    It's a good controller, but when using it for PC, the connection is unstable and would disconnect constantly. Using a wire fixes the issue but if you wanted a wireless controller this isn't it.

    Purchased this for my son’s birthday while it was on sale before christmas. his birthday is the second week of January, and the controller was nicely priced at around $104 or something like that. The controller worked great, out of the box, but come back a week later and it is dead. No biggie, but long story short, after trying to charge it for a few days, still not working, so go to take it back and was denied by Best Buy. They said I should have purchased the $50 extended warranty or some such. Disappointed to say the least. Wont be purchasing from Best Buy again. That same day, purchased new washer (not from BB though)…

    Miss Leading Open Box

    While the controller was fine, the "open box" was not as advertised or what I paid for. On line, there are 3 options for my BB Store for open boxes. I paid for "excellent" condition but got home and actually receive "fair" condition. It didn't even come with a charging cable!!! Suppose now there is nothing I can do, but just make sure you get what you paid for BEFORE you leave the store.

    As an elite controller buyer it make sense to save The extra money for the same specs minus all of the additional accessories. Also the color options add a flare instead of the standard black elite controller.

    This thing is a sculpted masterpiece! I loved the first gen controller and they went and upgraded it. This thing is incredible. I’m annoyed off though. One of my family members (I’m pretty sure) three away my d-pad and since Microsoft doesn’t make replacement parts I’m going to have to but from a sketchy third party and hope it all works properly.
