    Incredible controller. This has elevated my gaming experience ten fold. Absolutely no issues which was a concern for me due to the previous model being somewhat underwhelming for the price point. However I can confidently say as an avid gamer (4-8 hour sessions daily) I have ran into no problems at all and will continue using this product.

    I will say I actually got my money's worth. Buying this elite controller has stopped me from buying a new xbox controller every 3 to 4 months. It is kinda sad that a basic xbox controller comes with so many faults that it starts to drift after a while. If you want reliability and durability, save some money and get this one.

    I really like this controller because they fell nice in your hand but the quality is questionable. I bought an open box and everything worked great except for one button that you needed to press hard to register anything. Make sure you test all the buttons if you buy this. Button can be remapped to their rear buttons if you want to do that.

    This controller is made from quality materials, and that is apparent from its weight and durability. I’ve used it a lot, and haven’t had any issues. There are some detachable small pieces so keep your children away.

    Always a great deal with the open box items. Have used this same buy for my last two controllers, easily a year minimum of heavy use, sometimes 2 years

    This is the core model so it does not include the paddles on the back, they will need to be bought seperately. But for what i got it for, it works great and ill pick up the paddles another day.

    Great controller feels much better than the old elite controller and you can charge it inside the case. Its a bit pricey though you do get a slight edge on people with regular controllers. 4 stars only because I feel like its over priced. Watch out for analog drift heard it happens with these controllers.

    Love my controller. Super high quality. The adjustable tension on the sticks is to die for! 10/10 makes gameplay better.

    Definitely packaged awesome! The controller itself is heavier than standard ones which is good. Controller has so many options you can change that it’s slightly overwhelming but once you understand everything it’s one of the best! Love mine!

    Reliable sturdy controller. I have heard complaints about stick drift, but the 2 I have had didn't have any. Also, if you do have stick drift, you can always adjust it in the device settings on the Xbox. I tend to set the paddles to the joystick clicks as it seems more natural to click things this way. I have to admit, it is a luxury item, but if you play a lot, it is worth it.

    Love this controller, use it on the Xbox but now just Use it to play some PC Games with it where it doesn’t make a difference to use keyboard and mouse and or use it as a hybrid setup with keyboard & mouse. Has a high quality feel to it, extra controller functions, no regrets purchasing this controller. We have 2 of these controllers, both work like new even with heavy use,
