    I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres

    I heard about a lot of QC issues. I have not gotten any yet. A product this expensive should not have that kind of a reputation though . . . There is supposed to be an extended warranty for 1 year offered by microsoft. I honestly don't know how the warranty works, but the device works just fine.

    I love this controller, balanced very well and sits very comfortably in hand! The customization factor is great as well, being able to change how far you have to press the trigger in for activation and changing the thumb sticks to be looser or tighter, I find myself using both underneath buttons and the regular top buttons as well depending on the game but I do tend to use both. Overall great controller!

    Better than the series 1 so far, although I haven't had it long enough to give it a 5 star review. Durability has always been an issue with the elite controllers, but they're like crack for me. I can't game without them anymore. So I need them even if they're overpriced and break. But maybe that's what Microsoft intended?

    By far the best controller I’ve ever used. This thing is built like a tank; I was not expecting it to be so heavy, but I love that about it. The build quality of this is incredible. It feels really solid in your hands. All the buttons can be remapped using the settings on your Xbox. The price tag is pretty daunting, but I paid for the 2 year warranty so it’s the only controller I’ll need for the next few years.
