    Best controller I’ve ever used. The LB on the first gen elite controller gave out on multiple occasions so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen with this one, but as of now no complaints whatsoever.

    This has been a great controller so far. Not sure if it’s $180 great but thanks to gift cards and rewards it didn’t cost me that much. Highly recommended if you are a die hard Xbox user.

    Nothing really negative to say about this controller. Feels very premium. I will say it's hard to avoid stick drift, so get the warranty if available.

    The elite controllers are total game changers (pun intended)! If you are a serious FPS or fighting game player, these are a must have. Lots of customization and the thumb sticks are amazing.

    Excellent controller but poor quality.

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.
