    My go to controller

    Hands down my go to controller. The quality isn't always the best, i definitely recommend the warranty. I'm on my third one. The first one began to get a non responsive right trigger, the second one was doing the same and stick drift. I'd swap the joysticks out for Gulli's. Regardless of the problems, the controller fits in my, larger than average, hands far better than any other I've tried.

    Elite controllers are terrible and unreliable

    I have owned three elite controllers since they came out. I have owned two series 1’s. A first gen and another about a year later (hoping the bugs were worked out). The first had the button sticking issue they were all plagued with. The other had trigger issues sticking/not responding as well as the menu buttons not responding. Both of these were returned. Now I own one of the series 2’s and they’re just as bad. I bought one and immediately had to return it. It had some sticky black rubber stuck on the right stick that locked the stick up. The one I have now works but it is not worth the price. Absolute waste of money and I will not be buying another. The controller that comes with the console lasted longer.

    When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

    Great controller. Like the heaviness and grip-no slip and the price is reasonable compared to other controllers. Also like the longer triggers. Helps

    Elite w controller exchange.

    I play roughly 10-12 hours a week. It’s the simply the best. Buy the protection plan! one of the buttons will eventually go bad, I have used both versions of the elite controller and after an extremely slow/painful exchange that took almost two months to return to me I’m working order. I had geek squad on the second elite controller and could not feel more justified in a purchase. Stopped into a store, person helping me went and grabbed a new one off the shelf and I was out the door before my appt was scheduled to start. The controller quality is unmatched but hinders the durability, buy the 2-3 year protection plan.

    This has been a great purchase for an update to my Xbox console. Definitely has given me a nice edge on game play with fps (COD) games.
