The Xbox One Elite Controller brings a lot to the table: higher build quality, rear paddles for a more precise user experience, and fully customizable set up via in system app. If you game at night or in a dark room the most under rated aspect of this controller is the ability to adjust the brightness on the Xbox home button.
Cons: I've felt since day one that $150 is too much. Pick it up on sale and you'll have no regrets.

It was a nice controller but to me wasn't worth the 150.00 price tag. But the controller is built and feels really nice. If your a hardcore gamer you will probably love this controller.

2nd Elite Purchase

I have an Elite that I have used for a year or two and absolutely love it. I purchased a second for a co-worker as an Xmas Gift.
Great controller, heavier weighted that the standard controllers, paddles work awesomely with being able to custom assign buttons. Overall, I love it and obviously would purchase again (since I already did!)

The build quality on this is top notch, the weight feels substantial enough to feel good without being too heavy. And those paddles, I was skeptical but they have changed my life. I feel a deep longing each time I am forced to use a classic controller (which is good, but not great like this bad boy).

Sure it is an expensive controller, but you get what you pay for. Best to purchase the 2 year warranty through GeekSquad as I cannot account for all controllers. Be cognizant of what game you are playing because the triggers may need to be further formatted so it fits your gaming needs. I like the customization aspects and the feel of the controller-- I think everyone can agree on that. If you like to play a lot of shooter type games, then this is a controller that is a must-have.

This controller is amazing. Very hard controller to get your hands on. Has a great feel in your hands with the weight and grips. All the interchangeable parts are great. The paddles make it awesome. Not having to take your thumbs off the joy sticks and just hit the paddles buttons are great. A must have controller.

As good if not better than Scuf

I wanted a pro gaming controller for a long time but didn't want to pay for a scuf. I found this one that is maybe not as customizable, but has all the features I want for a pro gaming controller and is customizable in the most important ways. It's improving my game and making me more competitive. Still haven't tried customizing the buttons yet, but more practice with the controller will show how to best configure them for my best use. I'd highly recommend this controller for people looking to better their game.

I've been using the Elite controller for a couple months now and I've enjoyed it. The controller is heavier than the regular wireless but the added weight makes the controller feel excellent in the hands. The grip coverage for palms is definitely an improvement. Love that it came with a carrying case and also a braided cable for wired use. Controller is really responsive and lots of ways to customize. Definitely recommend.

This controller feels very nice. It’s sturdy. Lots of features on it. I really like it. $150 is a lot for it, I got it on promotion for $100 so it’s not as bad.

If you own an Xbox One, this is a must buy. The build quality is great. I love the hardware customization and the button remapping included with the Xbox app. Because of this Elite controller, I will never use a standard system controller again. This includes my PS4 controller. As a matter of fact, I gave my daughter my PS4 because I refuse to use their controller. If you decide to buy an Elite controller, I would definitely suggest you explore the settings in the app. The customization is awesome.

I love to participate in online races in Forza Horizon 2 and this controller makes me love the experience all that more. From its smooth feeling finish, great hand grips, the extra weight of the controller (better build quality), swappable d-pad and thumbsticks, and the ability to reassign buttons to the paddles etc..., make this the ultimate xbox one controller. It is well worth the asking price.

This controller is absolutely worth the price on the feel alone. The weight of the controller and the way the buttons feel when pressed is a real joy to any gamer. Also, the rubber texture on the back is great and let's not forget how useful the paddles can be especially in a FPS. The bumpers can finally be pressed with ease compared to the original and they have a satisfying click to them. The interchangeable pieces are awesome so forget getting kontrol freeks since this kit got you covered!
