    This controller feels heftier. The joysticks are height adjustable, and the additional paddles underneath can give you a better control layout. A bit pricey, but since the originals don't seem very solid, hopefully this will pay off in the long run.

    This controller has taken my game to the next level. It is comfortable to use and is durable. The ability to customize it is a feature that will cause me to buy another one for my wife, as we enjoy gaming together. After using this controller, I will never go back to a regular controller. I am pleasantly spoiled.

    I love this controller, I really do, but I wouldn't purchase this controller without getting the replacement plan, after average use it defintely did not stand the test of time, which shouldn't be the case for an "elite" controller, non the less best buy honored their replacement plan and sent me away with a new one, get the plan, you won't be upset

    Was skeptical about paying $150 for a controller but caught it on a sale so picked it up. Overall the build quality is far better than I expected and the controller feels premium. The sticks have a good heavy metal feel instead of plastic. Overall I’d recommend this controller.

    I play on Xbox and PS4 and this is my favorite of all controllers that I’ve tried. Solid design and great feel in your hands. I did encounter a problem where the rubber grips started to come off; contacted Microsoft and they replaced even though it was out of the warranty.

    I thought it would be dumb to buy a controller more than $100 but it’s titally worth it! I’ve had the controller more than a year now still works perfect. The casing is much better quality than the original Xbox controller. I will never use an original Xbox controller again.

    It's obviously expensive...but if it fits in your budget, get it. Awesome for any shooter games because you can jump, turn and shoot all at the same time without taking your thumbs off the sticks. Much better build quality. This controller is the reason I didn't touch my PS4 for a year before I got rid of it!

    I definitely wouldn't consider this controller a must-have, but it is a fun upgrade. The different thumb sticks are really great for finding what's the most comfortable and the paddles definitely give an edge in fps games because you have access to every button while still having full control on the thumb sticks.

    I originally felt like the controller was a little expensive for what you get. However, once I opened it up and played with it - I never looked back. This controller is awesome, and it feels very premium. It's definitely worth it - It's not a necessity, but a nice controller to splurge on.
