    Quality Controller

    Quality controller and programmable. It is great with shooter games because of the paddles. You can Adjust trigger min/max values, thumbstick sensitivities, button assignments. Takes a little bit of playing to get used to all that it does, but when you do it's GREAT. A little pricey.

    The controller is great in every way especially with its extras. Problems I had with it is it takes getting used to holding it properly with the paddles...my hands kept hitting the paddles and cramping up. It is noticeably heavier than the standard controller. If you use a controller charging station it may not work on this controller since this one has a different battery cover.

    All XBOX one controllers are flimsy. They either develop forward drift in the left stick, or the bumper buttons break. The longest any have lasted issue free is 6 months. It's not the user, It's the quality. I have XBOX 360 controllers that are 8 years old that still behave like they are new.

    Once you feel the butter smooth thumb sticks, you will know you made the right choice. A bit pricey, but once you have it in your hands a couple of hours, you will know it was money well spent. I would suggest getting the protection plan for this item.

    Best X Box1 Controller Available

    Although expensive, the Elite is the best controller available for the serious gamer. I use 2 triggers (reload and switch weapons). Trigger sensitivity allows faster aiming and firing. Programmable stick sensitivity is also very useful. Because of the high cost, the 2 year warranty is recommended.

    Second elite controller. First one lasted me 3 years and had to replace it after the gipps on the side started peeling and the thumb sticks weren't responding. Thought about taking it back considering I've been hearing rumblings about a Elite controller 2.0 but couldn't wait.

    Bought it for my fiancé, he's been going on about it 24/7 and it had been sold out for months, so when I finally got my hands on it I was super excited to give it to him. No complaints from him, he loves it! I do recommend getting the warranty on it though.

    Awesome customization (I'd recommend checking out YouTube to get the most of the features). We've had it for a few months now (daily use) and the primary user thinks the paddles are showing more wear than he would have hoped, but he definitely likes it better than his Scuf. Takes getting used to because this controller weighs more than the Scuf, but he's pleased!

    Best controller I've ever used. I was on the fence for awhile about it. It's not cheap. However you don't want cheap when it comes to durability, versatility and comfort. It is night and day from a standard controller. Only one I use now and I own 4 other official Xbox ones. Simply great!

    This is by far the best controller your gonna get for xbox one. Them scuff controllers....garbage 3rd party stuff.... 1 thing to look out for is the temperature change around your area. The rubber grips on mine started to peel off when it went from hot to cold around here. I had to super glue it back together. Other then that GET THIS CONTROLLER! you wont regret it.

    All I can say is.... this controller is amazing. That being said I’m on my 4th one. There is no question, you better buy the protection plan so you can swap these out when they go bad. And no I have never dropped it!

    This control is awesome and it feels premium compared to the regular Xbox controller. But the new elite controller that’s coming out is packed with more features and it has a 40 hr battery life. This controller didn’t come with a rechargeable battery.

    This is not the controller to hand over to the kids to knock around, this is the one you keep secret and respect. Really comfortable and easy to use, yet it is baffling it doesn't come with rechargeable batteries. Yes, it will take a bit to figure out the exact layout of changeable buttons that fit your gameplay style, but that is part of the fun. Well worth the price.

    By far the beefiest controller I have ever owned, and for that reason alone, it does not get used as much as it should. The features are amazing and the pairing with the xbox is seamless. The response is great and the button feel solid. Just know that if you do not like heavy controllers, this is not the one for you.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller for the most part. While the Elite is a little heavier and sturdier than standard controllers, it was designed in collaboration with pro-level players to deliver game-changing accuracy, faster speed, and a tailored feel unlike anything before. The extra heft may take a little bit to get used to, but hopefully the improvement in gameplay makes it worth it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck
