    I've had the elite before and other third party makes and to be honest, I keep coming back to the basic model. It's reliable, less prone to breaking, and inexpensive by comparison. No complaints.

    Kids are hard on controllers! I always trust Best Buy and their warranty. Certain products you just need to get the warranty. This is one of those items. We have used it several times.

    Works as it should and is compatible with the ‘older’ style rechargeable battery packs, as opposed to newer ones only able to use recharging cable.

    Perfect for our youngest son. Every other store was out by the time our Christmas shopping procrastination came through. So glad Best Buy still had a good amount in stock!

    There's really no difference between this controller and the original Xbox One controller other than the colors are different as it is a special edition. The controller works great and the response is solid.

    Very aesthetically pleasing and works fine. Overpriced, but like that’s just what happens when you buy a new controller. If you have a problem with price you need to @ Microsoft.

    My son has had no issues with the controller. The buttons all function properly and feel nice. The controller has a slightly clear view allowing you to see the gadgets inside, which is pretty cool.

    Xbox continues to set the standard when it comes to everything....including controllers....which you wouldn’t expect to be that important, but that’s why it’s so wonderful....because it’s so seemless.

    My son loves this controller. I had just bought him a headset that was red and this one matched with it so he's always walking around with it. Price is as normal but a good investment

    Bought this to use on pc, includes Bluetooth and works good when plugged in also. Grips feel amazing vs the normal plastic on other Xbox controllers, would but another if mine ever goes out.
