So i've been thinking about getting an elite or scuf controller for a while. I saw an open box elite controller for $119, so i decided i'd give it a try. The Elite controller is excellent. The build quality is excellent. Set up and use is extremely easy, you can use the "Xbox Accessories" app on xbox one to map the buttons, triggers and paddles to what ever configuration you want. I noticed in Call of Duty i would get killed by people who were jumping aiming and shooting all at the same time. This is pretty much impossible with the OEM xbox one controller. Now that i have an elite controller this action is super easy and really takes my game to a new level. I have almost an unfair advantage against my opponents. The controller comes with 2 AA batteries (Duracell), a heavy duty fabric 10ft micro USB cable to plug the controller into your xbox. It also comes with a nice case to keep all your extras in. It comes with 3 sets of analog joysticks that are different lengths so you can customize the sticks to your play style, and 4 paddles that attach to the back. switching the paddles and joysticks is incredibly easy and are all connected by magnets. You don't need to use all 4 paddles i'm only using one currently. Also with the xbox accessories app you can fine tune the distance of motion and speed your joysticks will travel before responding, 4 separate vibration controls, and even how bright the home button glows on the controller. All in all i know $150 seems a lot to spend on a controller for video games but compared to a similar Scuf controller this is way cheaper. This controller is also an official Microsoft controller, so it's backed by a year warranty. I would recommend this to anyone who needs more control while playing. It takes a little to get used to but it's definitely worth it. Read full review

This is my 2nd Elite controller (1st one broke a bumper after falling off tv stand). Best controller hands down. However, not really much different than a standard Xbox controller for the money, Paying for the 'feel' and solid construction and interchangeable parts and options of mapping - which is pretty cool but not for everyone. My 2nd one listed here was a "refurb" - I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND PAYING A FEW BUCKS MORE AND GET A NEW ONE. This 'refurb' is serviceable but clearly a 'blem'.

I would say if I was to buy this controller for like $50, around the same ball park as a Steam controller I would have been able to look past some of the faults. Since it cost so much though the expectation is that what you are getting is going to be awesome. I would say anything on the top of the controller is excellent. The swappable joysticks snap on and feel secure and the movement is really smooth. The swappable D-pad also feels very secure. The hair triggers work really nicely as well. Where the controller falls short for me is the bottom paddles. Everything that is swappable on this controller is magnetic and for the other parts I mentioned they are very secure, the paddles are not. If you happen to push one of the paddles slightly at an angle it will push it out of alignment and rub against the lower paddle then you have to stop what you are doing and push them both back in to place. On the left side of my controller I opted to just not use one of the paddles... partly for comfort because of the way I hold the controller, but the bigger reason was even if I did not strike the buttons at an angle the paddles rubbed together because they were to close to each other. Long story short great controller if you ignore the problems with the bottom paddles, but for the price you pay I feel like that is kind of a big deal.Read full review

After buying 3 wireless xbox wireless controllers and each breaking in their own way & figured after spending about $59.99 each I should try the ELITE for about $149.99.. I am so glad. After 3 weeks now not a single problem and it is made so much better then the rest. Many ways to change the all around buttons of the game so it is more comfortable in my hands. Feels better and the way I can change the controller to the way I want it to makes this way Better then any other controller out there.

Despite being a refurb, it may as well be brand new. Came with everything it was supposed to come with. Takes a long time to make adjustments to using the triggers on the back of the controller as opposed to the standard a b x y buttons
