    You get what you pay for with this controller. It's extremely well made and durable and the flippers on the bottom of the controller are actually very nice. However it is an older model controller and anyone who's used a newer controller for the Xbox will understand what I mean. The controller is not as responsive as I'd like especially for this price. I also had random disconnects and buttons that would stick out of nowhere. It's a very nice controller but I'd recommend waiting till the updated model is released eventually.

    A bit pricey but feels so much better than the standard controllers. Only issue I have is my cat tries to hide my joysticks from me.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for sharing your love for your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. Be warned, though: Cats are notorious for stealing thumbsticks for their own nefarious purposes. It may be because they lack thumbs themselves. We recommend storing your unused thumbsticks in the handy carrying case that came with your Elite controller in order to foil whatever it is they're plotting.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    I really like this controller but it's really pricey. It's customizable and they do feel good but I could see them going out after a while. You may want to get the protection plan on this one.

    We loved this controller so much we bought a second one. It's heavier and has programmable buttons! It's the only one we use now for our Xbox One.

    This should be the controller that comes with the Xbox. It has lots of customization and feels better then the normal controller. Buttons are easily removable for games that you do t need them.

    There's not a better controller available... but get the protection plan. It WILL break and you're not going to want to live without it.

    For more serious gamers for sure. Key binding and extra paddles on the rear to never take your fingers off the sticks. 100% worth every penny!

    Feels great in hands. One word of advice though make sure you get extended item replace for it because Microsoft only has three month warrenty.
