    Great controller, but the bumpers can easily break

    Honestly, I can't imagine playing competitive games without paddles anymore. Just be careful with the bumpers!

    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.

    Great quality, but....

    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.

    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

      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,
