Misleading
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only color that comes with the paddles and case is the black controller. If you prefer another color it’s going to cost you significantly more.

JUNK!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this OVER priced controller for 7 months and the left thumb stick has already broken.

Not for combative
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Slow response controller never seen a slower controller then this not good for comparative good for offline games
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Rethink Geek Squad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think its a quality controller. One of the buttons "sticks" when you press it. It happened right out of the box, so that was discouraging. Best Buy offers geek squad but they say I have to get it looked at but our city is landlocked and I can't travel to a local best buy. Pretty discouraging on both ends. Poor product and poor service.

Doesn’t worth the price

Junk, don't buy open box from Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have barely had this controller, never dropped, I take perfect care of my items. Already the buttons don't work. Of course Best Buy is just sending me to Microsoft to get it taken care of. I will no longer purchase from Best Buy.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller feels amazing from the first time you hold it to the thousandth time. The paddles take time to get used to but can give a real competitive advantage over others in games. Overall this thing is well designed, plays well, and the whole experience feels like a step above the rest.

Don't buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller Falls apart and buttons stick too easily
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Elite 2
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller back in November started having problems with it in January. My left thumbstick wasn't working correctly when pressing up and it was turning off randomly. I tried taking it back to Best buy but they haven't had any in for months. so they're in-store customer service said I was still within the 90-day warranty to send it back to Microsoft(I have the 2 year geek squad warranty). I had no other choice so I did so received what I'm guessing is a refurbished control from Microsoft. I have had that controller for about a week and them having worse problems with the left thumbstick then the first controller after 1 week. Best buy still doesn't have any in stock so I will be forced to send it back to Microsoft again. And I guess get another refurbished control
