He has wanted to up grade his controller for months, so it became a Xmas gift. According to him, his game skills have improved with this quality controller. Shopped around several places, prices were all comparable to each other, but availability and delivery time was best at Best Buy.

Glad to have a Elite again
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Owned the first elite for almost 3 years before the LB button finally gave out, decided to upgrade to the elite 2. So far it feels like a durable controller but I also bought the extended warranty in case I have any issues with it down the road like the original elite.
I would recommend this to a friend (MAKE SURE TO WARRANTY WITH BESTBBUY)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. Make sure to get the 2 yr warranty with Best Buy though they’re notorious for wearing out but Best Buy’s policy is great cause you can renew your warranty with the replacements. I bought one when they first released and have probably been through 5 of them now because of how good their replacement policy is
I would recommend this to a friendExtremely comfortable.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great controller. I've been using it during long hours of gameplay and I don't find my hands getting fatigued. The buttons/paddles on the back are extremely useful and I find improve skill and performance. I would recommend this controller to anyone interested in competitive gaming and who wants comfort while gaming.

NICE CONTROLLER... BUT...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good Controllers if they didnt break every 4 months from competitive gaming (Bumpers or thumbsticks go out) I give them 5 stars

Great, buuuuuuuut
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellet, but it disconnects randomly mid match a lot. Best Buy exchange is only 15 days for controllers. For a $200 controller, this is absurd. I could understand if it were a base controller, but come on. Having to make the claim with Microsoft :/ I never had this problem with the first series.

Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for the gaming son, he loves it. Holding it compared with regular controller, there is a noticeable upgrade in quality and feel of the materials. He also loves the ability to customize the travel of the back trigger/paddle buttons so you don't have to push it down as far. Feels like a lot for a controller, but it is a nice one.

This controlller is the best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best xbox controller you can customized everything and got a great deal. Bought a second one at this price my white one us over a year and still working fine
I would recommend this to a friend Good build quality
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good option if you want a premium feeling controller
I would recommend this to a friendGreat controller
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The paddles on the back change your game. You can play much faster with the paddles because you dont have to take your thumbs off the joysticks. The trigger locks, thumbstick tension, and thumbstick deadzone adjustments are great. Id highly recommend this to anyone who games on Xbox a lot and is trying to break their skill plateau.

Best controller ever!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its amazing to the touch and far more reliable than the standard controller. You can just tell the difference in quality between the standard controller and the elite controller.

Improved quality and capability
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my adult son who always bought his own equipment since he was in High School and was proud of it. I repaid his hard work and dedication to his college studies with this top of the line controller. He is extremely happy with it.
I would recommend this to a friend Good for sweaties
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's comfortable. I don't use the paddles it's hard as I have long fingers. I really liked how you can tighten the joysticks. Only thing I really hate about this controller is the triggers. They are a weird feeling plastic and when they have sweat on them its slippery

Best controller on the market
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly the greatest controller ever designed. Weighs 2 to 3 times more than the other controller but when it comes to things I handle yhey have to survive usage. This controller is durable, effective, has trigger locks and multiple button presses
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Battery life
Worth the money twice.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I probably used my elite 1 everyday 3-4 hours. 2+ years without a problem. So far 1 month in, it feels like the 2 is the same type of quality controller with some better features. Like thumb stick tension control and a built in battery that with my daily use last well over a week. So far so good worth the money if I go 2-3 years again.
