    This was an excellent buy for my grandson, He was the star of the group when his friends seen and used his remote. All the kids loved the way it work, they said it shot a lot faster and you are able to move around much better. They also liked the idea of being able to switch the knobs, they thought that was pretty cool.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Paddles are perfect for PVP allowing you to keep thumbs on joysticks and throw grenades, etc.
