I Wanted a Controller For PC Gaming, So I Bought a Xbox One Elite Controller

Initially I was surprised by the quality of the packaging (and also how heavy the box was!).

The lid removed smoothly after cutting the two adhesive seals on top, and the one on the bottom.

After removing the case (with controller inside) and the formed insert, there was another long and skinny box, and a paper flap underneath.

Underneath the flap was all the paperwork: Quick start guide, warranty information, etc.

The smaller box contained a nice braided USB cable, and two fresh Duracell AA batteries.

The USB Micro to USB cable has a nice green and black braiding on it and was surprisingly long!

I very much appreciated the fact that for the amount of money this thing costs, it included a quality fabric covered hard case.

Here it is in all it's glory!

All the interchangeable pieces had secure rubber slots to be stored in. The foam insert is to fit the form of the backside of the controller. I was surprised that they decided to use a piece of foam instead of having the case itself fit the form of the controller.

Close up of the storage area for the removable parts.

A standard D-Pad, two tall thumb sticks, and two domed thumb sticks.

The hair trigger switches function great, and the four paddles are easily removable.

After a bit of fanagleing, I was able to get the paddles into their storage slots. (I later noticed the small paddle shape indicators next to each slot at the bottom.

And here's everything in the case. The net pocket was a nice touch.

Overall the whole package seems worth the money in my opinion. I tested it by playing Portal 2 and it worked flawlessly.
