Hair triggers, stronger jsticks, soft rubber grips as well as nice aluminum paddles.

Bottom paddles are tough to get used to

What?I bought a replacement about 2 months ago and now the top right paddle is not responsive

I do love the paddles and configurations I can put it in if it weren't for those

Everything else about the controller still works but the paddles for whatever reason, and this controller is almost useless without the bottom paddles

If I was skilled enough (or adaptable enough to break old habits), I'm sure the paddles and ability to reprogram the controller is also great

Having programmable button lay out and the paddles on them bottom are worth the investment

Haven't gotten to where 4 paddles is comfortable yet and having used a regular controller for years remembering you have paddles in the first place takes a

The flappy paddles on the back of the controller were helpful in a few limited occasions but I honestly found them hard to get used to and they were helpful in far fewer styles of games than I had hoped

paddles are working great

The paddles are great, but this controller is made of glass

The paddles are too sensitive and I've only had the controller for 35 days and the triggers seem to have a malfunction occasionally they won't work and now my right analog joystick is going bad.

The elite controller does a good job of fixing this issue.-Multiple analog stick variants, made of metal as well-The paddles

Other than my $150 breaking on me it works well and the paddles are nice when you get skilled incorporating them into gameplay

I really like having the paddles underneath.

That doesnt mean squeeze these paddles as hard as possible, but I read a review that some guy broke his paddles and had to buy a new controller

Best Xbox one controller I have ever used, really love the paddles but within 6 months the rubber grips in the back started to fall off and after that about a year and 8 months with the controller the left stick started to drift upward

For me the only slight downside is the paddles on the back.

Everything about the controller just feels so perfect in your hand, and the fact you can change out pieces or even remove some all together like the paddles is a nice touch

The customization was great, and the paddles were amazing.

Mapping is awesome,and interchangeable paddles and sticks are great

I love having a more solid controller and paddles are a must, but unless you can justify essentially lighting $150 on fire every 4 months or so hold off on buying until this product receives the warranty support it needs.

But once you stop pursuing the buttons on the top and starry using the paddles only, it is awesome

The trigger stops are nice, but the paddles are incredible

I love the paddles and short triggers however the quality of this controller is very bad

First off, the back paddles on this controller are great, and make my gaming much more fun

The paddles felt nice, loved the look of the controller, but it WILL NOT last

The controller is good overall except it came with a jammed back paddle button

Feels good using the paddles though and cant wait to get better at it

When I first bought this controller, it seemed heavy and the paddles were awkward.

But the paddles are nearly useless because they are way to sensitive too the point that I had to remove 2 and add stops behind the paddles so they wont go off by just breathing on them

The main benefit that this has over the standard controller are the paddles underneath the controller that allow a gamer to use their other fingers to access the "A-B-X-Y" buttons without lifting the thumb off of the control sticks.

Best Xbox one controller I have ever used, really love the paddles but within 6 months the rubber grips in the back started to fall off and after that about a year and 8 months with the controller the left stick started to drift upward

Great-feeling controller, and the paddles are wonderful

The 4 paddles on back definitely give you an advantage and allow you to do some really cool stuff, but $150 and only a 90 day warranty

The paddles are impossible to get used to if you have big hands

The paddles have made it so much easier to play and i love the joysticks

The controller came in with little signs of use, as advertised, however, one of the elite paddle ports is completely useless.

Left analog stick malfunction as well as the paddle on the left side.

The feel of the elite is great, the paddles are awesome, the look is exceptional, and the updated mic jack is brilliant, but it seems as if they still use the same cheap plastic wishbone bumper design where repetitive use will result in part failure no matter how delicate you are.

While they take time to get used to, the paddles work tremendously well in COD for dropshots and in fornite for panic

The paddles really do help you gain more flexibility with hand placement as you can now keep fingers where they need to be and map pesky bumper or otherwise large movement functions to the paddles instead of removing your fingers from triggers to push a bumper

The fully round D-Pad design prevents me from missing buttons when I need them most, and the paddles on the back give me an advantage over most competitors in online games

Overall verdict: for a controller that feels fantastic, the design is poor, the paddles are essentially ineffective, and its durability leaves me scratching my head.

You will find no better finger paddles

The pros: raised joysticks help with aim for sure, the extra paddles can be useful but hard to get used too

with that being said the paddles are sensitive and a little weird to get used

While the back paddles are nice, i find that i prefer removing the bottom right cause i hit it by mistake too much.- the bumper and triggers are still normal plastic parts similar to standard controllers

Its heavier feels more sturdy, has better grips, adjustable and replaceable sticks, replaceable Dpad, and the paddles are in a comfortable position and very easy to map the layout

i love the paddles up under it and the way u can customize the buttons to your play style i have had it over a yr or so

The paddles for the right hand are set perfect but being the thumb stick on the left hand is a little higher, the paddles for the left side aren't as effortless to use.

It comes with 4 detachable paddles, but Xbox only allows them to mirror the functions of other buttons

The back paddles feel gimmicky and i've never used them

I was given two small right paddles.

The paddles on the back of the controller can be nice, but I would certainly say save your money until they can figure out how to build a controller that doesn't break from... using it.

Alas the top left paddle on this second controller broke after less than 2 months of ownership

And the paddles are even loose and floppy.

The paddles are held in magnetically so when i rage i spend about 5 minutes looking for them and the thumbsticks

The metal back paddles on this one didn't work properly and I had to get those replaced

Only issue I have with the control is how fragile the paddles are

the paddles on the back are very uncomfortable to use and the trigger sensitivity switches dig into your fingers when gripping with out the paddles

What?I bought a replacement about 2 months ago and now the top right paddle is not responsive

The four paddles on the underside are great, but I personally don't use them as much as I thought I would

The paddles on the back are actually pretty great if you decide to use them, but I implore you to give a little extra time trying to get comfortable with them

left stick became loose as well as back paddles

The paddles feel great, the modularity is amazing

The paddles are excellent for shifting gears and are much better than the usual XYAB buttons

Thumb stick action is smooth, the d-pad cover stays firmly attached and the paddles are not too easy to hit accidentally.

The paddles are awesome if you want to keep your thumbs on the thumbsticks nonstop (they are for the x/y/a/b buttons naturally but can be mapped in the xbox menu to whatever you want)

Love the paddles on the back.

For $90 more you are paying for button mapping, interchangeable analog sticks, a weird d-pad, trigger locks, interchangeable paddles on the back, and a superior build quality

Appreciate the different options for joysticks and the d-pad as well as the extra paddles.

But, the bottom paddles suddenly stopped working on me the day after my one

The paddles have been hard for me to use, but I don't have the nimble fingers I used to

Nice remote, very durable, but this is not worth 120 dollars, the paddles are helpful, but for 120 they could at least through in a rechargeable battery.

The paddles work

I use the back paddles for shooters often and work just fine

The paddles feel nice, and the controller is sturdy enough, but the rubber around the handles will come off after awhile, which shouldnt happen considering how much this thing costs

I love the magnetic paddles.

I thought the paddles on the back would be great for a game like battlefield, but honestly they just get in the way more than they help

left stick became loose as well as back paddles

Other times it works as it's supposed to and goes right.

The Right Bumper broke as

I'd gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a great controller to use, but I'd just warn them that it may not hold up for as long as they'd like.

Nothing is broken and everything works as it should.

For the price of this controller, it fails in multiple ways!!!LB just broke as it has for many customers

MS shouldn't get to intentionally cut corners on the basic controller model, with a famously broken D-Pad (just like last time!), and then charge three times as much for the fixed version

K/D is up a solid .7 since implementing

Classic + D Pad is much more positive than circular version

I didn't find the different D-pad options to really improve the feel of the D-pad, though and didn't help much in the few fighting games that the XBONE gets

Thank god fighting games are mostly a thing of the past or you buy an arcade stick because I haven't seen a good D-Pad since the NES from the 1980s

Great controller in the beginning, but the L and R buttons are cheap
