    Haven’t had it for long but works great. If you want a scuff type controller that works perfect and is programmable on the Xbox through the settings page. Highly recommended. But definitely get the geek squad warranty as other people have said it can break and Microsoft doesn’t corporate well with the 1 year warranty it comes with through them.

    When I ordered this, I knew it was an open-box, in great condition. That was true. It didnt come with the original box, but every item was accounted for.

    Its a good controller. I've had an elite series 1 in the past that worked well for 2 years till the grips fell off then an elite 2 controller that had issues after a year with the trigger but replacements were easy and this is by far the best controller out there

    Plain and simple. Solid, grippy, has a weight, travel case, wireless charge, bye bye battery pack, changeable thumbstick, D-Pad, along with the paddles on the back, adjustable trigger stoppers, USB-C, and custom profiles designed to your own likings. Overall it's a great pickup for your setup or just a controller to experience a different way in gaming era

    Vibration stopped working after 2 weeks. It really is a bummer. The grip is also loose/coming off towards the triggers on top. Best Buy says these controllers were inspected and refurbished and certified as working but they don’t work as well as they claim. I got two of these and both have some stick drift and pretty noticeable physical damage, not to mention the vibration problem. Overall pretty disappointed.

    I absolutely love this controller until I was playing one of my games and I was turning right with the analog stick and as I was holding the analog stick right No other buttons worked so there might be a short :(
