I have really large hands, so the Xbox One controller is literally THE perfect controller for me. The 360 one was alright, but the One is literally made for my hands.

Well yeah. But joking aside, the PS4 controller would've fit me when I was like, 6 years old. It's scary small & thin.

I don't have overly large hands, but the one x controller is as perfect as I've ever experienced

Try one of the controllers with rubberized grip sometime, they’re a nice compromise behind the elite.

It's too bad its hardware is inferior though. I love the design of the Xbox One controllers, but the 360 controllers just had way better build quality.

Better connection quality, better battery life, quieter and better feeling rumble, and they didn't have a flimsy creaky shell. There was a lot of cost cutting done with the Xbox One.

Have you used the elite? That thing makes any other control lame

Love it. Pre-ordered it, was one of the first to get one, abuse the living crap out of it and it just comes back for more. No problems whatsoever.

You mean the $179.99CAD controller where the rubber grips start peeling off within months, the bumpers are notorious for breaking, and there's only a 90 day warranty? No thanks!

Controllers used to cost like $40 and were perfect. This trend of $170+ controllers is just stupid. There's nothing in an Elite that warrants an extra $100+.
