    This is an awesome controller. It takes some getting used to at first, but after using it a few days I got used to it. The changeable paddles and button mapping allow you to adjust it to your play style. I love the travel case, it holds all of the attachments! This is compatible with the play and charge kit. The stainless steel attachments will last many hours of gaming.

    Very hard to find. The feel and weight of the controller is perfect for gaming. X button is less sensitive which is can be good or bad.. The button assignment is a little tedious. Over all great purchase.

    This control looks and feels much more premium and higher quality than the original Xbox controllers. The paddles are great for remapping to certain buttons. Comes with a nice extended charge cable so if you are far away from your console you can play wired. I use it for PC so I don’t need the extra length but it’s great!

    This may be the best quality controller one can buy. It does take getting use to but its quality is premium. It certainly is not cheap though. But for hardcore gamera or enthusiasts its a good investment

    So far I love this thing. The weight and balance are just about perfect. My only grip is that I wish there was a rechargeable battery included. I don't see any quality issues that others have mentioned.

    The paddles on the back of the controller take a few hours of play to get used to, but distribute the strain to alternative digits during extended use.

    This controller is perfect for gamers. It's smooth and it has a great grasp to it. The extra paddles on the back also give me the benefit to do more when im playing games, more than I ever do with the regular Xbox controllers. It does take a while to get used to, but once you learned how to master the paddles, you start to feel your gaming is more control.

    Overall A Great Feeling Controller

    I've had the Elite controller for about a month now and I play with it probably 4-5 times a week for at least 3-4 hours each time. I will say firstly that it was easy to set up on the xbox, came with a quality usb cord for hard linking it to your xbox if thats your thing, and came in a very nice quality case. The build quality is probably it's best feature for me. I've been pretty frustrated with the generic xbox controllers breaking on me. I must be pretty hard on them. I don't slam them in rage or anything but have big hands and it seems the generic controllers cant handle it. This feels really good in the hand and appears to me that it will hold up for some time. If it doesn't I did wise up and purchased the insurance for it. Being 165 dollars I thought it was needed. I haven't enjoyed the paddles though. I don't like the way the lower bigger paddles tend to get pushed out with my fingers. Maybe I should just commit more to learning how to play with them. But I do feel more comfortable using to two upper smaller paddles durning game play with games like fortnite and bo4. I assigned jump (A) and edit (B) for faster game play.

    Really like the taller thumb sticks for more control along with the paddles on the back for extra convenience. Worth the extra $$ imo.

    Just can't say enough about this controller, it's truly incredible. The weight feels perfect, you can easily change the layout, and it has superior build quality. All that said, the only minor thing I can say, is it would be nice to have a little more customization on the back paddles. Just takes a little to get used to the ones included, lol, probably just me
