than the original Elite controller. Paddles are way smaller and help hands rest more naturally on the controller. The tension adjustment is very nice and love the joy stick options. I’m sure just like anything else with a few years of regular use may see some issues, but so far perfect after a month of use.

    Gotta give Microsoft credit cuz they made the Elite controller even better. Solid built but I’m just waiting to see if there will be any stick drift I’m with this in the future. As of this review I’m 2 months in and so far so good. I don’t care for the grips, I’m hoping scuf comes out with their grips for this soon but other than that I think this is a perfect controller.

    This controller is a MUST buy. If you are a FPS gamer this will change your game play. It will take awhile getting used to the paddles but well worth it. I recommend starting of off with one paddle first to train your muscle memory. DO not attempt to use all four to start or it will just mess you up more than it helps when you practice with it

    This one makes you reevaluate how you’ve been playing, you have so much more control in the joysticks and buttons and trigger leveling infreases your action ratio; cery satisfied how customizable is

    This controller is definitely worth it! Most basic controllers last me a few months but this one so far has outlasted and out performed all others. Just buy it you will spend more in the long run replacing the cheap controllers.
