    you can set this thing up in so many ways, it was sort of overwhelming at first. but the i thought.....what are the two most buttons i did not like to push the most, then i moved them to the bottom (I'm only using 2 of the 4 bottom switches) ie, running in Destiny you have to click down the left stick to sprint, now i just tap the bottom left switch and away i go. i also found out that i like the short stick (gimble) on the left side where i use it wide open to run, and i like the longer stick (gimble) on the right stick where i need more precision for shooting. i now love the thing!!!

    I bought this controller for the feel and look. A regular controller does the job if you are a casual gamer. Purchase insurance to protect your investment.

    First off, this controller starts off as a dream. Custom configuration, custom analogs, dpad and paddles beneath the controller (which I take off). The biggest problem comes in with the trigger locks. The whole point of this controller is for shooters. However, the trigger locks depend on a piece of plastic inside that breaks without fail. I am not a spaz on the controller, yet I've had three of these break the trigger locks. With all the quality and here, why did they skimp on the biggest pressure point? Add to that the price you pay...sub par and that's a shame.

    Great upgrade to standard controller

    I got this controller so that I could have faster switching when I was gaming. I have been very happy with the performance of this controller and think it's an upgrade that any serious gamer should make. The only issue I've had is the sensitivity of the back switches when it comes to standard Xbox operations. Sometimes I would set down the controller and just the slightest tap on the back switch would cause the XBox to do something. I don't fault the controller for this, but wanted to note it for others to be aware.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying the upgraded performance of your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. If the back paddles are too sensitive when not in use, you have two options: Removing them or locking them. For more information on how to lock the paddles, go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/how-to-lock-paddles-elite-controller

      Hope that helps,

    It's a solid controller

    I like the controller a lot. It feels very good in the hands with the textured grips. The sticks are much better than the standard controller sticks in that they seem to be more responsive to movement and it feels much more fluid. The DPAD seems to be much improved as well and more accurate. The hair trigger function is absolutely essential if you play any sort of shooter game and want that competitive edge against your enemy. The paddles though are hard to get used to. I've tried playing with them several times and find myself hitting them at all the wrong times, but it may be due to how I hold the controller and playing Xbox for years without paddles where they are located. I bet if I got used to it, I could make it work.
