    Excellent controller. Highly recommend. It goes on sale often and is worth the price. This is our second controller. We have had the other one for more than a year with no issues. It is responsive and versatile. The ability to remove the joysticks to clean is helpful, and charging the controller instead of constantly replacing batteries is a huge plus.

    I absolutely love this controller, it elevates my FPS play style to new heights especially with popular titles like Apex Legends. If you play it, you know what im talking about. Im talking near perfect beams, key mechanics easier to execute due to the back pedals (B-Hopping), and ease of customization not only through physical changes, but the plethora of software changes that literally adjust the way you aim and shoot. Im not a pro gamer, by any stretch, but since I've had this controller. I went from 1-2 kill games to 5-10 kill games. Im a warzone player too, beams go both ways my friend. Sony what are yall doing? Where are yall native pro controllers?

    I had the original MS elite controller and THIS is how it should have been. My old one’s grips were coming off, the stick drift was crap, and the bumpers broke twice....so far this one seems a bit sturdier and the grips seem more integrated...we’ll see if it sustains

    It’s a great controller. Takes some getting use too. The only advantage is that it feels more premium and you get the extra buttons. I returned it and just got a regular controller.

    I have purchased this controller twice since it was released. The accessories that come with the controller are easy to interchange and store when not utilized. I have used the paddles just about every way you can have them, but I only keep two of the paddles connected instead of all four. I would not purchase this product without adding the BestBuy protection plan.

    This controller is worth every dollar. It feels premium, the buttons are premium, highly customizable, additional buttons, and icing on the cake is that it comes with a rechargeable battery and charging stand built in.

    One of the best controllers I've ever used. Got a little over 20 months, and over 1000 hours worth of intense gaming before signs of stick drift. nice and hefty and feels like its a controller worth almost $200. The features like back paddles and trigger stops are a God-send, and are great for competitive and casual gaming. Worth its weight and if you play everyday or just a weekend gamer its worth it if you give it some love.

    Worth the upgrade

    I decided to upgrade my normal XBox controller to this, and it was definitely worth the money. First, it has a jack for any headset rather than just the funky XBox headset. Having the paddles on the back is still taking some getting used to, but it helps you keep both thumbs on the joysticks. Adjusting the trigger pull is something I never thought about, but it has improved my gameplay. Overall, it is much more expensive, but a major upgrade from the original XBox controller. The only downside is the lack of customization. Fortunately there are some wraps and cases you can get aftermarket to truly make this controller your own.

    The only problem with this elite controller is that they seem to still have not done anything about the subpar left and right bumpers. They are just cheap plastic. Everything else is great quality, serious improvement over the first series. Feels better all around.
