    I've never paid more than the "normal" price for a controller so I don't have much experience with high end controllers, but I absolutely love this controller. It has a really nice weight and feels sturdy. Haven't had issues yet. But I got the protection plan because I heard there are a few issues

    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.

    We got this controller for our son who is an avid Xbox player and gamer and he loves it. It has many functions beyond the standard controller, it's heavy duty and solid and it's working exactly as he hoped it would. We've only had the controller for about 2 weeks but we're hoping it lasts for a long time.

    You have to switch out your paddles to the new controller, but you can't switch out the joysticks from the older elite 1.

    I know the price seems high for a controller, but I swear by this controller. The weight feels nice, the build quality feels great and I’ve had to stick drift or button issues. Love it

    Amazing upgrade from the original Xbox controller. I love it! The paddles keep my thumbs on the sticks where they belong! The ability to adjust the trigger is amazing! Love the fact I can plug it into my PC and game with it on there too!

    Really nice to use, even without the additional back paddles. Only real flaw is there isn't a dedicated capture button. Would recommend if you can get it $30+ off.

    Great controller, but this is my 2nd one in just over a year. The buttons seem to get stick drift after a while and this is only worth it with the protection plan since it would be fully covered if anything were wrong with it.
