    I owned the Series 1 Gears of War 4 edition and I loved it (until the grips came off). With the Age of Quarantine, I have been gaming a lot more and really missed my Elite. So when i had a chance to buy this, I could not press "Add to Cart" any quicker!!! Yes...it is expensive, but it is worth it.

    Overall the controller works good but within three months of my purchase the RB button is already starting to stick and not work, it works sometimes but only when I press it hard, if I lightly press the RB button it does not work, so definitely make sure you purchase the warranty on this controller. It's $45 for 2 years and it's worth it because Microsoft does put out junk controllers and this is probably the best of the junk controllers they have out of their junky controllers.....that's why Microsoft is in a class action lawsuit right now for putting out trash controllers I literally have nine controllers on my shelf that do not work, I have three kids and I'm on my 10th controller.

    Battery life is awesome. Played most of the weekend and still had half life in the battery. Adjustment of the left and right triggers gives an advantage on fps games.

    The elite controller is the only way to go. The triggers are worth it alone not to mention the weight of the elite. It’s a hefty controller.
