    When they work, best controller for the Xbox. They have a VERY high failure rate and only a 3 month factory warranty, so the geek squad protection plan is a must and well worth the 2 years of coverage. I Own 3 of these controllers by the way. If they didn't have such a high failure rate I would give them 5 stars all day.

    Very easy to purchase, had multiple people help me to find the product I was looking for. Not only that but found the product I was looking for but in a different color than wanted, which helped me love the color I chose even better.

    Everything worked well. After using it for a day ish, the next day the bumpers quit working. Had to pay for warranty through Microsoft to send me another.

    A and B button miss inputs right out of the box. Absolutely no quality control at Microsoft. They just took some old controllers that didn't sell and slapped them in new packaging and called it "Core"

    Like all Xbox Controllers, this is an overpriced cheap product that stops working correctly after a few months (stick sway, padel buttons not working). For the price these controllers have, there should be quality control! Don't believe me? Just browse the internet and you'll see how many people have issues with sway and bumpers. I though the elite would be higher quality. I was wrong.
