    Love how it feels in my hands. Build quality could be a little better this is my second one after a couple of years, my right bumper only would work if pressing on a certain part of the bumper and the grip started to pull up a little bit. Other complaint is the software required to map buttons and update your controller on PC forced me to upgrade to Windows 11, not a huge deal but you know that’s just another lame tactic on Windows’s part.

    Great controller. A lot of customization and features. The only issue is the analog sticks. They will eventually get stick drift unfortunately.

    At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.

    Its a really good controller but it wont let you mal the buttons theyre preset to the ABXY of the actual controller. I wanted one that could map out whatever button i wanted. But everything else abt it is great

    For the most part has worked exceptionally well since it was purchased. As of right now, a couple of the buttons are getting sticky like something is in them, but I've been careful about keeping it clean so I'm not sure why. Other than that, it's been a great purchase and would recommend / buy another if I need it to.

    Always the best controller on the market. Very hard to go back to a standard controller after using an elite. The weight and customization options make it stand out from other controllers.

    The price is up and quality is down on these elite remotes. As i was not paying attention when i was doing a warranty exchange and was only given credit for a core elite so im out the 70$ difference. My mistake i guess

    I had my doubts with this controller seeing how many people had an issue with the previous model. Everything has held up well. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for having to adjust everything from a memu. Compared to other cheaper controllers that you can program the padels on the fly... mid game.

    Amazing controller! The grip is much better than the standard controller. Need to get used to the back paddles but that comes with time. No sticking issues on any button as some reviews suggest. Battery lasts over two weeks without charging with 3 hours of play every night.

    Used to play on my pc. Had to buy a Xbox wireless receiver didn’t work with built in Bluetooth. So if using on pc you will have to buy one. But other than that, it works really good. A must buy. I have about 150 hours so far gaming, no problems.

    More durable than the elite 2 though a little lighter and it doesnt come with the case paddles sticks and d pad, those extras would net you the same price for the whole bundle anyway plus colors. Ive been abusing this thing on multiple high intensity games for a while and no broken bumpers or anything. Sticks arent aligned right though. So micro adjustments are hard but using the tall stick/controlfreeks fixes this for the most part. Now my hand doesnt cramp playing claw and of course double the control over everything 9/10

    Great controller that is responsive and feels like a high quality product. I've tried other brands of controllers with paddle buttons, and preferred this one. It is more expensive than I would like, but it is noticeably better than the stock controllers.

    This is the best controller I've ever had, and I'm not just saying that. Has the best grip, joystick feel and customization out of any I've tried before, and the charging dock it comes with it simply magical. Highly recommended to pro and casual gamers alike!
