I'm not sure it's worth the money. It works well and is great for moving up levels but I've already had to search around for silver tabs. They hurt when u play for a long time so I end up removing. Then I cannot find them. I've also lost the black knob and had to search for that.

I am a daily gamer and it gives you the custom ability for a competitive edge as well as feeling better and heavier while you hold it.

Bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. He can configure the controller anyway he wishes and for certain games. It is very expensive for a controller but if you game as much as he does it's a great buy.

The first thing you notice is that it is very heavy in comparison to the standard controller. Next the textured grip takes some getting used to. The paddles which are removable also take some getting used to. The app for it is awesome as it lets you remap any input to the paddles or on the controller itself. The removable thumb sticks and dpad are nice but not really game changing. Another often not mentioned thing is the back cover is different from the standard controller meaning standard controller rechargeable battery's that replace the back plate won't work. They sell separate rechargeable batteries for the elite. There is also a video that shows how to modify the non elite battery cover to work on the elite controller if your up for that.

This controller has the most possible configurations with the added bottom paddles. The extra soft grip and feel in the hands is the best.

The build of this control feels premium as it should with its price tag. The buttons are extremely responsive and smooth when depressing. Overall it is a great addition to any gamers peripheral arsenal. Youll wuickly forget about the "regular" Xbox One controllers :-)

Always great to purchase an item that meets your expectations and matches the reviews online. My X-Box One Elite Wireless Controller is easy to handle and easier to operate. Love that I have freedom of movement when I am playing my favorite games.

Great Controller as Long as You Get a Warranty

The price is no doubt steep, but there's no debating the controller itself is a great piece of equipment. It has a sturdier and heavier weight to it, and along with the customization of the buttons and paddles made it worth the purchase price to me. I spend a good amount of time playing online multiplayer games and I couldn't go back to a normal controller after the time I've spent with the Elite. Make sure to purchase Best Buy's extended warranty as the Microsoft warranty is only 30 days, and these have been known to break. That being said, I haven't had any problems whatsoever

solid build controller for a serious gamer. Works fine, easy to connect. The only thing negative I can say is the price. For the cost of 3 games at $150.00 is steep, can't say its worth that, but it is quality.

This controller feels really nice -- weight, texture, springiness of sticks and triggers. It's hard to use my PS4 controller and the standard Xbox One controller after using it. Dropped to 4 stars only because it comes with AA batteries instead of rechargeable battery.

Birthday gift for my teenage nephew who plays a lot of Call of Duty and other shooters. He was legit excited to use it. Comes with a nice softcase and premium wire for wired gaming. Now he has no reason to blame his bad gaming on a bad controller.

I consider myself a casual gamer so I didn't think I really needed this controller, but reading on the reviews, I was very curious. The moment I held the controller in my hand, I knew I was gonna love it.
