    Can't say enough good things about this controller. As advertised. But definitely get the warranty if you purchase this.

    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.

    The Elite controller has a reputation for hit and miss quality. Many break within weeks of purchase even after moderate use. Mine, thankfully, hasn't broken, however there are a few issues already apparent. The left stick grinds up against something internal under certain circumstances, and both sticks drift even on default settings. The drift is manageable with the Xbox Accessories app, among other means, but the grinding has me concerned. Thankfully warranties exist.

    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.
