    Had the controller for 6 months, worked great, then R1 stopped being responsive. Now it takes a huge amount of force for it to register. Overall, the gamepad is ok, but besides the materials i think a regular series controller is better than this.

    If you aren’t rocking an elite Xbox controller; you’re not reaching your full capacity as a gamer. This enhances every aspect of how you game. Just accept it and buy it

    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    Generally I like it but I found the adjustable trigger on the two shorter settings can sometimes be unreliable. I've had many times I pulled the zoom trigger in Call of Duty and it started to zoom then didnt, leading to lost kills. Not sure if thats a general problem or just my unit. I got this on a good sale, otherwise its too expensive.

    Better then using a regular controller. The Elite controller is an amazing controller in my book. Playing call of duty for amount of years and playing this game....most of my controllers are wear and tear. But the Elite is holding strong. An I mean strong. You can feel the difference. Buy an Elite controller...it will change the game play.

    This is a great controller! Obviously, the high price makes it worthwhile only if you are a lifelong gamer but, “ You get what you pay for” This controller has a heavier feel, there are apps to control fine adjustments and everything works that much better. Make sure to purchase the protection plan because even though this is a high quality controller, things break and this will also. One difference between this and the series 1 controller is that this one has a rechargeable battery built in, I don’t know about the battery life so far but this could be a good or bad thing. We shall see. This is a great controller nonetheless
