    I was not expecting to love this controller as much as I do. My experience with different games and how you can have 3 different types of settings for different games is awesome. You can also have the light different color.

    Best controller I've ever felt.....after you have it in your hands you won't want to touch the regular one ever ever again...... Only flaw is a faint weird sound from the top of the controller when it vibrates... I usually play when everyone else is asleep so with the sound down all the way and nothing going on and you can hear a ping ping you it rumbles........ Trust me you probably wouldn't notice it.....9.75

    This controller is fantastic the ability to adjust tension helps tremendously in FPS games. The ability to toggle if you want to use the paddles is helpful for watching Netflix. Compared to the first model the paddles are significantly smaller. The smaller size helps with hand fatigue imo. Definitely would recommend this product, but maybe consider the warranty due to the issue of quality control, and potential stick drift.

    Always been an easy plug and play, I love the help that Best Buy employees told me. They said it does no come with the back keys and asked if I had them and was aware.

    I love using the controller. The back paddles are a necessity... They should come standard on all controllers to be honest.... But the the elite isn't built to last ,,this is my 3rd series 2 elite...( Went through 5 of the first gen. ones) The sticks will start to drift and then eventually stop working completely... Definitely buy the extended warranty.
