    This thing is amazing. I play in competitive tournaments and this thing improved me by bounds. The ability to customize triggers, trigger sensitivity, adjust the layout with paddles, adjust your stick size and adjust your stick sensitivity and how quickly it reacts based off your movements is AWESOME.

    I had used a ps3 and 360 controller before but this is the best out of anything I've used before, the matte finish is great. I wish support was made for bluetooth as the new xbox one controllers have but I'm fine with using the adapter on my pc with it. No lag and amazing comfort.

    Got it for cheap using the Best Buy trade-in offer and 30% off through student deals. So far, it's worth every penny. Also purchased the extended BB warranty to be safe in the long term!

    I have had this controller for a little while now and it is the best controller I have ever bought. The ability to assign buttons to the underside of the controller and the ability to lock the triggers to where you don't have to push them down so far so you get a faster reaction time. Definitely worth the money

    My wife bought this for me and I absolutely love it. Going from the original controller to this Elite is by far a better controller! Even though it was missing to thumb sticks bring it was an aspen box item it still works great. Thinking about getting another one

    I bought one of these 2 years ago from gamestop. Unfortunately within 2 years, the LB (left bumper) broke. I love this controller so much I bought it again from Best Buy but I also purchased the 2 year Geek Squad protection plan. Consider doing so if you buy this controller

    I bought this controller for my husband and he loves it . He has literally pushed all the other controllers to the back , he even lets our 1 year old play with the others as if they weren’t expensive too . However , the elite controller is well worth the money spent . Glad I bought it !

    great purchase for somebody who dedicates a lot of time this advanced gaming. Playing online MOBAs with this controller has made everything so much easier. Adding in multiple pieces to change out on the controller helps get the right feel depending on what game you are playing

      Hey Chris,

      We're glad that the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller has been a great purchase for you. Good call on using it to play online MOBAs as well -- being able to configure controls seems like it would be a must for competitive players. We hope you continue to get a lot of use out of it.

      Happy gaming,

    Game-changing Controller

    This controller upgrades the Xbox gaming experience in every way. Comfortable to hold, dimmer white light, responsive sticks, and great button response. Seems closer to a $100 value than $150, if maybe you can find an open box or other deals, but if you can afford it, this will change your game.
