    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    Controller feels to built of decent quality. The only issue that I really have from time to time are the button presses not getting registered. A bit buggy every now and again but still an overall good controller.

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.

    I liked this controller but it eventually got stick drift in less than a year. I think in general this is a huge problem for Xbox controllers. I think every controller I’ve had from Xbox has gotten stick drift whereas PlayStation controllers, I’ve had no problems. I just don’t think it’s worth pay around 100$ for a controller that eventually get stick drift when I could buy a 60$ and save money.
