    Great controller - Still too expensive

    The controller is fantastic. The sticks, face buttons, and triggers are clearly at a much higher quality than the standard controller. The extra triggers on the underside seem to be for esports type functionality, but not needed for everyday use. Fantastic controller but still too expensive to justify a purchase by everyday players.

    I can't say it made my game play any better, but it dose what it is intended to do. The controller is comfortable in the hand and I like that you can configure the controller how ever you want and mix and match thumb sticks as well as the paddles on the back of the controller. Not sure how it compares to a Scuf but I like my choice in controllers

    This controller is awesome! it feels good and there's weight to it so it really feels high quality. If you game a lot then this is a no brainer and you won't regret the purchase. It's up to you if you feel the price is justified though.

    The controller is great but the price was a bit high. It was also out of stock at Christmas time which I felt was irresponsible of the Microsoft company . Best Buy was the first to let me know when it was back in stock and quick to get it shipped to us

    Epic controller for epic gameplay

    So I've been on the fence about getting this controller for a while. Finally took the plunge and will never look back. I love the freedom it gives me to literally design the functionality. The ability to have two distinct programmed layouts at a time is clutch for any major FPS game. Allowing you to seamlessly switch from aggressive offensive play to a reserved defensive style with a flick of the switch. The feel of the controller itself is far superior to the basic wireless Xbox one controller. The only notable issue... it will take some time to re wire your brain to use the paddles versus the buttons. Once you get there though it's everything you ever wanted to be able to do in game. Quicker draw and trigger reflex. No disadvantage when jumping and aiming as you can do both with ease and agility. I made a quick video on how to dial it in. https://youtu.be/OCbvFiYuNoQ

    It feels and seems to be a good quality controller. However, I decided that it was overkill for my needs and I would be just as well suited with a regular controller. The only reason this only gets 4 stars is because it doesn't have Bluetooth compatibility.

    far superior controller compared to controller that comes with the Xbox one. buttons/controls hold up better. would recommend extended warranty. rubber handles with alot of use will wear out. pricey though. wish it was lower $$.

    This controller is the best for gaming, with the interchangeable joysticks and added paddles it makes switching playstyles easy. With the ability to change joysticks and adding the paddles, it is great for shooter games, racings games, etc.

    I absolutely love this controller... I wish I had bought one earlier. It does better with battery life, is WAY more rugged, and the customization rocks! I actually change the controlled around depending on the game I'm playing... which really improves accuracy.

    This Elite controller is truly a Premium Product. It's preciously for gamers who truly wants the best. It's comfortable to hold and offers lots of customizing for racing, FPS & Sports games. The con is once you use this controller the standard controller feels odd.
