    I loved my original Elite controller, but this is definitely a step up in quality and performance. The grips are more comfortable and the built in rechargeable battery with magnetic stand is handy. I don’t honestly use the underside for macro button commands, but I just prefer the analog sticks on here better along with the overall construction.

    It was good for a little while, until I started to get major stick drift in both the thumbsticks. However, it was covered by Microsoft's warranty and I was able to send it in and they sent be back a brand new one, and no problems since!

    I have had other competitive controllers before like SCUF, but this is my favorite. Easy to setup controller mapping and just feels great. Love the layout of the paddles easy to press and takeoff. I haven't had it for too long, but so far I can't use any other controller besides this. Especially when I'm playing shooters just changes everything.

    I really like this controller. It feels very premium, and it has helped me with my gameplay due to the paddles. They were a little tough to get used to at first since you have to grip the controller slightly less firm, but once you get used to it, it feels very natural. The thumbsticks are also very smooth and precise.

    One of the best controllers I have ever used. The 4 paddle option makes it so easy to customize movements and re-mapping everything to my way of playing the game.

    It’s good but the case that microwave gives you pushes on the sticks a bit much for me to be fully happy with the full kit. Other wise it has great battery life and the charging stand is nice to have out the box.

    Fresh out of the box, it's an absolute beast, but tends to show its age after a year. If you're purchasing this, do yourself a favor a get the 2yr warranty as it's notorious for stick drift after continuous use.

    Great so far! Had a modded controller before this one and the buttons started sticking. I’m not a fan of the big paddles on the rear of the controllers so this worked out great. I love the feel of the rubber on the controller.

    Really love not having to replace/recharge batteries. Love the feel. Can't get use to the paddles, had to remove them. Haven't gotten around to tweaking the settings nor controls. Don't really know if it was worth the $180.00, but it is better than the standard controller.
