Don't bother
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Trash, run away. For one it's far too heavy. But I'd forgive that if it wasn't complete garbage. I had to return the first one immediately after opening it (the "A" button didn't work). The replacement had a"barely functional" A button that only activated if you pressed it exceedingly hard. At first I was going to try to just use the paddles underneath and basically not need to ever press the A button. But no I'm not going to spend this much on a broken controller so I took the next one back also

Not good quality
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible. Everything will eventually break on this controller. They have a manufacturing warranty for this controller for a reason.

Geek Squad Protection is a not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only rating 1 star because of the proteion plan they offer on this product. Product is great, very good improvement over the 1st generation elite controller. Getting the protection plan on this product is not worth it. Best buy use to have a store in my area and they closed it. I started experiencing controller drift. I called the 1-800-geeksquad and got transferred multiple times just to be told I have to drive 3 hours to use the protection plan.

Left stick broke after 13 months.

WRONG MODEL DO NOT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT BUY! They are advertising the FST-00008 model but what you actually get is the FST-00001 model which is riddled with bugs and issues. Get it from Microsoft directly and BUY the EXTENDED WARRENTY.

Useful for about a year.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent up until the thumb sticks seize. Coupled with controller drift, I’d recommend buying two normal controllers over one of these.
