    Nice controller, better than the original. A bit expensive

    This is a solid controller, I don't really have many complaints but I don't have any wow moments either. For $149 it's just not worth it, the customizable buttons make it a little nicer throwing out med packs in BF1 but still just not that great of a benefit for the money. I would recommend if you can pick it up for under $100, if not wait until it is!

    Great features.... But extremely heavy

    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

    Open Box Missing item and condition of controller

    The USB was missing and extensive scuffs visible on the open box item. Controller was rated "excellent", but should have been rated a "good." Great controller, but decided to buy a new one, which I would recommend. The "would not recommend this" is for the open box sale item experience.

    This controller works great. I love the ease of switching the paddles and DPAD. Yes, it's a little pricey, but if you save up some certificates, you could definitely bring the price down a bit. HIGHLY suggest the Geek Squad protection. It's worth it for a controller this pricey.

    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 controller has changed the playing field for my boyfriend when he plays Call of Duty. He is always talking about how it is so much easier to "fly" and aim/shoot now. He loves it, make navigating through the console so much easier - especially for me when I'm watching Netflix.

    Compare to the exclusive controls I purchase at gamestop. The Elite controller makes the rest put into shame. I have been playing with this controller better at the games I have been playing, better handling and the paddles are even more helpful depending on the settings you use them for.

    I found that this controller works best as paddle shifters for driving games as the paddles usually work as the X Y A B buttons unless you change the setup and is a little more difficult for shooters but it feels great overall with its shape and design.

    I have had the controller for about 3 weeks. The customization options (both hardware and software) are excellent and the controller feels premium. We will see if the build quality holds up over the long term. I did purchase the 2 year warranty with it.

    I have had this for about a year now and it is by far the best controller I have ever played with. I haven’t had anything break on me like I have read from other reviews. I would highly recommend this controller for anyone playing on the Xbox one consoles

    My son returned some items he got for Christmas to be able to get this controller. He likes the controller. He plays xbox a lot so I guess it is worth it to him, but it seams pricey for a controller. I guess with anything, premium equipment comes with a premium price, so if you are a major gamer, then I would say this is good to have.

    Amazing Controller

    The elite controller is wonderful! I had fun playing when I first got the system, but after getting this it's been a blast. With two dedicated customized layouts, it works beautifully to learn the controls of a game and customize the perfect layout for the paddles.

    I received this controller as a birthday gift, but I would have bought it for myself if that wasn't the case. I had an excellent feel and build quality. There is a lot of custimization with it, that does take some getting use to, but will help your game in the long run. Great product!
