I got hi pad cos I needed a new one but wa not expecting it to so good the feel of it's brilliant fits in your hand nicely.worth h money

good for if you have previously had a elite controller as comes with no bits for controller

I bought this for gift for my son who was very impressed.But he did have to purchase extra controls for the back of the controller / which given the cost I feel should have been included.

Best Xbox controller with lots of features.

This controller does it all from 3 different profile setups to removable back paddles to short trigger pulls n different tention on each joystick makes this controller above others hands down.

Bought one for the boy at Christmas. He loves it

I've been using it for a month now and it's one of the best controllers I've used. It was easy to set up and easy settings for the controller. One down side is that the big paddles are abit too big but you can remove them

Wish i bought it ages ago helped my gaming so much

This product is robust and feels like a quality product when used.Custom paddles, joy sticks & trigger adjustment are just a few to name of my favourite features. Great battery life also

A brilliant pad, comfortable well built
