    Much better hand feel than the standard controller. Easily customized with provided additional knobs. Still trying to get used to the paddles on back, as standard controllers do not include them.

    I've had issues ever since I purchased. Curse seems to want to slowly drift across the screen. Bluetooth constantly disconnects so the only way I can use it is keeping it plugged in. Pretty much a waste

    A bit high in the price for a xbox controller, my last elite controller lasted about 2 years, which isnt great for the price. Hopefully this controller lasts longer.

    The feeling of this controller is amazing!!! I got it for my husband and he can not keep it out his hands. But, when I get a hold of it, I do enjoy playing game for a bit longer than usually, thanks to this controller.

    Works good, I like all the features and abilities with it but they could work on the quality a little bit more, seems like the buttons aren’t as responsive as they should.

    Haven’t heard complains from my 13 yr old son but only positive comments. I must say, though, it was pretty expensive which pushes me forward to have my son work from now on if he wants to get such things (not a bad idea now).

    So far a great buy. Only difference between this and regular elite is it doesn’t include paddles but I’m not a fan of so it’s okay, plus you can buy separately.
