I am not knocking the controller because I am an ages long PS fanboy. I use this for my gaming PC setup as many steam games tend to be Xbox setup in controller formatting and it is just easier. This is a comfortable unit with a good battery life. No lag in responses... and I love the color. However, I think almost $90 is a high price for a controller... The cost is my only complaint.

So much nicer than stock controller. Custom profiles are a game changer. Takes some getting used to utilizing the paddles but they come in handy in shooters and from software games (dodge roll, jump, heal). All of the materials and options are very nice to have. I recommend buying the service plan as many reports online state the controller can become faulty.

Great sturdy controller that enhances me as a gamer and gives me the necessary edge to keep up with the PC gamers that can move faster than a console player. Love the battery life and features.

I personally love the controller it's heavier than the other one so it feels better in your hands and the overall quality is better and the thumb sticks and pad are detachable if you choose to replace them with different colors you can.

This is a colorful and durable gaming controller. It is very responsive to my pc games. Comfortable in the palm of my hands, and it was simple to get up and running quickly.

Great product . If looking for a better than stock controller this is product to buy. Can also customize button layout for different games.

This is a good premium feeling controller with some good weight to it and the functionality of the adjustments you can make is nice. The only downside is that for this model the paddles in the back and the different sized thumb sticks are not included compared to the higher priced model that come with those accessories. I do love the color options that are available in this version.

Its an expensive controller... I get it.... but if you're reading this, buy it. Especially if its on sale. The grips feel amazing in your hands. Adjustable triggers are awesome. The battery last for hours. The construction is high quality. You can remove the paddles if you don't like them. It works on your PC and your Xbox. When you're done playing, put it back in the case (the charger is in the case).

Love the feel and customizability of this controller. I can’t even pick up the stock controller anymore after having felt the quality of this one. Definitely a little expensive, but I think that overall it’s worth the price

The elite controller is hands down the best one on the market. The feel and the ease of use is key!

I love it!!!! Extremely comfortable in the hands. Yhe buttons are great. Very smooth and the grip is amazing. I also love the fact that I don't have to buy a battery pack for this Controller. Its definitely a must have for a true gamer.

Was hesitant in getting a refurbished controller, but as soon as I began using it all that went away. Clearly another level than the standard controllers, but ultimately price speaks volumes and the base price of this device is understandable and still exceeds tolerance. At half the cost, then absolutely a done deal. Same can be said for a standard controller for that matter. These devices shouldn’t be priced the way they are and neither should anything in the console category as they’ve exponentially climbed towards absurdity. If hardware has outpaced game resource demands, then either we don’t need to refresh systems for another ten years or someone needs to tax the system resources with something amazing, to which they have and it didn’t need teraflops. But I digress…awesome controller and refurb totally worth it.

This is a great idea from Microsoft. Controllers usually last about a year with heavy use, the Xbox elite seem to last longer than that. If yours wears out you can simply buy this swap you thumb sticks and back paddles and save a ton of money doing so. These are great controllers and provide the best bang for your buck, aftermarket scuff parts are also very easy to find. I use this on PC and love it. The only negative is that they do have a bit of stick drift right out of the box, my dead zone had to be set at .08 vs .03 for a brand new scuff, i'm not good enough for that to outweigh $ the savings.

Pros - Great fit and feel. Easy to use. Long lasting charge. Easy to setup. Cons - still not as hardy as it should be - stick drift happens within a year. Buttons break / wear out within a year.

Not only does this contrillee feel freat to use, its very solid and weighted but the ability to customize your experience with included accessories is *chef’s kiss*

Size and grips on the controller feel great. Paal shifters on the bottom perfect placement have been using elite controllers for a few years now one of the best controllers I’ve ever had. I prefer an elite controller over a scuff.

These controllers are the most comfortable options available. The rear buttons are placed perfectly and the battery lasts forever. I've unfortunately had to return/exchange a couple due to stick drift. If they could figure that out, it would be the perfect controller.

this is an amazing controller my only issue is the stick drift. I have bought two of these in a used/ newish condition and both has a left stick drift. there are ways to fix it on your own and if that the case this controller works great

Been using these controllers for years and they never disappoint i can be rough on my controllers sometimes and its held up extremely well form all the drops squeezing and carelessness i have towards it gave me a solid 2 years without needing to get it replaced. (Only replacing because i dropped it down my stair case and the trigger got stuck but after some tinkering its all good now)
