    Loved this controller from day one. The feel makes standard controllers feel like toys and the paddles and trigger stops are a must for fps games. They do break often tho. On my 3rd one

    It's hard to justify spending this much on a controller, but it is built significantly better than the standard controller. The removable thumbsticks are my favorite thing about this controller, the metal sleeve ensure it won't wear out, and swapping out different heights and textures with the included accessories is awesome. One of the things I'm a little disappointed with is the extra paddles on the bottom of the controller, my hands are too big for them, and they just get in the way. Plus not all games seem to recognize them as separate buttons. Bottom line is if you play games A LOT then this might be worth it, if you're a casual, or on a tight budget... spend the money on more games instead!

    I play a lot of competitive multiplayer on Xbox Live and man, does this thing make a difference. For example, I was playing Overwatch before I bought this controller, and I was pretty good as Lucio who has an ability to rollerblade on walls. On Xbox, it's hard to ride on a wall and shoot at enemies while on PC this is very easy. When you use this controller, you can now use an extra button to ride on walls while still aiming. I instantly became an even better player. Definitely recommend this for any game where having a few extra buttons will give you the edge.

    Paddles for controllers are an absolute must for competitive gaming. The controller is extremely customizable and can be differently for any game. I personally have been through about 5 of these controllers which I attest to my own aggressive playing style. I wish for $150 the controller was made more durable internally, but from my understanding it has the same internal structure as a standard xbox one controller. I find that the left stick goes out with aggressive play and becomes less responsive. Additionally, I have had problem where the LB and RB internal plastic connectors snap. Overall, if you don't have wear and tear issues with standard controllers you will not have any with this one.

    Perfect Controller

    This is without a doubt the most comfortable controller I have ever used. Microsoft really nailed all the little touches with this one. The texture on the back has helped with holding onto the controller but also making it more comfortable to hold. The ability to switch out thumbsticks and the d-pad for different games is incredible. Happy they finally have a good d-pad too! The triggers on the back take getting used to and I don't regularly use them, but they're great for adding extra flexibility to your games. If you can afford it, this really is the ultimate controller.

    I was a little skeptical to spend the amount of money this controller cost, but it was definitely worth the money. I play a lot of racing and shooter games and the extra tall sticks make a huge difference. I highly recommend to anyone that plays regularly.

    I gave this to my older son and my younger son has the controller that came with the console. My younger son is always asking to borrow this controller as the added features make gaming that much better. I will be purchasing another one for my younger son!

    Didn’t know if the upgrade from the first elite controller would be worth it. But they somehow skimmed the controller down and has better grip on the triggers and overall controller. Battery life is wayyyy better having a built in battery helps a lot and the fact the charging dock is available or you can plug in the usb cable in the controller. Highly convenient to always drop it on the dock when I’m leaving and coming home to it right on top of my Xbox. Worth the money !

    Just picked this controller up, mostly for the paddles on the bottom. The plus sides to it; very nice texture on the grips, nearly all the buttons, and the paddles, are held in place magnetically, so they're easy to remove and swap, and then of course the paddles themselves make it incredibly easy to execute button pushes without taking your thumbs off the sticks. It comes with a nice braided USB cable, hard case, typical expansion port and 3.5mm headset jack. For the price though, I'd have really hoped to see enhanced functionality out of the paddles, particularly the ability to have them execute multi-button sequences you could program.
