    Feels good in my hands. Only issue is is you can't buy an off brand rechargeable battery set to use due to the fact that the battery cover is made differently than the original controllers.

    This is my 2nd Xbox One Elite Controller. I had my first over 2 years until I accidentally broke it on a trip (poor packing). I tried to play with a standard controller but I just couldn't do it. The control customization of the Elite Controller just can't be surpassed! From the joysticks to the mapping the buttons to more convenient locations' you'll never go back to a standard controller again!

    When reading reviews on this the only con I saw was about the price. It's well worth it if you are an avid gamer. The magnets used to swap out parts are very intuitive and work well. The feel of this controller feels much better than the normal controller. If you game on PC with a controller frequently and have an Xbox One, this is a must have.

    Best controller I've ever used. Lots of ways to customize and extremely well built. The only real downside is the cost, but that's on Microsoft.

    bought this because i needed to replace my original controller. figured i would splurge for myself. Wow !!! What a difference I thought i was just getting bad at the games. I am already building my scores back to where they were. this seems to have a better reaction time compared to the controller that comes with it. i don't know that for sure but i see and feel a difference

    So, I was worried about spending so much on an XBox controller since the regular controllers seem to break within a year. Bot was I wrong! This thing is STURDY! You can feel the heft of it and how solidly it is built. It was absolutely worth the money! I did buy the warranty just in case. I'm so happy with this controller! HIGHLY recommended!

    I decided to buy the elite controller instead of a scuf controller and couldn't be happier. It came with more accessories at a lower price and it provides everything a scuf does and more.

    I bought this controller because I felt that the stock controller had really loose thumbsticks with no spring and the build quality felt like cheap plastic. This is a pricey controller but it feels much, much better than the stock controller. The extra paddles are easily removable if they get in the way. I left a few on personally. The sticks are still kind of loose but not nearly as bad and the rubber grips make a huge difference. After buying this, the controller is longer an issue when deciding on multiplatform games.

    I have had to return two of these, because of the bumpers failing. One of them also had the rubber grip falling off. Outside of wearing out much quicker than the base xbox one remotes I used much longer than this elite it is a great way to get those custom button mappings that you always wanted. I have a custom paddle setup for each of my games and it allows me to keep my thumb on the sticks during play.

    If you are playing first person shooter games without this controller you are at a definite disadvantage. It takes quite a bit of getting used to, but it's capabilities are incredible! There are a multitude of ways to configure this controller to fit your gameplay. A little pricey, but if you're serious about gaming, it's almost a necessity!
