    The elite is a great controller. There is no going back to the regular plastic one. It has a good weight and feel. Super smooth and buttons feel good. Only gripe is the adhesive used on the rubber grips comes off at the edges.

    This is a much better controller than the original Xbox one controller. The extra paddle buttons underneath work great and it's nice to be able to map different buttons to them. The eight sided D pad is much better than the standard one.

    Xbox made a smart move with this controller, between the heavier weight, the changeable thumb sticks and D-pad and the paddles this thing rocks. It has a sleek look as well.

    The controller feels solid. The options for customization are ok, but could be better. And many games are not allowing for custom button mapping anyways. So probably not worth the money, but it is better than the standard controller

    Great options for customizing. Weight feels perfect in your hands. Only issue is the micro USB port is fragile. Be careful plugging in the cord if you use it for recharging the Xbox controller battery packs.

    I prefer this over a scuff. I like the paddles better and the fact that they’re magnetic and not plastic. Plus the ease of the triggers stops.

    This controller is sturdier than the standard ones. Great for FPS with the under buttons. Smart move having the buttons attach with magnets since plastic wears out so fast.

    Love this controller, only complaint is the price. And thats not bestbuy's fault, it is completely on Microsoft. But if you set it up, and get used to the new buttons(it does take some getting used to) it is amazing!

    The $150 price tag does seem overwhelming for just a controller. However; when you realize the flexibility and how much it can bring to every game in your library it is an excellent value. Highly recommend it to any gamer wanting to have the best experience possible on the Xbox One.

    Great advanced controller

    This controller has great weight and feels good in the hand. The construction feels sturdy with much of it metal. Paddles and buttons are held on with magnets and stay on but don't require a lot of effort to change. The accessories app allows COMPLETE control of what each button does. It takes some time to get used to the paddles but for an advanced gamer it shouldn't be a problem. If you're an advanced gamer I would highly recommend it for the versatility and control it gives. All of the little accessories that come with it like different height thumb sticks and the carrying case are a great bonus. It's well worth the price.

    The triggers on the back really changed the gaming scene. The added weight makes it a little more realistic. I barely use the other buttons anymore.
