    You honestly cannot beat this Elite gen Controller. It's so smooth in your hand and plays so well. Back paddles add for extra game functions without haveing to buy extra products.

    great controller. I mainly purchased to use with the oculus rift and vive as my xbone is collecting dust! I love the feel of it. it is heavy duty and control is precise. I hope PS4 makes a controller of this quality!

    No matter what game you play, this controller will make things run much smoother. Don't bother buying a scuf... please don't. You get a much better product and way more accessories for relatively the same price.

    Couldn't be happier a Blue Shirt helped me choose a high end comfortable XBOX headset that fit my needs. Wireless check, great battery check. I also purchased Geek Squad protection so if anything happens I am covered.

    Seemed a little expensive to me for a game controller. Was purchased as a gift so i cant say much about it first hand.. Was told it works great. They love it! and as the gift giver that is god enough for me.

    I spend a lot of time on my Xbox ONE, but also have a medical issue that has caused me to go through too many controllers. This controller changes that, and I will never go back!

    Way better than the $60 controllers. Worth the extra money for the durability aspect alone. I've bought 7, yes, 7 new controllers of the old ones. I now only use this and no issues thus far

    It's a wonderful piece of technology. It's a little confusing to set up the bottom triggers their way. After two months of use, the rubber grips began to bubble and pull back. Microsoft said it was a manufacturing error and gave me a new one, no questions asked.

    I do enjoy this controller even though the functions should have been on a regular controller. Old controllers used to have extended range, then they took it away to offer it as an "upgrade". Pretty shady Microsoft. Get paid though. Overall its a good controller.

    He was so happy when I gave it to him. He was wondering why it's so heavy and when he looked at it, he said that all he needed to see was the box and he already knew it was the controller he's been wanting. :)

    Fantastic hand feel and weight, fully customizable button, trigger, and sticks. Was flawless until recently (2 years everyday use) when the glue holding rhw rubber grips began to let go. Fixed it easily eough by removing and then reglueing them back on.

    I bought this for my fiancées birthday and he loves it! He has no complaints. When we play on COD, I see him floating in the air most of the times. He says it's comfortable and makes it easier to play.

    The controller is one of the best I have used in years, with more precision motion and back paddles to allow for better character control. The only problem is that the carrying case was missing.

    Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and it is definitely something to get used to. If you play xbox a lot you are really used to the buttons on the average controller. This one has a lot of extra features but once you get used to it, he says it is awesome.
