Get the best buy extended warranty on it. I've had mine for a few months and love it. Much better feel then a regular controller. Paddles come off and it comes with extra sticks. It's also got great grip and the trigger stops are amazing for games that they work for. The controller isn't straight plastic like the regular controllers it has like a rubberish grip all around it. It also comes with a travel case which is pretty nice. Definitely recommend it if you have the extra money to spend. The paddles are amazing and make things so much more convenient. A regular controller feels awkward in my hands now since I believe the elite is slightly beefier. It also comes with a cable so you won't need batteries or a charge kit if you choose as well as the ability to dim the light of the Xbox logo which saves a little bit of battery life if your using batteries.
The best buy extended warranty is amazing and let's you return it for another as long as it's before the 2 years is up and you can just renew it. I only got that warranty because you never know something could happen and it's nice to have the protection.
Good controller with a good overall feeling, the back paddles are nice, and make things much more convenient. But the elite controller is a bit poorly designed in the bumpers. The extended warranty is very much recommended.
The Video below gives you an example of the issue, there are some issues when it comes to getting it replaced, so having the best buy extended warranty is a nice thing to have. Not everyone have experienced this issue, but this is still fairly common.
Best buy does seem very good about their warranty, The video below shows you the general idea where the bumpers break, and how simple it is to replace if you don't have a warranty with best buy, and/or microsoft isn't assisting you with any customer support.
