    [Employee of bestbuy] Great customization for controller, if you’re replacing an older elite this is a great option to look into.

    The feeling of this controller is amazing!!! I got it for my husband and he can not keep it out his hands. But, when I get a hold of it, I do enjoy playing game for a bit longer than usually, thanks to this controller.

    So far a great buy. Only difference between this and regular elite is it doesn’t include paddles but I’m not a fan of so it’s okay, plus you can buy separately.

    Works good, I like all the features and abilities with it but they could work on the quality a little bit more, seems like the buttons aren’t as responsive as they should.

    Haven’t heard complains from my 13 yr old son but only positive comments. I must say, though, it was pretty expensive which pushes me forward to have my son work from now on if he wants to get such things (not a bad idea now).

    Best feeling controller there is. Make sure you get the accessory app to map the buttons. Only complaint is that you need the adapter for it work well wirelessly.
