    So far working great no problems. Makes racing and shooting games alot better. Well worth the money. I spend the money on a 3year replacement warranty so no worries if something does happen.

    This is a great controller but the build quality was better on the last gen. Love the extra pre-sets this has and the additional trigger stops.

    I got excited when I saw that I could get an elite controller in a color other than black, but was immediately disappointed when I realized it did not come with paddles. Hello XBox, the entire reason people purchase these is for the paddles. I was fine having to buy a new one every couple of years, but buying an "accessory kit" separate is a joke and really shows that you do not know your customers at all.

    This is how all xbox controllers should be. Short trigger pulls. Extra "flappers" underneath so you don't have to release the thumbsticks to jump/reload. Adjustable tension on the thumbsticks. AWESOME

    A fantastic controller, but has difficulty syncing with the Bluetooth on my computer for some reason. Other than that, absolutely no complaints.

    I had the first version and enjoyed it enough to move to this new version. I find it to be more sturdy and love the built in battery. Being able to use the case as a charge as well is a nice to have.

    I don’t write reviews for anything but I felt the need to write one about this controller. The first one I bought had some weird glue-type stuff on the joystick so i returned it for another one that had a joystick that stuck to the sides right out of the box. Reviews online state that these basically always break within a year and with the cost of this controller being $130, there is just no reason to get this.

    We’ve had to change it every year and buy the insurance bc we know it’s going to break, but other then that it works pretty good. Insurance is to high on it.
