    This controller will feel weird at first, but for racing games and shooting games it is well worth it. You won't be able to go back. Buy it on sale if you can

    Makes the buttons that can be hard to toggle during gameplay easy. Can adjust size of thumb sticks also. Also can be a normal controller if wanted.

    I love the controller, used it for 2 years and it has no functionality issues. The left grip is starting to peel but other than that perfect!

    Highly recommend if you like to change up control settings over the basic controller. The adjustable sticks and customizable D-pad are great

    Four extra control points makes a world of difference. No more fat-fingering to get a double button command to work...just set up the combo on one of the extra controls.

    This is my son's second controller. The first one lasted almost two years I think. He paid half for this one so I can't complain. He loves it.

    Bought this controller for my son as an open item. It was discounted. He loves it. All the parts were there and you would never know that it was an open item.

    The setups for the controller are great with a lot of customization. The weight is on the heavy side compared to the stock controller. Personally I would not buy this controller again for the simple reason that I had to send it back 2 times to Microsoft, once for Stick drift and the other was for the right trigger bumper stop. If you decide to purchase it get a warranty threw Best Buy or wait until the new one comes out in Nov 2019

    Been on the fence about buying this controller for months. Jumped at the first discount and have no regrets. Buy the 2 year protection to protect your investment!

    This is my second elite controller as my son took over the original. So far it seems much better suited for online gaming than the regular controller. Sturdiness may be an issue over time.

    Seems like the silver tab controllers when untouched make your game while watching it start to "float and move". Your game does not stand still.

    Hefty controller with solid rubber sides and a matte textured shell. If you like to grip your controller to much and/or are careless, get a warranty

    Controller works well, I used it mostly for PUBG, having the extra paddles is great. A lot of versatility. Got the warranty just in case though.
