    These are good for what they are. The controller itself is a bit heavy. The sticks have very bad stick drift after just a few months.

    A little heavy but the buttons give me zero issues. No stick drift after a year and I usually destroy my controllers after a couple months

    No issues so far a lot of the problems I see with people online is that they manhandle there controllers. If you spend 170 for a controller treat it like a Baby

    Just a basic elite controller

    Bought as a spare for my 3 year old Elite controller, just a basic elite controller with no accessories, do not recommend buying if you don't have an elite controller with all the accesories already. I'm taking off a star because it doesn't come with a replacement tall stick which I feel could have been included at the very least since it is a main wear item. It does come with 2 short thumbsticks though.

    I’m actually rather impressed with the build quality of this controller. I bought it because I keep having a problem with my triggers getting stuck on all my other controllers, and so far I haven’t had any problems. We’ll see if it keeps up, but so far it’s been great! Only reason it’s 4/5 is the price. Quite expensive unless you buy open box like I did.

    Its the best controller ive ever had, however the price is very steep. Ive had some really amazing controllers just below this one in my rankings, and the prices were very different. I wish it were just a bit Cheaper.

    Nice controller. A little pricey for a controller that lasts on average a year for me and my family. Not that it is bad, just for me paying that much every year kind of sucks.

    Great controller, much better than the one that came with the Xbox. One thing to notice is that at first it was behaving weirdly with my MacBook and when I connected it to the Xbox it updated and solve the MacBook issues.

    I've gotten many different types of controller brands. Gotta say that this was on my #1 spot on my list immediately. Just needs a little more customization when it comes to button binding.
