Anyone get the xbone elite controller? (Destiny)

If you have one, what are your thoughts on it? What type of setup on the back buttons are you using?

My first thoughts are that the build quality is absolutely amazing. The heft and general feel of the controller is probably one of the best I have used hands down. I'm still playing around with some configurations, but I have found that I really like the domed thumbsticks and the trigger stop on RT.

I'm still getting used to the buttons on the underside. I'm currently trying to figure out which, and how many buttons I want to use down there. I'm playing with Jump, Run, Crouch/Slide, Reload on the lower levers. I have found I like have run on the upper left lever and jump on the upper right lever. I have slide/crouch mapped to the lower right lever and reload on lower left.

For the most part, the levers are fun to use. I'm trying to get used to having something down there which is causing me to change my grip slightly. I could see myself removing two of them while playing Destiny to simplify things a little.

The only negatives I have found so far are that the levers are highly sensitive and can somewhat get in the way with how I previously held controllers. Other than that, I love it.

The xbox accessories app that lets you configure and load different combinations is pretty simple and highly effective.
