    Best control in the market

    If you can look past the price, this control if worth picking up. Works perfectly and gives you so many customizable options aside from changing the sticks and adding paddle. You can even adjust the sensitivity of each joy stick and trigger.

    Really like this controller, it is heavier than the newer Bluetooth ones since the One S. Stick drift is still a problem in 2020...

    Great Controller. Better than original Elite.

    Love the elite controller. Feels good when holding and does not slip if hands get sweaty during heavy gaming session. Love the ability to set the various controls. I had two original elite controllers and for both of them the hand grip material came loose after many hours of gaming. So far that has not happened with this controller which I've had now for 19 months of using it at least 2 hours per day.

    Very different from a Scuf

    As a 2 year Scuf user, bought this to replace the Scuf while I send it in for repairs. The paddles are in an awkward spot that makes me hit the paddles and not give me enough space to grip the controller. The programmable switches are a great feature. Much better than the other style of controllers.

    Until the Series 2 is released, this is top dog of controllers for Xbox. The weight feels great in your hands, not too much to weigh you down and tire out your wrists, but just enough that you can let the weight sit in your palms and worry only if hitting buttons and pushing sticks. The various configurations are great! The additional back slots for the face buttons take some getting use to, but if you’re a serious gamer, it’s worth the learning curve.

    Phenomenal controller

    I've used mostly just the default controllers that came with the Xbox One since day one. A friend recommended that I try this one and I was skeptical at first. Initially the paddles on the bottom got in my way, but after using it for about a week, I couldn't put it down. The other controllers felt too light and I missed the additional programmable buttons on the underside. The Elite is very well made and feels like a quality controller should. It is on the expensive side, but I suggest you give it a try and you won't be sorry.

    Good controller but buy protection plan

    I like the feel of the controller. The option to have buttons on the underside of the controller is great BUT buy the protection plan. I'm now on my second controller and this one is starting to have issues. My first one the bumper broke and my current one, one of the buttons on the underside doesn't click anymore but still works and when I have a Mic plugged in it loses connection or doesn't recognize that there is a Mic plugged in. I've had this second controller for less than a year. Now that I think about it, $150 is a lot to pay for a controller that has issues in less than a year. Protection plan is a must for this item.

    From the moment you pick it up and feel it's weight, to the small amount of time to orient, it's absolutely great. Highly recommend.

    I use the controller to map my jump and slide buttons in Call of Duty. It works very well I have yet to encounter a problem. The controller is kind of expensive but it is a good product.

    This is a great controller. I love the rubberized grips and the controller feels more durable than the basic controllers. Utilizing the paddles takes some time to create the muscle memory but excellent shortcuts for competitive gaming.

    Much better controller than what comes with the Xbox in every way. The joysticks have a metal rings around them so they don't get all notchy and worn out like the regular Xbox controller. The 4 paddles on the underside are great for re mapping buttons (I have remapped a few for overwatch) and the different length joysticks have really improved my aim. It also has the new headphone jack along with the old style puck. Endless options for customizing the joystick sensitivities and triggers. Should have bought this sooner.

    I wanted the feeling of a tight built controller and this has it in spades. I find the bottom triggers more in the way then useful. Don't put it down in the middle of a game because you don't know which trigger will fire, but one will. No rechargeable batteries or charge and play @ $150, that's another $25. I have 2 different charging stations but the battery cover is just different enough I can't use either rechargeable systems. Didn't make any difference in my game play, guess when you're bad this controller won't make you good.

    It may be called an elite product, but this controller works great for any age! It has the basic controls for beginners, but offers so much customization for those advanced gamers. I really like the protective case that comes with it an stores all of the extra bits and pieces. This is my third time purchasing this edition, because the thumb stick starts to get sticky after too much use; however, the protection plan offered thru them covers this.

    This controller is solid and feels good in your hands. The interchangeable parts and the ability to remap all your buttons through the Xbox or Accessories app is super cool. Bought it as an open item and it was literally brand new.
