    man having the paddles on the back and having mappable buttons is a game changer. Defiantly worth the money.

    Great Controller

    This is my second. The first lasted about a year and then rubber grip came off and the bumper broke. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the geek squad coverage and now am out $150 for new controller and $37 for 2-year geek squad coverage. I highly recommend getting the coverage because these are notorious for the rubber grip coming off, having one of the controllers starting to drift and breaking bumpers because they are made of flimsy plastic. The no-hassle exchange from Best Buy is a worthwhile investment for such an expensive controller

    My 13yr old gamer son received for Christmas 2017. He really likes it and gives it 4 stars. His review...sometimes the round magnetic D-pad can move during game play. Magnet connections could be stronger to get 5 stars. After reading reviews & the high price of the remote we did purchase the geek squad warranty with Best Buy it covers it for 2yrs! He would definitely recommend it to a friend. You can design the remote buttons where you want them to be. It's cool and a great gift for the Xbox one gamer in your life! *We recommend buying rechargable batteries!

    This is easily one of the best controller design in history. An official modded controller from Microsoft for Xbox. All the customizable and swappable components that are available are excellent. The grips are superb and the controller is finished with a nice, smooth, feeling material. There are also serveral third party attachments you can get for this controller, such as Scuf and PowerA. I recommend this for anyone into racing, fighting, or shooting games.

    I originally bought the elite because i wanted to replace rb and lb with back triggers. However The controller has softer and easier lb and rbs to press, so no need for them. Also the directional cross replaced with the metal circle has more precision than the conventional cross which with fast button pressing you can accidentally press two directions at the same time, but with that circle you dont have that problem. I simply love it is the best controller to play ffxiv with.
