    This is an awesome controller. I bought as a gift and turned out it was a duplicate gift. But it is a really nice controller.

    The controller is well-built and has more "heft" than the traditional plastic ones. The four paddles on the back can be moved around and interchanged as you see fit. For a guy with bigger hands, I found I was not able to use all 4 paddles, but I was able to live with the top left, top right, and bottom right without issue. They take some getting used to, especially if you have not used paddles before. Adding presets to buttons, swapping profiles, and changing assignments is a breeze with the Xbox Accessories app. All-in-all, I am very happy with my purchase.

    On my xbox 360 I was using a homemade scuf like controller so I dreaded when I would move to the xbox one cause the configuration of scuf I'd want is just too expensive. This elite controller has all the functionality and configurable options that I was wanting in a scuf. I've been using two for over a year now and have had no issues. My only negative would be that there are no replaceable sticks that have a larger top like some of the kontrol freaks. The long sticks are great, I just wish there was one that had a slightly larger convex top.

    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.

    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.

    I previously owned a scuf that I purchased back in 2015 but it started having problems after a year or two. They wouldn’t fix it because it was “too old” when I sent it in for repairs so I decided to try out the elite controller. I really enjoy the weight of the controller and the customizable features. It would be cool to have more color options but the base matte black looks cool too. A lot of people say that the paddles are uncomfortable, but they fit my hands pretty well.

    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!
