    Don't buy this expecting to become a call of duty / halo pro. It didn't help my game but I appreciate the button combo options it gives you. I bought it for $99 and it came with Halo 5.

    Not As customized As I was expecting

    I was hoping this controller would be fully customizable. You can change the sensitivity and the Xbox logo light (button). Adjust the feedback response (vibration). I was really hoping you can re-program the 4 trigger buttons on the back. But they are already assigned to the X,Y,A,B buttons so you don't have to take your right thumb off the stick. If Xbox or the games would allow these buttons to be assigned to whatever button you wanted it would be 100% perfect but its not, which is disappointing.

    I've used one Elite controller for playing on my Xbox One and PC for over a year, but was tired of syncing it back and forth between my console and PC. So I purchased another. It's a bit pricey for the occasional gamer, but if you plan to be doing a lot of gaming, I highly recommend it. The customization is awesome as well.

    This controller definitely customization for any user as they want with any game button configuration depending on the game they are playing, my main game choice for this controller was with Rocket League. Having the bumpers on the back of the controller make it so much easier to maneuver in that game it just seems unfair to the rest of the players.

    A+ Controller for the Gamer

    A+ controller for the gamer in the family! It adds 4 customizable buttons that allow you to program to any other function. There is also a switch for each trigger that allows for a shorter distance to pull, for rapid fire or comfort. It also weighs a little more so it feels like you're actually holding a durable piece of gaming equipment!

    I heard the rumors and it made me kind of leary. But I bought this thing and MAN is it fantastic! After the 2013 revision, they fixed the rubberized grips and the janky triggers. Now it feels absolutely fantastic to use. I love the adjustable trigger stops and the fact that I can swap out stick sizes on the fly.

    I debated getting this for a while based on reviews of it breaking easily. I have only had it for a month so I can't speak to long term quality. Once I got used to the paddles, playing borderlands 3 became much more fluid. No need to stop aiming to reload, change guns, punch or jump.

    All in all it is a great controller. Severely over priced IMO. This one was open boxed so the price was better, but it was claimed to be defect free. It was not. It had a very strong smoke odor to it from the previous owner and one button was loose. I will be returning it for a new one as they have become available again temporarily. Use a gift card or reward points to get it for a better price.

    I tried it with halo 5. The extra flaps on the bottom take some getting used to, but they help one you do. controller is sturdy and well made. Other reviews say to but warranty for it because others had issue with theirs. since the controller is $150, I'd recommend 2 year warranty. XBOX one is not dying anytime soon. a good investment

    This controller is well worth every penny. I don’t like spending this much money but after I kept breaking controllers it is well worth the investment. Plus extremely helpful in almost all games with the paddles. I primarily play shooter and sports games. Helps me lean and I have recommended to friends.
