    Kinda though it wouldn't be worth the price tag but it really is. The whole controller feels like an upgrade from standard controllers.

    Great controller. The grips can begin to come off so be careful, otherwise it’s much better than a standard with the paddles and stick heights.

    This controller feels great. The buttons on the back take some getting used to. Trigger locks and button customization make gaming much more enjoyable.

    I love this controller. It takes a bit to get use to with the paddles on the bottom. When you get enough game time in it becomes second nature. Love it

    After about 100 days of use the left bumper stopped functioning. That was a waste. I bought a second one but with a warranty. After 4 months of use the same thing happened. Left bumper broke. Works great new. Get warranty with the controller though.

    I actually bought two of these. I first got mine because I play destiny at a high level. I needed the ability to control my movements in the air and use the evade feature on TG or Nightstalker. Once you use one of these you wont go back. It takes a few days to get used to the new layout but overall it is pretty easy to do. I gave mine to my wife because she is left handed and swaps the thumbsticks. this gave her four buttons (ABXY) under the controller so she can move and jump/crouch/etc. I ended up buying another because I couldn't go back to the regular controller.

    This is the smoothest controller I have ever used. It definitely gives you an advantage over a regular controller with the extra paddles on it.

    Being able to set the sensitivity of the triggers and the addition of the paddles make this controller superior to the standard Xbox one controller.

    I LOVE this controller. Well worth every single penny. There is so many modifications you can do to the controller and it feels much better after owning it than playing with somebody else or watching a review of it. Not only are the modifications really nice, the 4 paddle options ALWAYS give you the upper advantage in every game because you don't have to or rarely have to take your fingers of the stick, making multitasking with buttons possible. The controller feels really nice in hand and has a nice weight to it as well. I would definitely recommend. 5 STARS.

    This thing is great. It honestly gives you an advantage over someone with just a regular controller. It does however start falling apart at about a year and I don't mean the function, but the physical grips. They have some glue that seems to be a little weak. I will recommend anyone to buy this, but make sure you get an extended warranty. If the grips fall off or the LB button breaks you absolutely can not go back to a regular controller. So get the warranty and save yourself some money in the long run.

    Defective Product

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Do not purchase product. I was a fan of xbox and am a PC gamer. I have the old xbox 360 controller and was very excited to hear about the xbox one elite controller. I purchased one for use on my pc window 10. No problems connecting. The biggest issue was when I started to play with it that within two weeks the left button broke off. So being a fan of xbox and PC... I brushed it off as it was just this one controller that was defective and I went and bought another and another. They all had the same problem which was after playing with it for sometime the left button would break off. I play shooter and rpg games, that we all know require hardcore repetitive button play and for a controller that advertises it self for the hardcore gamers and competitive gamers. This is not a product that meets the standards. See photos below.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
