    Bought this the day in came out in November. RB stopped working in June. My friend's RB also stopped working around that time. Controller was out of stock for a long time until today when I finally got my chance to return it. Does my Geek Squad warranty continue for the entire two years I paid for? NO, it does not. Guess I'll have to purchase a new warranty then...oh, now it's $59.99 instead of $39.99? Wonder why? Maybe because I've had to return 4 or 5 of these "elite" controllers. They're just as fragile as the normal ones this has proven not to be a good investment. Did not purchase warranty this is the last one of these for me.

    Was expecting a lot more. I easily would accidentally click the back tabs and while its pretty grippy the rubber ends up being easily scuffed as well. For the price the controller didn't work enough.

    Great controller with customizable buttons. The additional paddles needed was a bummer but they are not an expensive add on when you compare to the price of a controller with them already

    The controller works great but the quality of materials is pretty bad. After a couple months, the rubber on one of the joysticks completely separated from the joystick and the right bumper doesn't work anymore
