I dont feel that it is necessarily more durable. The selling factor on these are the design, comfort, and button customization.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have only had my elite controller for a couple of weeks. My initial thought is that the joysticks are much sturdier. I have also run through a great number of the regular controllers myself, and think they are not made that well. So far so good, but I have yet to see the effect of wear and tear on the controller. The only thing I worry about is the hairpin triggers and the ease of replacing the joysticks, because of the plastic base under them. If they hold up then it will be perfect. It is definitely a better made controller, but it depends if you can justify the premium. I WOULD NOT buy this controller unless you plan on utilizing the paddle additions to improve your game. Or else it is just a fancy looking controller.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.From my experience the issue isn't with the rockers slipping and causing drag like traditional controllers but just a.cheep buil all around on the controller. Ive had 2 controllers break free with the rs stick one just feeling loose with no altered gameplay and the other was the same but no longer registered the RSbutton.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. They are as reliable as regular controllers. Make sure to get an extended service plan so you can return it when.... not if... it fails. I loved mine, but it crapped out just like my other Microsoft controllers. Their parts are cheap. A shame.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes they are the joy sticks are top of the line
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Somewhat. The thing I've had issues with is the rubber grips coming loose. If you get an Elite get the Geek Squad protection. It's like 15 bucks and is really worth it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The damage that is happening to the joystick is most likely do to excessive force. The elite controller will help to eliminate this because the magnetic mounted joysticks will release from the controller. You still need to lighten the death grip on the controller.
