    When buying these controllers take out the warrenty as you will need it. Left and right bumpers go out as my previous ones did. With that being said stick tension adjustment and paddels make a huge difference in game play and the controller feels great ergonomicly. Love my Elite controller just wish there was better life to bumpers.

    Works great when it doesn’t break. Really like the built in battery. Feels good during long play sessions and the finger paddles on the back are programmable and are excellent in games such as PubG. I use the paddles set for consumable items which makes healing and buffing on the fly simple between shootouts. Have to give it a negative review due to the fact I’ve had to warranty replace it once after only a couple months of use and the buttons and thumb sticks went bad faster than a standard controller.

    The rear paddles are a game changer. Awesome to program for ground and reload or air rolls on rocket league. I’ve had for a little over a year and getting some stick drift though. Only downside so far.

    Great controller with a decent amount of heft to the weight and tightness of the thumbsticks and buttons. Really provided an edge to my playing!

    Controller feels good in your hands. Everything feels solid on this one and the magnetic interchangeable thumb sticks and makes this controller awesome for games like COD or Destiny!

    Got this controller on a sale and have not been disappointed. However be wary that these and most other controllers do get the joystick drift at some point.

    I like this controller a lot. It matches my xbox and helps me get the best shot while playing my games. I would buy this again. I have been wanting a white xbox controller and this is it.

    Let me start out saying I play Xbox at least 3 hours a day. I am 48 years old and have played on pretty much every system over that timeframe. This controller is the best one I have ever used. However, it isn't perfect. The first one I got right after they came out had an issue where one of the triggers sticking a few months later. I swapped it out using the Geek Squad warranty for a new one. Purchased another warranty, and this one started having movement continue after releasing the right stick, after about a year of constant use. Makes it challenging to play certain games, so I will be swapping it out again and getting another. Buy the Geek Squad coverage. Totally worth it!
