    This controller is expensive. It’s actually my brothers purchase, and he has replaced like 3 of these. Luckily- he also gets the replacement plan, so when it breaks (usually one of the bumpers), $20 gets him a new one..... he’s actually gonna switch back to regular controllers soon. We game hard and burn through controllers. So, unless you really want the perks, I’d advise to just get more games or something instead haha. Maybe I’m jealous. They are really nice controllers. If it’s in your budget- do it!

    I returned it because I didn't see the value in it for 150, if it was 120 that would be different. If you want the best controller on the market, this is it.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller! Once you've gotten used to gaming with the back paddles, you may find that you can't go back to a regular controller. But if they're ever getting in the way during a certain game, you can also remove them or "lock" them. For information on locking the paddles on your Elite, go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/how-to-lock-paddles-elite-controller

      Hope that helps,
