    Just as good as the elite 2 black, hopefully the bumpers last longer, the extended two year warranty is the way to go.

    The RB button has issues it wore out quickly. It works but you have to use more pressure than you normally should. Really need to invest in a warranty with these elite controllers which is outrageous for how much you spend on them. I really enjoy using the controller when the buttons work properly. It wore out in 3 months so I can’t say I got my money’s worth. GET A WARRANTY or DONT GET IT.
