    I will preface by saying the controller feels great and all and I particularly enjoy the swappable parts, but man. They really need to work on Quality Control. This is my second controller and the right bumper doesn't register half the time. Have to double tap it or hold it even. If you get this, a good idea is to buy the replacement plan; in my experience you're going to need it.

    In my opinion, the best controller out there. A bit expensive, but very sturdy and also has switchable toggle buttons and sticks. Great!

    While the Elite controller is about the cost of 3 normal controllers, you really can't be the build quality on it! Make sure to get the Geeksquad Protection Plan with it.

    Was thinking I was crazy to spend this much money on a controller but it is well worth it. Being able to customize and program buttons is really helpful. The reduced trigger pull is great for FPS games.
