Love the Roseville store. Was told it wasn’t available but luck was on my side that a Microsoft rep was there and helped me! They ran to back and got me 1 of 3 that they had left! Anyone who knows Xbox and elite controllers knows how hard it is to get your hands on one. My husband got me my white elite the day it came out and I love it so much. I wanted to replace his broken black one and Best Buy had my back. Walked me to the front of the line and answered all my questions. Love this store and it’s sevice! Having the time with the Microsoft rep was just icing on the entire experience!

Being a 30 years of gaming gamer, this controller is a no brainer. Very easy to sync up. The custom trigger set up was easy to do. It is properly named. Elite

I love this Xbox controller! I've bought two of them and they're amazing. The grips come off after a lot of use but other than that, they're great controllers.

This is really a great product… Definitely stands apart from the traditional controller. The quality and customizability of the product is better than any controller on any platform ever.

First off buy this item when its on sale. Its got a heavy weight too it so its satisfying to hold.
You have to customize controls for each game separately from the xbox menu so dont expect to just dive in using the additional buttons.

This was a replacement from my previous purchase from Amazon. I paid less from Amazon but the previous controller only lasted less than 3/mo. Left thumb stick wasn't engaging when pressed on. I was able to get a refund from Amazon (only 3/mo warranty) and headed to BB that day to purchase another elite controller. Buy the extended warranty from BB for $20....it is worth it! It covers you for 2yrs with a full replacement,! Amazon will repair it with their extended warranty! Not to mention sending back to them and waiting who knows how long to get it back! All I have to do is drive down to BB and replace it and I'm back playing again. For $170 total it is worth it! BTW I really take care of all the items I own. The original Xbox one controller that came with the console is still working after a year

If you have the extra cash get this controller. I know that $150 sounds crazy for a controller, but it is worth the money. you get a solid built controller that will last for years.

It takes a bit to get used to, but I love the extra paddles and the heavier durability compared to regular controller. Customized buttons are awesome. Real gamers have to love them!

Controller feels great in hands. Button configuration is versatile. I love the magnetic attachment points. Vibration however kills the batteries pretty fast. So I just turn it off.

Only been a short time with this controller in my hands. I have played Division 2, Dauntless, Slime Rancher and more with this controller. I bought an open box because it was cheaper. First and foremost, I don't hear cracking and crunching in stressful moments like I do with ordinary controllers. The weight adds surprising comfort and helps me feel like I have a bit more control. I love the rounded thumb sticks. They have saved my thumbs a lot of agony, lol. I could go on, but again, only had this controller for a short while at this point so time will tell.
