    Got this to replace the crap product MS put out with their xbox, when they used plastic piece instead of metal inside the normal controller. Kept having my normal, non-elite controllers break. I have gone through a few elite controllers now, but MS is good about replacing them if they are within a year. Better than a normal xbox controller, but still some durability issues.

    Amazing controller, the ability to use paddles for things like jumping so you don’t have to take your thumb off the joystick is really advantageous. You don’t have to stop turning in order to jump in first person shooters, a great help. Unfortunately the bumpers are the weak spot and seem to fail often. Mine broke as did two of my friends. Wait for the second version that come soon out fall 2019. Should be more durable.

    I love this controller. The back paddles make it easy to just and aim at the same time. The sensitivity is good and the dpad is helpful when playing fighting games

    After owning my xbox for a few years while playing destiny 1 & 2 religiously my original xbox one elite controller went bad. The controller was hit with the dreaded stick drift. So I went up to best buy to get a new one. It has worked great. Just make sure to buy the protection plan. These controllers are notorious for developing stick drift.

    There is a definite learning curve when first getting this controller and using it, but after a week or so of playing and trying different button layouts the controller feels natural to use. The quality in this controller makes me not want to go back to the original non elite controller. Very responsive buttons and the fine tuning makes competitive gaming that much better.

    I have had lots of different after market controllers. I mainly play shooter games like call of duty. The elite controller works really well and is very easy to use. It is also really cool how you can swap pieces out to adjust thumb sticks or adjust triggors. It is also very easy to use the Xbox app to make additional changes. Seems to be durable and will help gain an edge in your gaming.

    Quality is good but the paddles are a bit awkward and takes time to learn. I like the ability to customise buttons to my preference. Im happy with the product.
