    Yes there are cheaper alternatives for the elite controller, but the quality of the build and how easy it is to use is perfect for someone who wants the buttons and not want to rage brake a controller.

    Luxury, Not Value

    Not a great value proposition for the casual gamer but if you're into it you'll ignore logic and buy this. The paddles on the underside take some getting used to and may actually be an annoyance to those used to the regular style controller. Good build quality. D-pad is an upgrade. Does the cool outweigh the price? Your call!

    The case acts as a charging cradle. The buttons are interchangeable and the sentisitivy is adjustable with a tiny hex bit included in the kit. If you are a first person shooter fan, this is your best option.

    Best buy is fine but I have to buy the same controller every year or so because microsoft doesnt know how to make buttons I guess since they are ALWAYS failing. I have had over 600$ in controllers since I bought my xbox back in 2020/

    I only use one of the paddles but i like all the extra customization options. Definitely only buying one to use. I like it comes with a very ling maybe 2 meter charging cable that i can utilize for other things as well. The cable is also covered in some mesh not some cheap chargibg cable.
