    Great controller but poorly made only reason to buy this controller would be woth a solid warranty like the total tech from best buy to where you can swap it out when need be. The sticks drift within 2 months the buttons get stuck without have sticky stuff on your fingers.

    The paddles on the controller make it easier and faster to initate moves and action of the game. The controller is more comfortable to use and has grips that keep my hands from sweating.

    Some of the buttons feel kind of... mushy. I don't love that, but the paddles, customization, and feel of this controller is second to none.

    This new elite is a big upgrade from regular controller. Feels better and super smooth and solid. Charge lasts a long time and the cradle is convenient. Bad thing is upper left bumper goes out. It happened twice after about two months. Also the last one had drift. If you stop pressing forward on the stick, the dude will still walk forward even tho you aren’t touching the controller. Replaced under extended warranty.

    I tried to upload a picture of my controller along with the grips I bought separately! THIS IS THE BEST CONTROLLER IN THE PAST 6 years of streaming and gaming that I have found. I will never go back. Talk about a disadvantage when it comes to you against other players! They better watch out. My k.d has gone up immensely and has made the experience of Xbox fun again for me. Thanks guys!!

    The feeling alone of the elite controller is worth the money. Then add in the paddles and hairpin adjustments, this controller is on a whole other level.
