    I think the concept behind this controller is great but it could use a few tweaks I think the paddles would be better if they were built into the controller and placed a little differently

    Competitive advantage

    Upgraded to this controller after realizing I couldn’t keep up in FPS when removing my thumb from the stick to jump, melee, etc. The first one I bought was a lemon, but the replacement has been going strong. The Xbox app to configure is easy to use and offers a lot of features such as thumbstick smoothing and customized vibration levels. The only downside is the controller is pretty heavy. Battery life is better than the factory controller because I turned down all the vibration.

    There is something about the price of $150 for controller that just feels like price gouging. Its a good controller, just not $150 good.

    Its a great controller with many different additions to it. I have had the elite for over a year and i wouldn't regret buying it. One thing that i would say sucks for the controller would be that after a while the rubber on the back of the controller starts to wear off. Aside from that it is a great product and really worth the money. Just make sure you get a protection plan for it!

    The price put me off before I bought it, but it's worth every penny. The controller's construction is incredible. It makes the great Xbox One controller feel like a piece of junk in comparison. I don't understand why people have said the performance increase won't matter to most gamers unless they're pros. It's definitely given me a huge advantage in multiplayer games like Black Ops 3, and even singleplayer like Doom. Just buy one.

    My fiancé loves this controller in fact it’s the only Xbox controller he will use but I feel they need replacing more often than the standard. To put it in perspective, I only use a standard Xbox controller and have only had 1 replacement. This is his 4th Pro controller. He takes care of his stuff so I’m not sure why this keeps happening to them but for a $125.00 product I wish they lasted longer

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
