    Pros: customization and style Cons: rubber on the back peels off over time for people with sweaty palms Bumpers tend to break with time

    Definitely a great tool to have for FPS games like Apex or COD. Very comfortable to use for short and long periods of gameplay. IMO its a great controller and i know some people say they’ve had alot of issues but i think as long as you take care of it and dont throw it or anything like that then you’ll be fine. Honestly why would you pay $200 for a controller just to throw it and smash anyway lol. Hair triggers are great, but basically useless if you don’t adjust their sensors in the settings so make sure you change it. Only thing i dont like is the placement of the remappable buttons on the back. They’re in the way so you’ll find yourself hitting them very often on accident as soon as things heat up during a fire fight or intense situation during a game so be mindful of where your fingers are placed on the back of the controller. I just take the top 2 out cause i dont need em anyway and leave the bottom 2 in. All in all, id say if you’re willing to spend the money, its a good controller. If you only want it for the hair triggers and dont want it for the taller sticks or remap buttons, I probably would pay.

    So i had been wanting to get one for a while and i decided to pick one up. I got the geek squad coverage to go with the controller because i have seen reviews of them breaking. The customization options for the controller allow you to have different mapping and sensitivities for each game.

    Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is The World's Most Advanced Controller! Get pro-level precision, an arsenal of swappable components, Hair Trigger Locks, and limitless customization with an easy-to-use app. I cannot play with any other controller after putting this one in my hands

    This can be a hard choice to make. Why would I pay $150 for a controller. The rubber grips, hair pin triggers, interchangeable three types of thumbs sticks and d pads. The programmable paddles. Mainly it's how amazing it fits I. Your hand. It will make all other controllers feel inferior.

    I guess you cannot teach a seasoned xbox controller person to change his ways. paddles are too different for me. controller build is excellent though.

    It's extremely responsive and the mappable paddles are awesome. It's just a little heavy for my liking but all in all a good buy if you have the money.

    This is surely for the gamer that spends lots of time on the pc or xbox or plays competitively. Immediately after using the controller, you can feel the difference in quality compared to the standard controllers. Recommended for hardcore/competitive gamers 100%.

    The controller is fine and a more comfortable upgrade over the standard control, but it isn't worth the money.

    This is definitely a must if you're an Xbox gamer. The remote is a bit heavier with more grip. The pad system is great and configurable to your liking. The one thing I really did enjoy was the long usb wire they provide. The traveling pouch is also a big plus.

    I really had some judgement on this controller before I purchased. I wasnt sure how it would feel or if i would even like the underneath paddles. However after 10+ hours I love it. I use just the 2 shorter paddles on the top 2 buttons underneath. Left one for jump(A) and right for couch/slide(B)
