    Bought one around christmas time left thumbstick became non responsive mid january sent it to microsoft they sent me a new one 2 months after receiving the new one left thumbstick went out again. Never ever have I had such a weak controller. Other than that the controller is amazing I wish I could have kept it unfortunately it's not worth constantly returning and buying 50$ warranties every time it breaks. Microsoft really needs to just scrap this model and revise it. The main thing they need to focus on is making the tumbstick mechanisms more durable. It really saddens me that I wasn't able to keep this controller. It was hard going back to a standard controller without paddles.

    Definitely a good upgrade and worth the price. It's nice having the ability to adjust how stiff you want the toggles as well as the triggers travel distance. With it also being able to switch between different toggles and d-pads, makes it worth every penny

    I have owned two Elite 2 controllers in the past so buying this was a no-brainer. Love the red and black color scheme. It is definitely a great choice for anyone who is just looking for a replacement controller without paying full price for all the extra accessories
