    Its kinda a pile of crap but works better then any scuff controller on the market. The bumpers will stop working after a year. This is a known issue. Some people with new controllers have had issues with the A button sticking. If you want a scuff type controller this is the one to get. But beware and get the geek squad warranty. It will eventually break

    GREAT when it works properly! Unfortunately I’ve only had the controller less than 6 months and the Right Bumper and “A” Button are almost unresponsive. As well as developing stick drift in the left Analog Stick already. Warranty is absolutely necessary for any Elite controller.

    As a semi-casual gamer with a taste for the finer things, when the original Elite controllers dropped I purchased a pair to use daily. While the value provided was exceptional, there were a myriad of growing pains to address as Microsoft went premium. After nearly 5 years of use, and several warranty events, it was time to let them go. I'm glad to say, Microsoft's followup appears to have addressed long-term concerns surrounding the joysticks and grips breaking down. Now if only they hadn't sealed the battery inside!
