    I've had nothing but a good experience with the Xbox Elite controller. My one and only complaint is the need for shorter paddles. I've got big hands so my fingers end up reaching well past the sweet spot for using them.

    The amount of fine tuning you can do is superb. As if swappable controls don't help enough with FPS torque, the downloadable app only increases the feels. The only thing I have to say on the downside is the breadcrumbling mini usb ports they put on these controllers. I use the controller on PC via USB port and just like the normal xbox one controllers.... if the controller falls from minimal height and applies much pressure at all to the connection it will most likely move from place. Thank goodness for the warranty. Other than that it's totally worth it.

    Just what Microsoft Wanted

    As usual with Microsoft not what we wanted exactly, but something to feed their egos. Waiting for a well made controller with fully adjustable software. Get- a better frame (thicker is all). Same buttons and sticks so make sure you get the replacement guarantee...........because you will. Waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced!!! The new software is nice because you can smooth things a little (less twitch). All I really wanted was a speed scale for the sticks- faster to slower and everything between, and a frame that didn't flex in my hands. The stick button press is still as Wonky as ever and will fail. It does on every controller I've had.

    This controller is very solid in my hands. The customizable d-pad and thumb sticks are great. I have carpal tunnel in one hand, and I use one longer stick, and one shorter stick for gameplay, and less wear on my hand. The paddles work great, and I have a few configurations I now use frequently. I recommend reading a few people’s ideas on customizing for different games. It will speed your learning curve, as you try to get it dialed in for different purposes.

    The adaptability of this controller alone makes it worth the price when you add in the the feel and quality of the controller compared to a original "stock" controller it's a no brainer for any gamer.

    Let's face the music... The Xbox One controllers are TERRIBLE. I have owned 3 of the original controllers (all broken), one Lunar White controller and now this one. This controller feels much more premium, functions better than the others and I'm almost guaranteed that this controller won't break like the last few. That said, if you do buy this controller I highly recommend paying the $20 for GS insurance as Microsoft only offers either a 30 or 60 day warranty on this highly priced controller.

    The Elite Controller is AMAZING!!!!! There are other options to choose from but I think the elite controller is your best option that is easily accessible. The controller feels great and is easy to use. The extra buttons can do a lot, if you know what you would use them for. If your looking for a controller that gives you an extra edge without having to wait for yours to be made than this controller is the one for you.

    I think its over priced. Won't give it five stars. The best feature is added paddles which are not standard. Plus for the hair trigger, travel case and custom sticks.
