However, customers are negative about the wired connection and some reported issues with stick drift and triggers. A few users also mentioned concerns about button durability and cord length.

    Best Xbox controller I’ve used

    I love this controller. Has all the features of the elite 1st gen with much lower price. Don’t let the wire discourage giving this a shot, no need for batteries and you will barely notice it is there as the cable they used is light and flexible.

    I bought this in may as my elite 1 crapped out at 1 year. My first fusion pro had a paddle socket break after 2 months so I used my best buy warranty to get a second. I then noticed a really bad ground loop hum on the second that made it really unpleasant to play with friends as they could constantly hear a hum. I returned this for the elite 2 which has it's own problems too that are very common for everyone (left stick drift). May have to try a scuf controller next. The warranty is very affordable and the controller is affordable and nice.

    A nice alternative to pricey Elite controllers that have a bad reputation for poor durability. This controller has worked well for me so far. It's wired but that doesn't bother me. Good value.

    The unit itself was a 5-star controller while it worked. Sadly, it has failed at exactly the 1 year mark, and I mean almost to the day. Keep in mind this isn't an inexpensive unit. I have $20 controllers 2 years+ old working fine. First, the audio plug failed at about 8-months, and I used that a lot with some earbud style headphone to keep noisy or obnoxious games more private. That failure I could live with though. Then, just this week, the left thumbstick began to fail in a way I have never seen in a lifetime of gaming. It's doing a "studder" whereby, say it is pointed all the way up at 100% forward, it will studder repeatedly like it's only being held at 15% forward. In walking or driving or horseback games, this makes the character studder with fast-to-slow walk~run. It's doing this repeatedly for milliseconds to sometimes a whole second or two, then return to functional. I've tried firmware updates, recalibration fixes it for about 20 minutes and then it devolves to broken state. Smartly I kept all packaging, and it is in visually perfect condition, so I have to hope and pray that Fusion honors their warranty. Just had hoped an 85$ controller could outlast a $20 one. It was very comfortable while it lasted though.

    The original one I bought had an issue shortly after I brought it home, some of the connections inside had come un-soldered. But Power A was great in getting me a new one shipped out once I contacted them about it. Other than that I love it.

    I bought one of these for my boyfriend a year ago and every time I played with it I loved it. It’s very customizable and the cord is very long and high quality. I ended up buying myself this one and once again very impressed.

    I’ve owned a $200+ elite remote and this is just as good if not better! When I think about the money I saved going this route it makes me feel so much better while playing!

    I struggle sometimes with the buttons registering but not enough to truly down play this product, would recommend if making the swap from console to pc for its plug in ability. 4 stars!

    Picked this controller up after Elite 2 started to drift and RB button stopped working and can't tell you how surprised I was by the accuracy and premium feel, put a 2 year warranty on at Best Buy just to be sure but so far I'm impressed

    Great value, sticks and triggers lasted longer than any controller I've ever used. The sound jack did come loose but that's my fault. Will purchase again. Always buy replacement plans on Xbox accessories. Never buy at Wal-Mart.

    Great controller for the price! I bought one on sale for $60 and it was completely worth it. A year later I bought this one on a flash sale for $30 and its a complete STEAL at that price.

    First, product delivers in all expectations. I especially like the paddle location for ease of use. Second the staff and process for getting the product was quick and efficient. I got the product as a curbside pick up. Great staff and product.

    Its a great controller if you are looking at the elite series, and you don't want to fork over $150 then this is the controller to get, it functions exactly like the wireless one in my opinion.

    Had for a few months and seen other reviews that say the quality is very good and the controller lasts a while. I can confirm the controller lasts a long time before you run into popular problems like stick drift.

    Returned original controller under warranty but they didn’t have any replacements in stock. We opted to upgrade to this controller and pay the difference. My son loves this controller. He says it really improved his gaming experience.

    Product works, but springs on paddles are very noises. Maybe due to how I play games, but still a good product, pretty similar to elite series one at a much better price

    I am not the actual product user, but my 11 year old son is. I bought this controller because it seemed like it would be great with all the gizmos and what not, and I was looking for a good wired controller. My son hated it. He said the “fanciness” wasn’t of any benefit to him and the controls aren’t sensitive enough. I ended up returning it for yet ANOTHER wireless Microsoft controller and ANOTHER $500 worth of AA batteries (not really, but it feels that way sometimes!) and he is back in business.
