    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

      Hi Lauren,

      We're glad that your fiancé loves Xbox Elite Wireless Controllers, but are also sorry to hear that they've needed to be replaced more often. Each controller comes with a 90-day limited warranty, so if he happens to experience an issue with this one, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance even if it falls outside the warranty period. They can be reached here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/wireless-controller-broken-wont-work

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    The manufacturing quality of this is noticeably better than the basic Xbox One controllers, which is great, however the quality should not be compromised on the basic controller. I understand that you’re paying for a premium product but that should be because of the nicer materials used and added functionality, not overall build quality. Ultimately I’m satisfied with this, but first, it should only be around $130. And second, this build quality should be present on the $60 controller as well.

    Plagued by design flaws which cause this item to break very easily, this item is at its best when paired with a Geek Squad replacement plan. Once I used an elite controller I was unable to go back to using any other kind of controller and feeling comfort. The thing is truly a delight, but its very fragile and breaks easily. Get those replacement plans!

    There is much to love about the Elite controller. The weight is fantastic, the hair triggers is an added plus, and the overall comfort of the controller is second to none...but saying all that, I'm on my second one and it is falling apart again. My first controller I purchased and was extremely happy until I noticed that the D-Pad was sticking and making errant movements while playing the game. Getting contact with MS they sent me a new controller (thank you) and this one was fine for about a year, and then the grip started to become unglued. I had to get a hot glue gun and fix it myself, because I was beyond the warranty at this point. Annoyed I carried on, and then the LB bumper broke. Not started to stick or lose it's "click", it just fell off. The controller is fantastic, but I can't recommend it to anyone until they make better quality parts.

    If you need a new control and have the money this is a great buy if you don't mind spending a little time configuring the control to your liking if you want to take full advantage of this type of control or you can just use it without customizing the buttons it has a great solid feel to it with rubberized grips on the sides, metal flaps, and changeable analog sticks and digital pad, an excellent addition to any hardcore gamer
