Perhaps the best controller ever made...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is perhaps the best controller ever made, but at a price. The triggers on the back are great for competitive FPSs online, as you can jump and reload without having to take your thumbs off the control sticks. Also great that it works with loads of PC games, but the fact that it does not work wirelessly on PC, and is so expensive, keep it from being a 5 star product for me. That being said, everything about it is quality and no regrets on my part.

Must have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It feels really solid and the thumbsticks are night and day compared to the original xbox one controller. The feel much more precise. Everything about this controler is high quality and well worth the price

Nice Controller, But A Little Hard To Get Used To
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have mixed feelings about this controller. I love the ability to swap out the D-pad and the thumbsticks and the way you can customize the sensitivity, button layout, and vibration. What I don't like is the paddles that can be added to the back of the controller. I think they are something that you have to get used to, but it was more distracting with them attached than I thought it would be. Without them attached, the controller feels really nice to hold and seems to be a high quality product. I would still recommend this to friends because of the customization it allows, but the paddles on the back were not as nice as I was expecting. I would probably give it a 3.75/5 stars, but that is not an option, so I gave it 3/5 stars.

Expensive, but worth it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are a PC Gamer, this is the controller for you! It's expensive, but you get what you pay for - In this case, it's build quality. You may read other reviews about people complaining about things falling apart, but I've yet to experience any issues. I love the fact it's configurable with removable triggers that I may not need for each game I play. Buy it!

Great Controller!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's really good, only thing it isn't Bluetooth compatible to my pc unless you get the wireless adapter for the controller! But well worth for the price if you need a new handy controller!

Worth the money!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this with my X when it had a $50 discount. It is definitely worth the full price tag and I had my eye on it for a while. The customization you can do is amazing. It truly is Elite!

A Controller for Elite Members?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll just jump right in and say its a controller with side grips for your palms and interchangeable joysticks. Having been use the standard controllers, the most noticeable thing was how fast the thumbsticks would grind the neck away nearly chopping it down like a tree. Does the elite controller suffer from the same issue you ask? No, not that I have noticed as the necks are made from a metal instead of plastic. However, I have friends that also purchased the elite controller only to have it break on them in ludicrous ways. One having the grey rubber grip on the bottom start peeling off the controller. The other had their right and left plastic bumpers completely fall off the controller; they were highly annoyed with its function thereafter. Could these just be a bad few in a batch? Sure. But only time will tell. Have you witnessed the joystick grind? Do you wish the Xbox had thumbsticks like that of that PlayStation's controller? Do your hands have trouble gripping or sliding off the controller? Maybe you prefer to utilize the fingers sitting idle underneath the battery compartment? Do you play racing games in manual but don't have a racing wheel? The elite controller can fix many of these issues for you! but is it worth $150? Probably not. $80-100; absolutely! I cannot surely say I do or do not recommend this controller as everyone has to take into account the amount of money they have to fork out for such a controller. It doesn't magically make you better at any games, though it can have advantages in response time if you map your paddles right. It's a luxury in the end, not a necessity.

Awesome asset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the heft of the controller. It has a very tactile feel that keeps your hands from slipping as well. I only use two of the paddles, but love how quick it makes my jump and melee. Great product

Great for competitive gamers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I play a lot of games between my Xbox One and PC so I wanted a good quality controller that would last all of the hours I put in. I love all of the interchangeable options because you can customize the controller for the game you're playing. I also love the matte rubbery material on the outside of the controller that Microsoft did not use on their standard controllers. Awesome buy for us Microsoft fans :)

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Currently one of the better controllers on the market for Xbox one. There is no going back to regular controllers after prolonged use with this one. Would recommend to anyone trying to get that extra edge while playing online. The only issue is it does tend to wear down from use ie. loosened grips, shaky thumbsticks, bumper wear. Would 100% highly recommend the protection plan for this unit.

The best XBOX controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best XBOX controller out there. The forma and feel of the controller scream elite quality. Through the XBOX Accessories app it allows for greater customization than the stock XBOX controller, which is great. You can adjust analog response curves, button mapping(including to the extra paddles on the bottom of the controller), and allows for easy push of a button custom control profile changes.

Great option for a better than stock controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as I wasn’t super happy with the stock Xbox one controller. Immediately notice the weight of the controller. It feels like it has some quality to it and not just cheap plastic. Like the adjustable throw on the triggers. And the bumpers have a much better feel to them. Also has a mic jack built in for my A50’s so an adapter is no longer needed. It’s not a cheap replacement for sure but well worth it in my opinion.
