    This controller is great when it works. But don't think that the $200 price tag means that the components used are of superior reliability. The thumbstick on this controller broke just 13 months after purchase, which was one month outside of warranty. Microsoft charges $100 for you to get it fixed (replaced), with an 11-14 business day turnaround time, unless you want to spend another $10 and may get it sooner (I've tried this before and they didn't do it any faster than standard). It's junk. Don't waste your money unless you want to dump money into it every year when it breaks.

    My son's 3rd "Elite" controller. The other two stopped working making the $60 protection plan not only necessary but also basically part of the "cost" of the controller. Hopefully, the 3rd time's the charm!?!

    Looks slick, feels comfortable and is really good..until the triggers stop functioning properly so make sure to get the extended warranty if you play a lot of shooters.

    I play games for a while, and when I first bought this I didn't use it I played keyboard and mouse, after a little while I wanted to try it out and after a month (if that) the bumpers tend to click more than it should. I'll click the bumper once to switch to a different weapon and it switches like 3 times. I dealt with this for a while, it gets me killed constantly, and as time goes on it gets worse but still dealt with it. But now, the right trigger is falling apart too now. I use trigger stops at the maximum level and both the triggers were perfectly fine, then all the sudden it felt like the right trigger's stopper started to break because it would weird sound and it wouldn't stop like the left one even though they were at the same level it felt like the right trigger stopper was in the middle and the left one was maximum but they weren't... Once again, I dealt with this for a while and moved on until it had another dang problem... THE TRIGGER STOP SWITCH POPS OFF THE LEFT ONE.... like how can a controller break this easily... I legitimately babied this controller and its just falling apart in all aspects, would love a refund but unfortunately that can't happen. Learned my lesson to get at least 1 year warranties :/
