    The controller xbox one should have come with!!!!

    Everything from the grip, the wgt, the bumpers, D-pad is quality on this controller. When you add in the fact that you can customize the thumbsticks, D-pad it only sweetens this controller. Not to mention that it comes with 3.5mm jack at the bottom so you don't even need that stupid xbox one adapter for gaming headsets!!! This controller is worth every penny and if you can get it on sale then it's a steal!

    Great controller

    This controller is amazing. I hated how the xbox one controller felt in my hands. It was too light, it felt really small, and didn't like the thumbsticks. Man is this a huge improvement. The elite controller feels so much better, its a little heavier and the grips on the back make it feel so much better in your hands. Swapping out the normal thumbsticks for the more rounded one makes this controller perfect.

    Completely different feel from the standard Xbox One controller...much better grip and quality. Overall very satisfied. Per recommendations from other Reviews, i did purchase the extended protection plan from Best Buy for only $20. We'll see how it holds up!

    The paddles take some getting used to. I've unmapped the face buttons to force myself to get accustom to the paddles. This controller feels so good. It's by far the best controller for the Xbox one or the PC. Great build quality. I most definitely recommend.

    The controller is weighted more than the normal Xbox controller which makes handling nicer. Thumbsticks are more responsive and comfortable due to being able to switch them out. Customization is great and helpful. Overall, a must buy if you are looking at it.

    The Real Deal

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

    For those wanting a fully customization controller with pad swap out and extra buttons, this is it. Feels much better in hand, more comfortable, and comes with a higher quality micro usb charge cable for packs. I have used it, not those writing reviews without actually owning one. Its worth the investment!

    Amazing controller

    As being my second control it came out as an amazing deal. Customize your control with the button mapping options and as well with exclusive triggers and extra add ons. This control is great when you want a little extra on your game experience

    Best controller out. Still not worth $150

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

    This controller is great and by far the best controller available. Its built well and preforms great. But is it worth the $150 price tag? Absolutely not in my opinion. Since it has no real competition I was forced to shell out the $150 although I really think its worth a solid $100.

    The price may have you put off but this controller feel great. The customizable options are nice. I like the additional paddle buttons that you can assign and the grip on the handles. A solid controller all around.

    priced too high, small glitch

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

    The only problem I have is when im playing Battlefield 4. Keep in mind, having the remote set on sensitive for quick trigger. When I use either a shot gun or pistol which requires pressing the trigger repetively it doesnt shoot everytime I press the trigger. It shoots about every three times. Horrible when going for a quick kill. When using an assault rifle its fine but then comes the time when I have to transition.

    Know what you’re buying!

    This product is INCREDIBLE. I have played video games most of my life and have never come close to enjoying a controller so much. But as with all things that are expensive, BE READY TO TAKE CARE OF IT. Elite controllers have issues with the LB/RB buttons coming off, something many reviewers seem to treat as the death of the controller. A quick google search will show you that it takes about 5 dollars and 5 minutes to fix it completely on your own. This controller is AWESOME and is definitely worth the money, just YouTube the process and make sure you’re comfortable opening this controller up for minor repairs rarely and you’ll be satisfied!

    Have used many different controllers over the years and this one is by far the best. The weight, feel and design are perfect. While this one should last quite some time, makes you wonder what's to come.

    Amazing, Sturdy Controller

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

    I have been using the Xbox One Elite controller for over the past 4 months, and while I was a bit skeptical at first due to the high price, I can confidently say that the purchase was worth every penny. The controller grips are of very high quality, the interchangeable analog sticks and d-pad stay on nicely, and the paddles add more leverage and control to intense, fast paced games like Call of Duty and Dark Souls III. It's an absolute pleasure to use this controller and I look forward to more customization options in the future (fingers crossed!)

    Sturdy controller

    This controller is great for the extra buttons, but the best feature is the strong build of the controller. It's twice as heavy as a normal controller with metal thumbsticks and d-pad.

    Great Controller for FPS

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

    Bought this controller about 3 weeks ago. And let me tell you, i don't know why i didn't buy it earlier. It makes gaming so much better and the controller feel is phenomenal. I have to admit, at first the controller takes some getting used to. I died a lot for example in COD BO3 for the first 10 games because the controller and the extra buttons felt foreign to me. But after i got the hang of it. I was playing godlike. I would recommend this controller to anyone. A little pricey but definitely worth it if you're looking for that edge against the other players.

    Buyer Beware - Please Read Before Purchase!

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

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Purchase Best Buy's extended warranty. Microsoft's warranty is only 3 months. My controller's analog broke after only 110 days of usage, and after pouring through Microsoft's forum pages and speaking to a rep, I found that it needs to be replaced. But I didn't realize the warranty was so short. So I must repurchase. Do not make the same mistake as me, it's worth the extra $20 on something you are already paying too much for. As for my review: PROS * Best Xbox controller I've played with. Very solid feeling and the grips are fantastic. * Button Replacements. I haven't had to yet, but if your thumbsticks wear out, replace them with the extra backup set the controller comes with. * Button mapping rocks. CONS * The Hair Trigger sounds great in theory. Trigger buttons are analog, which means they can input 0% (not pressed) to 100% (pressed). Trigger locks only register around 70%. However, that's not 100% and some game functions don't register it as a "press" at that position. I can't fire some guns in Battlefield 4 with the hair locks on. * The paddle buttons (on the back) are the main reason I bought the controller. They do exactly what they say they do, which is awesome. What is not awesome, is that it's super easy to hit each one of those. You can't wrap your fingers all the way around the controller, you have to hold it very dainty-like. That's not my style, so I ended up not using them. I tried, but I play games competitively and accidental button press are no good. * Durability? I'm VERY careful with my high dollar toys, though I am a bit passionate when pressing buttons and moving the analog stick. As far as I'm concerned, the analog sticks didn't handle "normal usage" of a hard core gamer. * 3 Month Warranty. Just pay $20 extra bucks for extended warranty. If anything, it's worth the piece of mind. * Way too expensive. However, it's a very solid and awesome controller. Would I have bought it again, knowing what I know now? Yes. I know I detailed the cons more than pros, but that's only because it's an extension of the controller's product description above. It does everything it says it does, and that's awesome. Just be aware of the usability and restrictions of those features.
