    Great controller and i hate the controler that comes with the Xbox because it uses batteries. This feels more premium than the original too. I use the back pads for fps games but even if you dont use them its worth it.

    I got this for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day and he loves it. He said it’s very good quality but it has a slight learning curve but a great controller.

    Love this controller. Very comfortable for multi hour long sessions. I use this on my desktop gaming rig after adding a small bluetooth receiver. Highly customizable, but after picking the stick options I wanted I haven't really switched them out. Nice that it is rechargeable too. Would buy this again.

    This is a good controller. The customizable things you can do to your button mapping is insanely good for when I want to switch up my settings for the distant toes of competitive games I play.

    Great controller love the weight. Only thing I don’t like is that sometimes while gaming the sticks will start to unscrew mid gaming. Make sure you keep tight with the tool.

    Once you start using the Elite controller, the original xbox controllers start to feel like toys. I like that you can lock the triggers to different lengths depending on the game that you are playing. Very nice controller and nice color.

    Disappointing Controller

    I recently purchased a new controller from Best Buy hoping to resolve the stick drift issues I had with my previous controller. However, my experience with the new controller right out of the box has been quite disappointing. Upon opening the box and plugging in the controller, I immediately noticed a significant stick drift problem. The analog stick would constantly move downwards and to the left, even when I wasn't touching it. This stick drift was so severe that it caused my screen to continuously scroll in those directions without any input from me. Considering the issues I had with my previous controller, I expected the replacement to work flawlessly. Unfortunately, the stick drift on this new controller was even worse than before, making it virtually unusable for gaming. As a customer, it is disheartening to encounter such a fundamental flaw in a brand new product. I believe it reflects poorly on the quality control and assurance measures of the store and the manufacturer. I would urge Best Buy to take note of these issues and ensure that the controllers they sell are thoroughly tested and free from defects before they reach the customers. I hope that this feedback helps them improve their product offerings and provide a better experience for future customers. Overall, my experience with the new controller purchased from Best Buy was highly unsatisfactory due to the persistent stick drift issues. I would recommend potential buyers to exercise caution and thoroughly test the controller before making a purchase to avoid similar disappointments.
