    The purchase was listed as open box excellent condition. A thumb stick and the cable were missing. I also had to replace a few internal components of the controller to get the controller in working condition. It appeared to have been heavily used. Other than that, these controllers are amazing.

    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.
