    Xbox Elite Wireless Controller

    • – get a regular controller and spend your hard-earned money on better things
    • These things are seriously so much nicer than the original its ridiculous.
    • Like it, only thing is that when it gets hot, the grips on the back start coming off after a
    • It's not necessarily worth $150, but there are far worse things to blow a little extra cash on
    • My favorite thing to do with the paddles is to map the triggers to the paddles and the bumpers to the
    • For a (at the time) $150 controller this thing is absolute junk
    • This thing could have been great if knot for these issues
    • The controller gets very hot in your handsThe problem with this controller is things started to break pretty much right out of warranty period
    • Good thing I do not wish to use it as wireless
    • Only thing I like is the grip on the sides of the controller.
    • The good thing about the controller is the feature with the pads and controller layouts, other than that, have fun buying multiple
    • This thing is not worth the money
    • I have a lot of words in my head on how to tell you the amazing thing of this controller, so let's
    • I used to have a problem with hitting the thumb stick buttons on accident and moving the shoulder buttons to the bottom made things faster and easier
    • That is actually one of my favorite things about it.
    • This thing feels pretty hefty
    • Since these things aren't cheap, you might think I am a moron for dropping the coin, but ever since I went to a under-pad trigger, I stopped having hand cramps.
    • What's more, I never needed the warranty, because the thing works like a champ, and I use it every day, 9-10 hours a day.
    • I held this thing and appreciated the way it seemed to be high quality
    • Otherwise, I love this thing
    • 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
    • The thing is just junk.
    • This is almost impossible to do and you always end up clicking the wrong thing
    • Good thing I bought Square Trade Warranty!!!
    • Love this thing.
    • Becareful if you manhandle this baby for a huh-wile then grab and old fashion xbox controller because you may launch it into space and hit someone on the International Space Station.}//End of badI would not have given a single darn about this controller if the Steam controller did not insist on being recognized as a keyboard+mouse, and instead did the insanely crazy thing of actually being a controller
    • I eventually picked up one of those silicone sleeves for it, and that helps protect the controller a little more as well as prevent sweat, cause I mean this thing is really expensive
    • For what it's worth, having jump on a finger other than my thumb is a wonderful thing
    • This thing breaks every 6 months
    • Another "funny" thing i found out is that Microsoft KNOWS about this issue yet they are unwilling to do anything about it
    • OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVERY GOOD FOR
    • This controler is by far the best thing you could buy to improve your gaming experience
    • The one redeeming feature, the thing that makes it hard to give it up despite all the negatives, is the bumper buttons on the bottom of the controller.
    • But the greatest thing of all by far, is having the ability to jump and reload and change weapons all while never taking my thumbs off the sticks
    • Look up on the internet, this thing is super buggy and tons of people have problems with it.
    • So many things you can customize as well
    • but I hear all good things, even down to the case it comes with!
    • This is why we can't have nice things people
    • To put in perspective how fragile these things are, a fall of less than a foot is enough to jam the bumpers in place and cause the outer shell to start to separate.
    • Fragile... for the cost, this thing should be built better
    • Microsoft is criminal and I hope bad things happen to all that work there.
    • It's honestly the next best thing to a racing wheel and foot pedals
    • Drop the thing and your controller is permanently damaged, buttons won’t work, triggers will break
    • I'm an avid but casual gamer and this thing is a huge improvement over the stock controller (wearing out after a year).
    • It's the best thing since sliced bread!
    • This thing isnt worth the plastic its made of
    • if I gush about the controllers heft, the nice grip, the clickiness of the buttons, and the other quality features of this device (all of which are super true and far outweigh the negatives), so I'm going to try and focus on some "negative" things I don't see mentioned as much.
    • This thing was awesome
    • Would have given 3 stars but for $150 this thing should be good for years
    • That's the only good things I can say about the controller
    • These things are garbage and Microsoft knows it
    • Buying the extended warranty was the BEST thing about this transaction, as I got my $$ back after the M$ warranty expired
    • Well I got the second one today and first thing I
    • Not to mention the left thumbstick moves on it's own which isn't a good thing when you're playing an fps game
    • The paddles are the only good thing about this controller to be honest
    • This thing is super awesome and comfortable
    • The Elite controller is just amazing , the only thing about
    • n’t work on other controllers
    • Let me see if i get what i am reading, i was planing to buy this controller, but it seems to break easy aftet a few month of use regarles of level of use that does not sound like a high end controller, and a 90 day warranty tells me that even the company dont have confedent the controller is going to last, i was a hardcore gamer both on xbox 360 and ps3, but move to pc, now i pike to pkay exclusives, so i want to get me a xbox one and ps4, with the high end controllers, i had my xbox 360 for about 10 years and it works fine, the controllers are very well made to last, to the point that i but a new shell for running over my wife pink controller with my car, well i but the sheel and fix some of the bent joysitck parts and works lile new, so how in yhe world a 150 dollars controller breaks in 3 to 8 months with only a 90 days warranty
