    While the standard xbox controller is more than serviceable, having a heftier, customizable option will always win out in my opinion. This controller is awesome.

    I got stick drift on my right stick after 4 days i went back to use my warranty theg said its a one time use and if the next controller messes up i have to buy another warranty i told the manger well what if it breaks out the box he left me with a i dont know . I know he doesnt make the rules but bestbuy as s conpany shouldn’t let that happen where a warranty is a one time use and microsoft needs to rlly upgrade there tech because stick drift put the box charging 179 or copy PlayStation with the sticks when it works its the best controller when it doesnt its like a raging headache

    Was a gift for my 18 year old nephew. He was so excited about how many custom options he had available. As he put it it's like going from a Prius to a Corvette as far as performance.

    This is the 2nd Elite controller I got within 6 months and the joysticks are sticking again to the point you can't play. For the price, this is a complete joke. It's not a BestBuy issue, but a manufacturing issue. I don't like that I had to pay for a warranty twice ($120) to make sure I can replace again. At this point, I don't want another controller, I just want my money back. Not worth it, look at something else.
