    The Xbox Elite Controller is far superior to the standard controller. What I like about the controller is that you can customize it to your preference. It just has a quality build to it.

    Heavier controller than the standard Xbox one controllers. Grips under each hand are nice and I enjoy adding one set of paddles under the controller, as a replacement for my stick buttons. I do not like the cheap plastics for the trigger and bumper buttons, though.

    I love it for all reasons, It really seems to be a more solid controller than any regular controller that you can buy. Exchangeable parts, you can control many aspects of the controller; button layout, sensitivity on many levels not just increase or decrease sensitivity. We bought a 2nd one for my son because he keeps wearing out the controller buttons and after the 2nd normal controller we bought our worth anyways. I also suggest getting the 2 year warranty. I feel like the buttons are still succesptable to wearing out, but have not yet. I do not know what they use under the buttons exactly so maybe it will never break. My other controllers broke well before the time of having them compared to this one.

    First off, I absolutely love the weight of this controller. It lays in my hand perfectly. The extra paddles on the back of the controller are another great feature, but take some getting use to.

    Best Xbox controller I’ve ever used. One of the only controller that doesn’t have them stuck drift after a couple months of use. Feels great and built well, I would buy again for sure.

    Yes, I was one of those people who could not see myself buying a console controller for $149.99. So when it went on sale for $134.99 and reading the good reviews, I thought why not try it. I have to say that I'm glad I did! This controller is very responsible and you really feel the difference from the standard controller. It totally enhances the game play for many games especially with "Forza Motorsport 6". You really feel & have more control of the cars! With the interchangeable paddles, additional D-Pad attachment and additional thumbsticks of different shapes & sizes, you can't go wrong with this controller. This is truly an "All in One" Controller! I would definitely buy this controller (again) even at the regular price.

    I was very skeptical before purchasing, but I couldn't find a single bad review of this controller. In fact they were sold out for so long that I had practically forgotten about them. Then I happenen to encounter one in store and picked it up, still not believing that it could wind up being worth the money, but loving the aesthetic and the idea of a high quality first party controller. The short story is: This is the single best control I have ever owned. The build quality is phenomenal. Every detail of it seems practically perfect. Is it worth the money, well considering that the only thing I've ever worn out on other controlers were the stick surfaces and these are replaceable with a far greater build quality and feel I'd say yes.

    This controller is amazing. Feels great in the hands, looks awesome with the two tone colors. Doesn't need the colored letters on the buttons like the original controller but that's part of its great look. Customization is such a big part of this controller. Once you take it out of the box, try multiple different customization options for different games. Be sure to go into the actual xbox settings and configure the controllers sensitivity and button mapping. This is more than just a controller and it seriously changed the way I play certain games. Can see some people getting turned off by the price but totally worth it if you have the money or some gift cards. Also talked some friends into buying this and they all love it as well.

    Best controller ever. Espically for FPS. Almost feels like cheating at times. Super comfortable and overall amazing quality. Steep price tag. That is until you actually use it. I tell everyone I know to get one.

    The controller works great and having the paddles makes a huge difference in shooters. The only bad thing is they built the bumpers with a pretty weak plastic joint that snapped after about a year so I would definitely get an extended warranty with the purchase.
