    I bought this to play with COD. It works great and feels great. No complaint about that. But I'm not really seeing the $150 worth of advantage to me. Probably someone who knows more about how to take advantage of all it can do would give it a better review. As a novice type player, it's just a fancy controller.

    All controllers should be like this

    This controller is amazing. It's so helpful in games like Destiny to be able to map buttons like A and B (jump and crouch) to the back paddles and hit them with fingers you normally don't use. It frees you up for maneuverability in-game that you previously couldn't do without letting go of the right thumb-stick. I've had it for about 8 months and it's still working great. The left thumb-stick dome/base slides outward from the controller slightly if you pull up on the stick, though that doesn't happen during normal use. I do recommend buying the 2 year warranty just in case anything happens. That way you can just pay the $20 to renew the warranty every 2 years rather than buying a whole new $150 controller if anything breaks or wears down. In regard to accessories, Best Buy honestly has the best warranty you can get.

    This is a very nice controller. Love being able to easily switch out the buttons. The controller itself feels very substantial in the hands over the standard controller. Movement of the thumb sticks feels more precise as well. Very well done controller!

    Surprisingly heavy. Don't find all four paddles to be all that comfortable so I only run two of them. I hear Scuf doesn't seem to last very long, this one feels as though it will last me awhile. Overall though, it's very nice to play with.

    The elite controler is a very comfortable and reliable device. It's a little heavier and more sturdy. You can customize just about anything on it to fit you. This controler bae transformed my gameplay for sure!!

    If you play Call of Duty this controller is a must. More controller options than Scuf and built to last. If it does break you can always take it back to the store and get a new one. Don't have to send it in and wait like you do with a Scuf controller.

    I love how easy the buttons are to change out. Definitely has a heavy feel to it, doesn't feel light like plastic. The joysticks, seem like they are much more durable then the plastic ones. Great having different customizable options for the buttons.

    This is one of the best controllers for the Xbox one and Pc. The Xbox elite controller is very rugged and will fit perfectly in just about anyone's hands. The fact that you can customize it depending on the game gives the user a lot of flexibility.

    Not bad, back paddles are kind of annoying

    I found that the paddles in the back tend to get in the way from how I normally hold the controller. They should be up higher by the battery cover. Other then that its a very well built controller and 'should' outlast the standard xbox one controller. For the price, it better.

      Hey Shawn,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. If you find that the back paddles get in the way or are too sensitive for particular games, you can either remove them or lock them in place. For information on how to lock the paddles, go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/how-to-lock-paddles-elite-controller

      Hope that helps,

    Controller feels really good in your hands. The rubberized grippiness and the weight really gives me the illusion of better control. The parts that swap out with magnetism is great over clicking in. But..,the price of 150...too much. I could see 100.

    Amazing, great quality, metal parts, feels amazing to use. I've never owned a SCUFF controller, but with the case, four paddles, and the different joysticks, you would pay $300 for a SCUFF controller with everything you get with this Microsoft Elite.
