One problem I have is that the thumb sticks pop off sometimes, often during the worst times

I love the weight, grips and paddles; this is one of my all-time best purchases ~~~

No controller that costs $160 should break in as short a time as the ones I've purchased

My first Elite lasted a long time with no problems

I would assume with my ridiculous time

Don't waste your time or money - not worth it.

It improved my game big time.

Built with cheap materials, bumpers broke a few times after replacement with a limited a warranty

I had a hard time pulling the trigger on buying this, but am glad I did

every time you press the shoulder bumpers its like bending it back and forth

Now the caveats and the reason for taking off a star: While I like the idea of being able to customize things by selecting my stick height and whatnot, they fall off all the time.

common”.Do not waste your time on this item

Again RB broke and this time the rubber grip started peeling off

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

It was good but the first time I dropped it, the charge cord broke and my controller disconnects and connects

10 times better than regular xbox controller

Now the caveats and the reason for taking off a star: While I like the idea of being able to customize things by selecting my stick height and whatnot, they fall off all the time.

after the 100th time of searching for the thumb sticks when they fall off and go into another realm and after endless searching only to end up in your microwave

Best controller I’ve ever used hands down love it still use it today one back paddle stop working but as much abuse and time I’ve spent on it totally worth it will buy another elite

Excellent seller and excellent delivery time

I tried to type in every number I could find in and on the controller into the Microsoft service center, and after hours of navigating a ridiculously-designed service platform and experiencing abject failure time and time again one number finally took, but Microsoft had no record of the controller being purchased, so no warranty for me

Dont waste time and effort on this product.

They denied me five times

I love the customization options with the different sticks, paddles, and button pads included in the case, it lasts a long time on AA batteries (have not tried rechargeable ones yet), and it feels and plays great

Same left bumper breaking every time

I love this controller, but the bumpers have broken 2 times for me

Going to try again, better luck next time.

Don't waste your time or money - not worth it.

To paint the picture, I work full-time and am a full time student, so I have time to play maybe 10 hours a week, if I'm really jonesing to

Bumpers broke 2 times in one year and when calling Microsoft, there was nothing they could do

Worked okay for a month or two now it disconnected randomly about 2-3 time a hour making online gaming even harder

I honestly have a hard time playing with a normal controller now that I've retrained my hands for the elite and don't ever

After a lengthy time spent in tech support chat, I was eventually told that they couldn't help and that I needed to purchase a new one

It must be break after press it thousands times

but this last time it became clear that it was the controller

I've had to tear the room apart looking for the thumbsticks several times just because they snagged a charge cord or something and popped off while I was picking it up

The trigger locks DID improve my reaction timing when playing shooters, I'm pretty happy about that

Adustable trigger broke the first few times

This has killed me countless times and renders the controller useless for most games

I use all 4 paddles all the time never had an issue

I've even dropped my controller from couch height or knee height from forgetting that it's on my lap and have a mini heart attack every time

they feel super weird the first few times.

Now im skilled enough to actually take the controller apart & after watching a couple youtube videos, swap the plastic RB/LB buttons from my normal system controller to the Elite, but im not going to lie...during the 25minutes it took to perform the surgery, I was cursing Microsoft the whole time

I shouldn't have to glue...back in mad dogs time cheaper for better controlers

Example: if I flick left, it will flick back to the right leaving you in the same one and it can be really annoying when it does that in moments when you need it to work the first time

Replacing them is hard but it'll cost you $5 each time, and the replacement will break eventually

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
