    This controller was one that I had my eyes on for a long while. After finally receiving it, I was a bit disappointing at how similar it feels to the other Xbox controllers. Besides the excellent controller grips and color, the thumb stick sensitivity is like the regular Xbox controllers. Xbox controllers in general have a bigger gap when it comes to precise thumb stick aiming than PlayStation so it was disappointing to see that the elite controller is the exact same when it is advertised as being able to set your thumb stick sensitivity. This is nowhere near the same sensitivity as Returned after a few days of testing.

    This is the Best Controller out there built in battery a great little charger stand. I love the feel of this it is a little heavy but not bad at all. Having the extra buttons under the controller is great. You can set up the controller any way you want the buttons to go.

    One of the best xbox controllers I've used much better than the first elite. This has not had the issue with the rubber coming loose like the first elite.

    Buyer beware: Controller feels good in hand, worked well for 4 months. The internals began to give out and the button responsiveness went down to a point of no input. Further inquiry from others leads me to believe this is a common issue in this controller series. Before you buy be aware you may shortly be involved in the back forth of shipping this controller out for repairs.

    Absolutely garbage and waste of money,it constantly disconnects from Xbox at random times not to mention it won't stay charged at all no matter what I do.Ive used it nearly a month and it already has stick drift which is ridiculous so I'm my personal option just buy a regular Xbox remote don't waste your time on this crap.

    while the controller is an amazing product the durability of the product is lacking a bit, the bumper button for my controller went out so I was thankful that I had a total tech membership to help me replace the item whennit started to fail. it is a lot of money to spend for a controller but the added bonus of everything it offers over a standard controller is worth it. heres hoping the next version is better quality.
