    I finally got the opportunity to pick up this controller. I usually dont have controller issues, but i had purchased one of the latest ones made the blue one and even had the Dusk colored one. However they both did not feel really well put together as previous controllers, perhaps its just me but thats my take on it. Felt like it wanted to break in my hands. Anyway a friend was telling me that the ELITE doesnt feel that way at all and well here i am writing this review. Before i even put the battery in and picked it up out of its carry case, i immediately felt the difference in weight and stability. Happy customer put to ease. Playing games have felt even better too. Im still tinkering with remapping and the pedals underneath but the possibilities with certain games i think will be gr8... so if anything changes ill update this. Thx

    The paddles make for a great addition, allowing me to simulate clicking the thumbstick while moving it, without worry about affecting the movement. Being able to map those paddles to different buttons, in different configurations is nice too.

    Best Controller I've Ever Used

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As a long time gamer, and owner of every current major console, this is the best controller I've used. I rarely swap out the analog sticks or D-Pad, but the paddles on the underside really make this controller an excellent choice for any game that you wish had a little extra customization. I primarily use this with my PC when I want to play games on the big screen from the comfort of my couch. While I'm a big fan of the PS4 controller for most action games that require the use of the face buttons, the Elite is just better in every other way. A controller is the one thing that you'll use for every game you play, so if you have the money, this is worth it. I've had mine for 17 months and it's been flawless. Just don't throw it during a tantrum, and it will hold up well.

    I have had this controller for about a 2 months and I love using it. It has good response times and the level of customization it has is truly a revolutionary idea. The only cons I have for this controller is the price and if I am going to he paying this much it should have come with a rechargeable battery

    Good solid build on the controller in comparison to the standard ones. The triggers and joy sticks are awesome, they are metal with magnets so they stay on. It comes with a case, which I nice to keep in mint condition. Overall, good buy for daily gamers. 4 stars due to the price for a gaming controller.

    This controller is a pretty incredibly engineered product. The metal joysticks give a sturdy feel, which feels much better than the plastic sticks of a default controller. The paddles on the back are easy to press, and has allowed my game movement to make huge leaps forward. Overall this is an amazing controller, however I do have one complaint. Within 1 month of originally purchasing the controlled, the left bumper broke and caved in. When reading reviews for the elite controller, many people had complained of this same problem. Best Buy promptly exchanged my broken elite for a brand new one which I was very grateful for. I would absolutely recommend this controller, even knowing that it has potential hardware issues. If you do purchase the controller however, it is entirely necessary to purchase the 2-year geek squad protection plan.
