    I think it is a big step up from the last Elite controller. Fit and feel is great and so is the responsiveness of it. I wish the price was a bit less though...

    I will only buy my controllers from Best Buy utilizing the Geek Squad 2-year warranty, because they will not last that long anyways. This is my third Elite Controller. The others failed due to irreversible stick-drift. For such an uber expensive item, I wish they would address critical failures like stick-drift and button sticking. If not for that, I’d give it 5 stars.

    Great improvement on the last gen! The grips are much more durable and the controller looks great. However, already having to hard press the RB to work, after only a year of use. When customers spend that kind of coin, we want everything to work for more than a year.
