    If there's one thing that has been slightly disappointing about the Elite controller is the lack of a WIN button.
    For the cost, I half expected that this controller would sport a button which, when pressed, goes Boom! Game over! You are the winner!
    Would have been very useful in certain games, particularly online.

    Joking aside, I really like the Elite. No problems with it so far, and I've been giving it the treatment with a week of Forza.

    The missus got me this recently for the bday. What a piece of kit. It just feels perfect in your hand. I'm trying to only use it for fps though

    I think I felt one of trigger buttons sticking a bit....desperately trying to justify getting one of these!!

    btw, is there any talk of an upgraded elite? I guess they fix things that need fixing without calling it a new model, but any sign of an Elite 2 anytime soon?

    Anyone bought the replacements parts of eBay? My little one got her hands on the stubby thumb sticks and has lost one on me. Is the quality the same?

    I'm thinking of taking the plunge and picking one of these up. Seem to vary from 120-150 but I am guessing that they are worth it of course :)

    A great purchase. If you play a decent amount of Xbox they are worth it :)

    I'll be bringing back my second Elite controller to be replaced in 5 months. Last night during a tense game of competitive Overwatch the LB button cracked and came almost completely loose :(

    I love the controller and don't want to use anything else but it seems that the manufacturing is not as high quality as advertised.

    Am i just unlucky?

    Never dropped it, and i don't hammer on the buttons. Never had to replace a controller prior to the Elite.

    Very frustrating, but at least i have the Lunar as a back up. Would recommend that anyway.

    My mate laughed at me for paying so much for a controller said I was mad then he tried it and bought one himself. You cant appreciate how good it is until you use one.

    We talked a while ago about the play and charge battery kit I can't recommend it enough I know some people here prefer swapping out rechargeable batteries but I'm getting great lengths out of mine and I just plug it in the odd night or morning when I'm not using it.

    As Steve Jobs said when confronted with evidence of poor iPhone design resulting in poor reception, "You're holding it wrong"

    It's weird with this generation of controllers, I've done my usual thing of not really caring for my controllers, dropping them, squeezing them in rage, and I've not had any issue at all, and yet other people have had major issues, to the point that they handle their controllers with kid gloves and still manage to break them.

    There's obviously something wrong with the materials used, but it only crops up for people "using" it in a certain way. It's mad.

    I'm on my second elite, one of the springs went in the paddle I had mapped the jump button to in Rocket League. I don't think it would have happened if I hadn't bought Rocket League though.

    Hah, a later one which we almost managed to nearly win. Still, we had some fun games even if we lost the majority.

    Turns out Gamestop won't replace the controller this time, gonna have to get in touch with Microsoft. Joy.

    Public execution will take place in the castle Bailey at sunrise.

    Let this be a lesson to all.

    Could it be pleaded that the execution include being hung, drawn and quartered as a mere execution won't satisfy the elite :)
