    picked this up during recent best buy deal. this is a great, fully customizable controller. good weight to it. will take some getting used to with all the new buttons, but you can remove them if desired. xbox app let's you assign buttons as desired. only downside is the price.

    Finally this controller was in stock and I do not regret this purchase. First and foremost, the controller feels elite in my hands. For anyone looking for an edge competitively, this gives you so much customization. I primarily use this controller for Apex Legends and I have seen massive improvement on my gameplay. The most difficult part is getting used to having triggers on the back of the controller. You’ll find yourself accidentally pressing them unless you hold the controller precisely. The setup was really easy and great case to keep your accessories. I can’t wait to use this controller for other games. Price is high but I believe it’s worth it to the right buyer.

    The controller feels awesome one you have your hands around it. It comes with the 3.5 auxiliary input and a long sync cord. I like how you can exchange your own batteries unlike the ps4 remotes which once the battery dies you are screwed. The matt finish is nice so you wont get scratches. The grip is also nice so controller doesnt slip out of your hands.

    Well that's what I thought at first. But I have used two sets of battery's in it to beat the first game in less than 48 hours. You can't just program the new buttons but to certain functions that already exist. of the abxy keys or the bottom thumb pad (d-pad) so it doesn't help me to run faster and or punch the earth feature that is hard to activate when playing. Also you can't just set it down the paddles start triggering different things.

    Must have accessory if you play your Xbox any amount of time at all if you have the spare capital. Was on the fence but can't play with a regular controller now. I don't even use the paddles yet, but after 50 hours of use the build quality superiority is enough of a reason to own.

    Great controller, bad warranty

    I love this controller. It is everything you would expect from a $150 piece of equipment. It is built very well and feels like it will last me a long time. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is due to a 90 day warranty though Microsoft. I understand you can get the 2 year warranty through best buy, which i recommend, but for 150$, i would think the manufacture would put a longer warranty on this product.

    I've owned many controllers in my years as a gamer and I can honestly say this is the best I've used. It has a steep price tag yes but it's well worth the money spent. It feels solid and weighty in your hands and doesn't feel cheap at all. The customization and features are a must have for hardcore gamers and shooter players alike. You have complete control mapping the controller to your liking so gone are the days of relying on the in game control schemes!!!! Also everything on the controller that can be swapped out are magnetized so it's super easy to use. I now own two of these bad boys and am loving them!!!

    I read a lot of reviews about the xbox one elite controller and had to try it out. Very impressed with this item. I had to get two so friends wont say I have unfair advantage when I play them.

    This Controller is awesome, heavier than your normal Xbox One Controllers, my only gripe is that it doesn't have Bluetooth functionality like the new model S controllers. Love that I can swap out the Sticks and dPad, I use the bottom buttons for stick down functions. Very hard to go back to playing with other controllers.

    For the longest time I didnt think this controller was worth the money but Im absolutely happy I bought one. Has a carrying case and u can easily change out the analog sticks. Also you can customize the extra 4 triggers on the back. Feels great and seems durable. A regular controller feels weird now after using this beast

    So I have never bought a high end accessory before but the Elite Controller is incredible. It feels durable - sure it costs the price of 2 normal controllers but I imagine it will last a lot longer than my previous controller. Alsobeing able to customize everything if you want - and the different joy sticks are a great addition for shooters and stuff

    Best Controller Ever

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I can't say enough positive things about this controller. Anything you've ever found missing or wrong with other controllers is fixed here. It is completely programmable in every way. You can make any button do the job of any other button. Even the sticks are swappable for left-handers. The price is steep, but if you want a fully programmable controller that's built to last and perform, if you're a left-hander who wants to play a game that doesn't offer a southpaw controller layout, this is the controller for you. I've literally waited over a decade for a controller like this to be available.

    Although I had to return the first elite controller I bought from Best Buy I love it. The first one had some button sticking issues. They returned it no problem but had to wait several weeks for Best Buy to get a new one in stock. Definitely improved my gaming skills especially in call of duty. All of my friends have one now. Great controller.

    First, its very expensive, but if you are willing to fork up the money and are a heavy gamer its worth the price. This is the holy grail of controllers. Everything works like it should and it will amplify your gaming experience if you can adapt to the paddles on the back (removable).

    This controller is great got a deal when you trade in existing controller you save $50 glad I did. The triggers took a little getting used to but when you do you will never look back.comes with it’s own carrying case which makes it nice when you are done using it.feels great. Noticed a huge difference when playing FPS

    It is a great controller and the buttons underneath are convenient to use. It is slightly over priced as well as the custom pieces are a pain if you lose them. Overall the weight of the controller is nicer and would totally recommend.

    Controller is best suited for games requiring quick reaction; Call of Duty, Tom Clancy games, & Dying Light to use as examples. Highly recommend & recommend buying warranty just in case, since it costs more than the typical controller. You can't go wrong with this one!!
