    The elite controller is totally awesome. The additional paddles on the back of the controller make what felt like impossible motions in the game feel totally normal. So happy with the purchase

    This is one of my best accessories ever. It's pretty easy to configure, and it allows for fine tuning to fit your hands. The trigger stop adjustments can give you an edge in some games too!

    This controller is worth the price. Had issues from day one with my original controller staying connected because of the sensor. They have update the sensor in Elite and I no longer an issue.

    This controller is a fantastic piece of kit. Now, you can aim, shoot, and revive all at the same time. No more standing there helplessely while you hold X with your thumb off the right stick.

    Awesome controller It is hard to use the original after using the elite. Wish it was more durable. I had to buy a new one. Highly suggest buying the warranty. You will use it Well worth it unless you have another $150 to burn.

    I love my elite controller. Very smooth and precise. Love the metal parts. Option for LB & RB paddles underneath brings a whole new level of control to games like gtaV and elite dangerous.

    I love using the elite controller for comfort and convenience, but don't feel a competitive edge for doing so. It is nice for say, Overwatch to have all the face buttons on the back paddles as you're right thumb can always be looking around.

    Great controller for someone that plays online frequently the only problem I ran into is that this controller is very fragel and can break easily if dropped so this is something to keep special care of other than that best controller ever made from xbox

    excellent controller for anyone serious about gaming. paddles are placed perfectly and the different heights for the thumbsticks allow you to have better control for the type of game you are playing

    no really... it is. Get it. The body is solid but light, the buttons are very easy to customize. Grip design make it hard for your hands to get sweaty even after hours of non-stop fifa action.

    Feels great. Once you use it you will not want a regular controller again....but with that, mine broke after 7 months of normal use. Do yourself a favor and get Best Buy warranty if you purchase.

    Hands down the best controller you could buy for the Xbox One X. Button customization is perfect whether it is a racing, fighting, first and third person games.

    Great controller very nice and well made. Occasionally things happen to it and they are expensive to replace or Re buy so I suggest getting a warranty to protect your investment

    I loved this controller. I was coming from a scuff controller so it was a learning curve for the back buttons being in a different location and being a lot more sensitive. After a year of use the sticks would start to drift. I bought the warranty through Best Buy. I tried to exchange controller out but they were always out of stock. I got my money back. I’m back to the scuff controller now. When the elite 2 get the bugs fixed I’ll probably will get it.

    I was a little nervous that the controller wouldnt be worth the price. However, the construction is so sturdy that my xbox one s controller feels like a fragile toy after using the elite. I love that all the removable parts are magnetic.

    I really like this controller a lot, very fine control and lots of customization options. The only thing that is missing is that it comes with standard AA batteries instead of rechargeable ones.
