    I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

    Controller is great. Quality feels good. But man you just have to roll the dice. Some of these are flawless and will last for years, but my first one wouldnt even turn on. Thank gosh for best buy return policies!!

    i really enjoy this controller because of the extra buttons and the ability to change out parts. but what i dont like or understand is why they would sell this without the dongle to be able to use it bluetooth on your pc? so if you purchase this for your pc make sure you purchase the xbox dongle as well or you have to use it plugged in and not wireless.

    My son uses this for xbox and pc. It works great and he loves it. The paddles add extra customizable features that only this controller offers. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

    Don’t expect this controller to make you the best player but it does give you the tools to get better. The build quality is what really sets this apart from the regular controller. Plenty of customizations options, battery life/charging stand eliminates the struggles of finding a battery pack with a charge, the controller looks great. Overall great upgrade

    For the price its amazing. Especially if you already have spare paddles and joysticks highly recommend this over the 200+ elite controller. Also, in more colors than black? Say less!!!

    definitely worth it. this remote is so customizable. from the joysticks to the d pad and even the triggers. not to mention the different profiles that you can mess with on the xbox to assign the buttons to whatever you want, plus xbox has already announced that it will be compatible with the next gen console, so you're all good there too. Must have!!!

    I really like this controller. It feels very premium, and it has helped me with my gameplay due to the paddles. They were a little tough to get used to at first since you have to grip the controller slightly less firm, but once you get used to it, it feels very natural. The thumbsticks are also very smooth and precise.
