    It's what Microsoft should have done to start. The weight of the controller is perfect and the response is amazing.

    This controller is simply the best. The construction, customization options for the sticks and triggers, the paddles, the case. If you put time into games this controller is well worth the price tag. The xbox controllers are considered among the best in all of gaming, and this one perfects that model.

    I game about 3-4 hours a day, and the only controller I use now is my Elite controller. I love the removable thumbsticks and customizable buttons. My K/D on CoD and other FPS games has doubled. Only negative is it is expensive, but it is much more well built and durable as well. Definitely an amazing product,

    This controller is second to none. I get chided all the time by my online gaming friends, "YOUUU spent $150.00 on a friggen controller?" Well... yes I did as a suggestion from a Best Buy employee who games a lot. I was having trouble keeping up with other gamers in the crucible on Destiny and wondered how they do things so quickly. Some of them are cheating.. but some have this controller. It has switches that allow you depress the button only half way when other regular Xbox one controllers you have to depress the button another 1/2 inch... therefore you are at a disadvantage already. This is my second controller just in case my other one breaks down (yup I have Geek Squad Protection) and have to get it fixed. I am more than completely happy with this controller as I game about 6-8 hours a day minimum. You will not be disappointed as soon as you learn how to use the extra paddles... which has a high learning curve. Add one at a time until you have all of the paddles working that you want and can handle. Hope that this helps.

    Got this for my brother as a gift and he loves it. I use PS4 and after holding this and using it on his Xbox i wish playstation had something similar. The feel, weight and buttons are just high quality, it feels like a tool in your hand. Very comfortable and the gameplay response is great too.

    It has a good weight to it and using was nice and easy. The extra paddles on bottom should be standard on controllers next generation. Only problem...the right stick broke, in less than 2 months of medium use. Only actually used it for certain games so the bad warranty only lasts 6 months btw. So buy the geek squad one you want regret it.

    I brought this controller for my sons birthday, he loves it. 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. The batteries do run out quickly.

    Solid build quality, we will see how the paddles hold up but overall feels good and work flawlessly with the Xbox. I have owned and used third-party products similar to this and in some cases more expensive and the elite is superior in build, feel, and customization.

    Great feeling and versatile controller. Extremely solid, great buttons, and even comes with a case. Great for every day gaming if your looking for some more solid and substantial feeling compared to a normal controller.
