    I bought this controller for use on my Xbox one and gaming PC. I am very happy with the feel of the controller. And the ability to change the parts for different height sticks and so forth are awesome.

    This is a great controller. I was skeptical about how good it would be because of the price, but it was worth it. Started playing with my husband and we both love it.

    Wife got this for me for my birthday. The level of customization is astounding, only draw back is that it doesn't have bluetooth connection so I couldn't pair it with my computers without an adapter.

    I like the options given with this controller like adjustable button heights and dpad. I have not used the paddles yet, took them off because i would unintentionally press them during play. Price tag could be less, but overall I am please with the controller.

    I bought this controller because using the bumpers hurts my arthritic hands. I was able to map the bumpers to the buttons on the bottom. It is a bit heavier than the other controllers. Very well made.

    The controller is a very nice and unique controller. Great to be able to modify and use in any game the way you play. Connects easy and very easy to make adjustments where and when you want.

    This is a great controller for the Xbox One. Feels great and their are so many options to configure. I was a bit sceptical as the [roce is quite high but I was very happy once I started using it.

    I bought this mainly for COD Infinite Warfare gameplay. The paddles mean I never have to take my thumb from the joysticks. This greatly enhances maneuverability in a game like COD. I have fairly large hands and was a bit surprised at how sensitive the paddles can be. It definetly takes some getting used to. I eventually took two of the paddles out and only use the smaller ones in the uppermost position. With all four, I found the controller too hard to hold onto. Plus, I tend to grib the controller fairly hard, so that was an issue. After a few months using it, I don't think I can go back to the normal controller for shooters. It's such a big improvement. Highly recommended.

    The controller feels fantastic. I don't have much use for the paddles on the rear, I wanted the swappable joysticks and the quality of this controller over the standard model.

    Worth every penny. This was the best controller available for XBOX One for a long time. But the new/next-gen controllers might be better.

    To be honest, I don’t feel the love for this controller anymore and here the reasons why. 1. The paddles are not that great, fall out and not labeled. 2. It’s hard to use the paddles 3. No Bluetooth 4. No wireless battery pack, which I believe should be included. The reasons I like the Elite: 1. Fine tune the controller settings, lots of options 2. The feel and grip 3. Customer d-sticks and swap 4. Two profile for a controller layout In my honest opinion, I wouldn’t recommend unless you are really into fine tuning controller settings. Maybe wait for the next version of the Elite? Only time will time

    This really is the best controller. The response, and customizability of this control is ridiculous. It also feels a little heavier in your hand in a good way. Can't go back

    Best Xbox One Controller

    This is by far the best Xbox One controller available. There's an app on the Xbox One to customize your button layout for all games. My only complaint is that there is no rechargeable battery with it. For the price you pay, a battery should be included.
