    Let's address the big elephant in the room right now: Price. Yes, this thing costs $150. This is a premium product aimed at a certain demographic. You can almost get 2 regular controllers for the price of this one. The regular Xbox One controller is great and will continue to be great. Really, that is all you need from now until the day Microsoft pushes the last Xbox One off its assembly lines. What the Elite controller does is focus on aesthetics, construction, and yes- some tweaks that some say may give you a slight edge, but in reality, I don’t believe actually make you “better” at games. Everything clips in magnetically. The thumb sticks, paddles, and D-pad come out with little force but while playing they seem to stay in without issue. It comes with a cool carrying case (keep it – you will need it to store all your extra parts# and a nice BRAIDED USB cable #this is huge for me#. You can lower the actuation point of the triggers so your fingers don't have to travel as far to shoot. The paddles on the back of this thing are the weirdest but coolest part. It's like the first time you ever use a new controller and you have to learn how to use it again# Even though I have been using the Steam controller for the better part of half a month that has something similar but not quite) after 3 days I feel I have it now. I can tell during my Halo matches I am pressing the paddles and its becoming muscle memory as I will press the paddles during intense battles to switch weapons/reload- but every so often I catch myself pressing X/Y on the front of the controller- which is perfectly fine. The biggest thing I appreciate is how it feels in your hand. I am all about the construction of something and I hate it when things feel cheap, plastic and hollow. This is the complete opposite of these things. It feels sturdy, solid, and has this nice textured grip. If you got $150 you don’t know what to do with and want a better gaming experience- get this. If you got a birthday or anniversary coming up, ask for this.
