    Although most probably don't need to buy this, if you want to step up your game in fortnite or other fast paced games this is the way to do it. It will take some time to get used to it but once I did I could tell a difference.

    This is an overall great controller, but if you have a highly active gamer, I strongly suggest paying the extra for the protection plan. Anything that goes wrong with this controller, it is replaced with a brand new one.

    It’s customizable buttons are great. Durability is a big factor for online players. only one thing I’ve run into that is common problem with this remote controller the B button sticks once in a while. I believe it’s a manufactured defect. But I’m very satisfied with it.

    Great Controller, but be careful with open box

    The controller works great! Much more precise than the average xbox controller. The only problem was that I got this item as an open box and the circular d pad option was missing. Best Buy told me they are no longer carrying this item and couldn't replace the d pad. So be warned with open boxes!

    I love the trigger locks. It definitely improved my kills in cod, but the paddles I had to take off. I find I accidentally tend to hit them when I get in a fire fight which I will reload when I'm intended to shoot. To close to the grips.

    It's feels great in my hands. A little more weight than the stock one. Great trigger response with the trigger stoppers. Amazing comfort in the extra paddles. Awesome removable joy sticks. My performance has spiked. Would highly recommend

    Expensive, but my husband loves it. The buttons tend to stick and stop working a lot, but he doesn't see that as a deal breaker. For me it is because of the cost of the controller.

    I bought this controller as a total impulse buy, I thought it looked cool and could afford it at the time. I love it but it still is a bit noisy when it comes to button presses. All the accessories and available uses are great but I have found that I really dont use any of them other than the hair trigger options.

    This is a great controller For serious competitive players. I wouldn't recommend any competitive controller for beginners. It takes time to develop skills so buying a controller with the thought process of immediate results is a mistake

    Quality Issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For a $150 controller, I expected better. From the moment we unboxed it, the right stick has been loose. And now, less than a year old, the grips have started to fall off — apparently, they are just glued on and the glue wasn't made to last. Have also been having mic issues lately with outgoing comms on multiple mics, so assuming it's the controller at this point. They really need to do something about the quality issues and stand behind their product with more than a 90-day warranty. If you get this, get the Best Buy Add-On warranty.

    I was a little hesitant after hearing about reliability issues, but I haven't had any problems. I got this controller for the pedal buttons and they've been amazing. Very intuitive. I don't think I could go back to a regular controller!

    I bought this controller with the charge and play pack as a gift for the boyfriend and he loves it. I was kind of skeptical paying this much for a co trolley but it's really comfortable to hold as well as keeps a charge for long periods of time.

    I got one for myself and haven't taken the time to adapt to it, so i went back to my basic controller, but my son loves his and swears by it. So i guess this rearing is based more on my son's experience

    Idk why I didn't buy this controller sooner! The customizable buttons on the back make it easy to seamlessly press while moving the joysticks around. "B" button was a little stuck at times but other than that the controller is awesome.

    I loved the feel of this controller with one exception. The buttons on the under part of the controller were in my way when playing and made it uncomfortable to play without thinking I was going to accidentally break one. Otherwise, a pretty cool controller. Just wasn't for me.

      Hey there,

      We're glad to hear that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller for the most part. One great feature about the four paddles on the back of the controller is that they can be removed when not in use. So if you're not using them for a particular game, you can just take them off and store them for later. For more information on how to manage the components of your Elite controller, go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/elite-controller-info

      Hope that helps,

    The Xbox elite controller has stepped my game up in PubG dramatically. More precise aiming thanks to the taller thimbsticks and holding your breath is easier with the back paddles. Totally worth it if your into pubG.
