    (I use my Elite controller on PC only) As a PlayStation owner that uses a Scuf controller, the Elite controller is better. Both have the off-set sticks, However, the Scufs back paddles come downward, therefore, only two are easily within quick reach, and the other two are a stretch to reach further inwards. The Elite's 4 back paddles are all placed where your fingers would be naturally, so access to the paddles are much more comfortable by comparison.

    I was not expecting to love this controller as much as I do. My experience with different games and how you can have 3 different types of settings for different games is awesome. You can also have the light different color.

    Great Controller and fully customizable. From the the thumb sticks to button layout this controller does it all. Has a nice textured grip that allows me to keep a firmer grip on the controller without getting too sweaty. Nice for competitive gamers

    Stick Drift Persists

    I'm writing this in July, 2020. I bought the controller the week it came out and I'm now awaiting my second controller after using the extended warranty I purchased. The reason: Stick drift. This is an issue that came up with the original Elite and I figured the MS engineers maybe fixed it. Maybe not. The controller is truly fantastic. It's heavy, has excellent options for programming/customization, and has a lovely, tactile feel. But don't buy it without the protection plan. Without the drift, this controller would be the best out there and I still love it. The specific drift I'm dealing with is on the left analog stick. I returned it and the BB rep, also an Elite user, immediately recognized it and helped me out, so 5 stars for the great customer service. I'd love to blame AC: Odyssey for causing the problem because if you've never played this game, you'll put lots of hours in pressing up on the left stick. But that's not enough reason for a $180 controller to fail. Buy the protection plan and enjoy the controller with the understanding that if you're willing to pay this much, you need the extra insurance to protect your investment.

    Def an upgrade from the standard controllers. Battery life is incredible and I love the extra inputs on the back. My original elite controller lasted almost 9 years, hopefully this investment lasts just as long.

    Worth the price. Premium controller with back paddles. Comes with replacement parts (buttons, joy sticks, etc). Great for PC games too. Links with xbox on pc and steam very well. My only complaint is that mine didnt come with the replacement back paddles.

    This is the best controller I’ve gotten in a while! I was hesitant to spend the money for a controller but it was definitely worth it as it is so easy to customize to the kind of player you are. The detachable thumb sticks and paddles are easy to customize for crouching quickly and moving fast in the COD game. The case is sturdy and charging is simple and fast. From what I can read you’ll also be able to use this controller for the upcoming Xbox system so worth the purchase!

    Best controller I’ve ever held. Size is perfect. Paddles are useful in every game. Only issue I have is sometimes clicking in on the thumb sticks causes the controller to shut off. Only way to reconnect is to put it on the charger, then take it off and reconnect. Sucks when it happens in multiplayer. To fix this I put melee on one of the paddles.

    Yes there are cheaper alternatives for the elite controller, but the quality of the build and how easy it is to use is perfect for someone who wants the buttons and not want to rage brake a controller.
