    The controller feels great and also feels like it's made from high quality materials. Switching out the joysticks and paddles is very easy.

    I love the controller and it is the only one I use. My only complaint is that the battery design is different and does not sit on my charger. Something to check if this is a problem for you.

    There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to this controller. Once you get the hang of it you'll not want to use the regular ones anymore.

    I had about a dozen standard xbox controllers last me less than 6 months so I finally bit the bullet and got an Elite. Sure enough, this one failed around the 6 month mark as well. Fortunately, after a couple bad controllers I spent the extra $5 for protection plan. Unfortunately, when this one broke BestBuy was out of stock nationally so I had to go back to standard controllers. Hopefully the Xbox One X controllers will be more stable.

    This controller would be 10/10 if it was built better. Bumpers fall off easy and get stuck all the time.

    Love the paddles and interchangeable sticks

    I suggest purchase new. The refurbished controllers seem to have flaws and require exchanging until you get one that works. I live and die by the paddles and have average size hands. Someone with larger hands may struggle with the paddles. Long term use even with careful handling will eventually break the controller sticks or buttons. Buy these on sale, the quality of the controllers does not justify full price.

    Overall this controller is very nice and makes gaming better. My one issue is that the rear paddles are a bit too sensitive and will engage with the slightest touch.
