    Good solid controller for competitive gaming. Works as advertised. I gave it 4 stars because its overpriced for one and it does not game with rechargeable batteries.......for the price tag they should at least hook a playa up.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you agree Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a great controller for competitive gaming! While the Elite isn't rechargeable out of the box, it is compatible with rechargeable battery packs such as the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. It offers up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge and can be fully recharged in just under four hours. It can be found on BestBuy.com here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-one-play-charge-kit-black/9008298.p?skuId=9008298

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    This controller is so awesome! My son loves it and loves how it feels in his hands. He also connects it to his PC and uses it too.

    For the longest time I scoffed at the idea of paddle buttons on the back of the controller. But when I finally started using it, everything came together. Firstly to those who don't know, the paddles aren't additional buttons for input, the paddles replicate other buttons on the controller. You will need to select which buttons (via software) each paddle becomes. After a little practice to overcome years of habit, it feels so much better. You can customize other features like analog stick height, the d-pad, and trigger sensitivity. Also the brightness of the Xbox logo. It's not perfect though. The price is high, Microsoft didn't bother with a rechargeable kit, only connects via their proprietary wireless connection (which means that you need to buy a PC adapter for wireless), it still feels clunky teaching up to hit the Xbox button.

    I bought this controller but was a little sketchy on the price. It’s defibately worth buying for shooting games for sure. I recommend buying the 2. Year warranty tho.

    I had to replace the controller that orginally came with my xbox. This controller had the best reviews and once I started using it I understood why. It has great grip and is very comfortable to use for long hours.

    I wish my girlfriend's buttons were this easy to push....they both cost about the same. Xbox should be ashamed for the horrible controllers that come with the system.

    Upgraded from the standard controller. What a improvement. Customizable buttons make games easier to play. Buttons and controls are more sensitive giving u more control.

    Though this controller is really setup for people who play first person shooters, this controller is amazing period. From the moment you take it out of the box, you know you've bought quality!

    It's a wireless controller...

    What's there to really say. It works great as a controller, the only downside being that you can't power it off manually (it has to time out), and some PC games don't react well when it does power off (if you've paused the game for dinner, for example).

    Got the controller open box for about $120. It's a little heavier than normal controller which is to be expected considering all the features Microsoft packed into it. Great customization options.

    Little more weight, but easy to customize the button mapping and option 4 more buttons. Id say it will keep functioning way longer then the standard controller and say me money in the long run

    Microsoft has gone through generations of controllers. The Xbox One Elite shows that they have put what they learned, into effect. This is an improvement over all previous controllers.

    I love this controller. It takes a few uses to adjust to the bigger controller but I found that I suffer less fatigue with this controller. Only drawback is the price.

    Bought to play games on my PC. Works pretty well, but I wish you could use the program the buttons to keyboard strokes as well. I just wish there was more functionality to the programming. All you can do is program already existing buttons to other locations. No macros or new button options.
