    I got this as a gift. Wouldn't have never purchased this just to play but thought it might be worth it since I play a lot of halo. It has its own case and charge cord but didn't have a battery pack with it. The look and the weight are nice and it really feels sturdy. It took me about a month to get use to the paddles and configurations you can do but I really like it. I think it's a little over priced though but it seems to be made well.

    Best controller I have ever owned!!! Works great on xbone and pc w/ wireless adapter. I mainly use it in stock trim right out of the box. Programming features are great to fine tune your play style. Only con is the hefty price tag. I have had it for half a year w/ great experience. hoping to get 5 or more years out of this great controller.

    The paddles take some time to get used to. Once you do makes gaming so much easier. FPS games trigger configured are awesome.

    I go through about one controller a year. I was against the idea of spending this much, thinking the sticks would probably start drifting, or some other issue will occur in about the same amount of use. Then I will have just spent more than double for the luxury model, that died just as quickly. After reading about these online, the best of all worlds was suggested. Just go to Best Buy and get the protection. Then, if it breaks, take it back. So, I should get two years of use. Yay!!! The controller is nice. I tried the rear buttons. I can see how it would be very useful, being able to shoot, slide, and jump, without having to take your thumbs off of the sticks. Ultimately, I decided it wasn't worth it to take the time to get used to them. But, even without using any of the extra buttons or features, this controller is sweet. The aim sensitivity was slightly different/weird for a day or two. After that, all good. I could do without the rubber grips, but they are fine. The weight, smoothness, and overall quality makes it great. I would highly recommend for those who want an upgrade, and can afford it. And, I feel pretty good about getting the protection plan, which is something I rarely do.

    I took the plunge on a XBox One and chose to spring for the Elite Controller as well. Very high quality right out of the box. Feels great in my hands although the paddles took some getting used to. There are more adjustments and customizations available for this controller than I will use and it's nice to know I can set it up just how I'd like. Overall I'd say this is an excellent piece of gaming equipment at a premium price.

    This controller is extremely comfortable and fits hands perfectly. I never thought you customize a controller this much before, everything from full button mapping, disabling buttons, trigger hair, adjusting the vibrations in each corner of the controller, length of analogs, and not to mention the addition of the paddles which feel very natural.

    This controller is great. The button mapping and sensitivity options allow for seemingly unlimited customization. The replacement sticks and paddles make just enough of a positive difference in comfort and control that makes it worthwhile. The trigger locks are my favorite feature, especially for FPS games.

    When you first pick this controller up in your hands, you're immediately impressed by the heft and solid feel of this well made accessory. Add that to all the unique individual settings you can configure for your own personal choice and you have a well thought out piece of equipment. Well worth the price. Great for first person shooters.

    Purchased this joystick for my online racing games. The interchangeable buttons and shift keys on the bottom of the joystick are fantastic. Joystick is solid and has a good weight - I don't really like light controllers. Super durable. I recommend this to any serious games. Also, the lighting of the joystick is an added plus. Looks cool.

    I really love this controller. It has a great grip to it and the extra paddle buttons are fun to use. They take some getting used to, but they’re great. I have a rechargeable battery pack from Best Buy so the battery cover barely fits over it. Aside from that, it’s a great looking and feeling controller.
