    Great controller

    This controller is great. Very sturdy and lots of options when configuring for games. Its a little pricey for a console, but compared to some of the high end pc controllers its a lot cheaper than those and offers most of the same options. I would recommend you add the 2 year warranty for it. I have only had it for a 2 months or so and its been perfect, but if something were to go wrong it would suck to have to shell out 150 bucks again. I will update this review again if something happens with the controller, hopefully not though! :)

    Weighted nice, comfortable, but takes time getting used to extra buttons (as expected). Tip: remember to double-tap the button to turn paddles off before setting the controller down.

    I love the feel of this devise but Microsoft needs to take responsibility for the left stick drift. We pay a lot for this controller and deserve better components.

    I've been reading the reviews on this product since it's announcement and launch. I had considered a Scuf controller in the past but they can get pricy when you start the build with prices going into the hundreds. If you have that kind of money laying around than it's not a bad buy for you. With the Elite controller, you get the best features for a pro controller, a good price, and if it is in stock you can walk out of the store with it in the same day. Even though it is described as a pro controller this will enhance anyone's game.

    High quality and design but paddles can be better

    The controller is very well built and has a very sturdy design. It definitely feels like you're getting what you pay for but the paddles underneath seem to be "in the wrong place". I think Scuf has much better paddle placement but this is coming from a gamer who does not invest much time in console/controller gaming as I am primarily PC mouse/kb so your mileage will vary. I think the Elite controller has an upper hand on quality as there has been a lot of reported next-gen console Scuf controllers going bad/faulty. Make sure before making your purchase that you do the research and (unlike me) allow your muscle memory to develop when it comes to new devices.
