    One of the best controllers out there. I use this to game on PC and console and it works very well. The buttons are sleek and they dont get stuck like some cheaper controllers I have bought. Would definitely purchase again.

    Great FPS purchase, but the paddles on the back are worth it. The linger sticks youd want to use for precision aim. Be wary of your LB and RB, most elite controllers' bumpers can be built a little weak

    Good quality control, doesn’t come with back paddles, no big deal here but if looking for a true elite control not this in.

    Expensive. And was hesitant to purchase but after opening you can see where it pays off. Once you configure it you will never use a regular Xbox controller again. Took some time to setup and adjust and map the buttons but when you do it’s a natural reflex.

    Huge improvement from the first series. Worth just under $100. Should probably be a but cheaper since no paddles are included.

    Not sure why but every “A” button on these controllers stick. Overall it’s very quality, but the “A” button is annoying. Had mine for some time and it gets a lot of use, but it still continues to stick every so often.

    Rated 5 stars even though personally I didn’t like it. Great quality product, I really liked how you could adjust the triggers to 3 different setting. I bought because I thought I’d like the extra 4 programmable buttons on the back of the controller (that way you don’t have to take your thumbs off the joysticks to use certain buttons. For me it was just too much to get used to, playing Xbox for 15 years without extra buttons, then trying to get used to them was tricky for me.

    Love this new controller. Much more responsive. A little bit heavier than the normal one that comes with the Xbox, but feels to be much better quality.

    First controller I bought was a defect. Went to return it and had to spend 20 minutes listening to the try to sell me a ridiculous priced plan for protection which I kept informing I did not want but still continued to pressure me. I ended up getting basic two year plan so I could get back to my day. Don’t pressure people to buy things they do not want. I understand upsell but the situation was ridiculous.

    I got this to replace my 2 year old elite series 2 which was starting to feel worn out. I just took the old paddles and put them on the new one. The black and white storm trooper look is nice.
