The feel of the elite controller, as compared to the standard Xbox controller, is superior. The heavier weight and rubberized grips greatly improve the gaming experience. The optional control sticks and levers give you a customized gaming experience that will improve your performance for all games.

This thing is awesome, can’t go back to the stock controller. A little pricy but well worth it.

I had some extra reward zone points and so I splurged on this. the controller is comfortable just like any other xbox controller for the most part, with the ability to swap out certain parts. I've since found that I tend to grip the right side of the controller very hard when driving. This causes me to take two of the new inputs off, but I can retain the other two, so it works well. I'm sad that I cannot map all new functions to the new inputs, particularly in my PC. I was hoping to be able to assign these new functions all together instead of duplicating existing inputs. This makes sense on xbox, but PC has several things that would greatly improve if this was possible. I haven't yet looked for third party apps, or maybe km missing something but this was a huge draw for me and didn't quite pan out. Without that function it basically operates as a standard controller with short trigger pulls. One other major drawback was that it didn't come with a charger pack, only AA batteries. I'm buying a $150 controller, it better have all the bells and whistles, this didn't. 4 stars because I should have done better research. Would give it 3.5 if I could.

This is by far the best xbox one controller out in the market. With so many different options when it comes to pro controllers, it took a lot of researching to make a decision on which to purchase. This has everything you need. The matte silicon fish has a great feel and holds a grip well and the metal buttons give it a real strong and sturdy mass. If you were on the fence like I was when buying a controller do yourself a favor and go for the Elite.

Better than a Scuf

I have had a Scuf controller for about a year and half that I love. I liked the look and custom-ability of the Elite so I gave it a try. I have to say the layout of the levers on the back is much better than the Scuf and the Elite controller was half the cost . If you are not playing with a controller with paddles on the back you are playing at a disadvantage. They take a little while to get use to but they are worth it. Buy one and give it a try.

I bought this to use with my PC and my Xbox one, it currently works flawlessly with both. you will need to get the wireless adapter for PC in order to use it. I will say that it is the best feeling controller that I have used. The weight of the controller makes it feel good in your hand but not too heavy. It just has an overall great quality fell to it. Would recommend to anyone that spends a lot of time playing games on PC or Xbox one.

After purchasing my Elite online, I was able to quickly pick it up in store. I was prompted with not only friendly but knowledgeable employees who take pride in Microsoft's "high-end" products. Due to the producers negligence to the product material quality can be improved immensely. Unless you want to deal with analog stick drift and slow turn for the remainder of the controllers life then by all means spend your money on it. However if you want the very best controller, it is best to create your own Elite hybrid for which deconstruction of the controller can be found on video sharing websites.
Overall, the controller has a heavier feel to the standard controllers, rear rubber grips are comfortable for long hours of gaming, the paddles are very sturdy and are ergonomically located to provide the user with the highest potential of performance. Furthermore, the user is accompanied by easy to navigate customization interface that which can match and aid to your own individual play style(s) to enhance your gaming experience.
Recommended to several friends and have bought the Elite Controller as a gift to make my friends feel better about losing to me. Be sure to take adequate care of your $150 controller. :D

Very well put together, it has the kind of weight you will expect of a premium controller. It doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. The customization is great and it worked right out the box with the wireless adapter.

I was very reluctant to make this purchase. I kept asking myself.. why do I need a $150 controller the one it came with is just fine.
I finally bit the bullet and got it. I am glad that I did.
First thing I noticed is the weight, this controller feels like your holding something substantial. I always thought the stock controllers were a little on the light side.
Second, the customization, you get 3 different styles of thumb sticks. 1 tall concave, one standard concave, and one standard convex. I personally don't like the convex ones, but depending on what I'm playing I will switch out the concave ones.
The extra paddle buttons and the trigger switches are nice too. I originally thought the paddles would act as extra buttons, but that is not the case. they simply act as any other button you have on the controller but you can chose to rebind them as well as all the other buttons to your liking.
Overall I'm definitely a good investment for your gaming set up.

Solid construction, made from good materials, and intelligent design. Programmable button mappings to top it off. The new added buttons underneath the controller are easy to use and adjust to. I simply love them.
I've tried a lot of controllers. I've also modded a lot of controllers myself. In fact, I got rid of my modding workbench because Im just so satisfied with this controller. Wish I could use this on my wii, lol.

The weight of the controller, combined with the ability to switch joysticks or the use of paddles for hotkeys and feel of it make it the best way to play Xbox and PC Games. A little pricey but if you are a serious gamer definitely worth it.

My first Elite controller. Seems to be built extremely well and the customizations are on point. I don't know why I held out so long on purchasing one of these. The only downside I can think of is the price. But quality costs money so....
