    I've owned this controller for 6 months and my biggest concern was the quality, I'm glad to report I have not had any issues with this controller and I use it on both my Xbox and a gaming PC.

    Terrible Quality Control

    I don’t write reviews for anything but I felt the need to write one about this controller. The first one I bought had some weird glue-type stuff on the joystick so i returned it for another one that had a joystick that stuck to the sides right out of the box. Reviews online state that these basically always break within a year and with the cost of this controller being $130, there is just no reason to get this.

    Some units come broken, but at the store and check all the joysticks and triggers etc before you take it home. Great otherwise.

    Buy it with a warranty. Go read the reddit thread. The controller feels great in the hand and the paddles are wonderful. The stick drift and other issues... I have (2) elites and one is with Microsoft for repairs and this one from Best Buy is getting exchanged as the right stick started having major drift issues tonight.

    If you’re serious about gaming.. this is it.. just make sure you purchase the warranty plan at bb. These fail sometimes within 2 years.. the warranty will take care of it for you!

    Wish I would have spent the money sooner. Buttons underneath are placed great and no battery pack underneath means no random disconnects.
