    This controller won’t make you invincible on any game, and it is definitely priced that it’s a difficult to justify margin compared to a standard Xbox remote, but if you do make the leap, the controller experience offers a well rounded assortment of adjustments that make game play better and smoother. Some of the less known adjustments are the resistance to both joy sticks with three settings, and button mapping is set on the Xbox, not a computer as I originally feared. My favorite feature is the three trigger pull length settings for the left and right trigger, which adjusts quickly for various game types.

    The right bumper broke on the first one I bought, exchanged it for a new one and my second one has a broken bumper too. I live alone, if the controller isn’t in my hand it’s on the stand. I bought a 2 or 3 year warranty, so I will be exchanging this one as well. But it’s pretty crazy how bad these things are. The controller that came with my Xbox has easily seen more use than either of these and it still works fine, but for some reason the official Xbox Elite Controller bumper doesn’t hold up.

    The piece was in very good condition with all original parts. Works perfectly and overall a very fun addition to my gaming setup. Would recommended for slightly competitive casual players specially for games that require multiple binds or could use multiple binds.
