    Not built to last

    The controller is great in the way that is entirely customizable but it falls flat in terms of material used. The grips on the back of the controller aren't very heat or sweat resistance after a few months they grips absorb sweat, begin to bubble up and stretch out of their place eventually falling off. Its a great controller otherwise but I recommend using gloves when using it or buying a silicone grip to put over the controller.

    I'm not a high profile gamer, but this controller is worth every penny. The solid build, the flexibility to change sticks, d-pads, and button mapping makes this device a must have. It's a premium device, for a premium price. Worth the purchase.

    Love this controller!!! Feels great in the hand, the paddles are easily removed and added when needed. Also nice to have multiple sticks to interchange for the height of the joysticks. Very responsive and overall worth the price tag.

      Hey Nick,

      Thanks for sharing your love for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. We're glad that you like how customizable it is -- once you use the paddles for greater finger control, it's hard to go back. Hope you get a lot of gaming goodness out of it.

      Happy gaming,

    Good controller. Very sturdy construction much deeper button mapping capabilities than console has. Paddles are great IF YOU DONT CLINCH YOUR CONTROLLER....BUT this is a microsoft controller and it doesnt last like the regular ones. Had to bring back for replacement after 13 mos. BUY THE GEEK SQUAD PROTECTION

    Awesome controller with many options. Takes a while to get use to the paddles and using fingers that have never been used before,but once tou get the hang of it it is a great controller. Also with the xbox app you can button map however you like

    I am a medical student with much less time to game than usual, and this controller is still worth it. It feels great and its fun to figure out the best button mapping for each game. While playing The Division, I jumped over cars into enemy fire way less.

    The only reason I give this a 4* is because of price. It's very expensive but the comfort and look are awesome. Not sure why it doesn't come with rechargeable batteries, considering the price, but I would recommend everyone wanting a new XBOX controller to invest in one of these.
