    Durable and reliable

    I will say I actually got my money's worth. Buying this elite controller has stopped me from buying a new xbox controller every 3 to 4 months. It is kinda sad that a basic xbox controller comes with so many faults that it starts to drift after a while. If you want reliability and durability, save some money and get this one.

    Better than Generation One

    I was pleased with the first generation Controller. The improvements to the trigger locks are fantastic. The control sticks seem more responsive and have adjustable tensioners. I haven’t figured out the shift function in the app yet, but from a cursory inspection it appears there is a greater degree of customization options with the buttons. The docking station is the greatest improve,ent, no more breaking the USB input.

    By no means have I found the controller to be of poor build quality. Everything feels great from the grips to the beautiful metal dpad and padles. The customization is nice, very easy to setup and disassemble/reassemble. Everything that is able to be detached is magnet. Pretty strong magnets. I love how you can turn down the brightnessof the Xbox logo to fairly dim. Trigger stops are the bomb. Paddles are hard to get used to imo

    Incredible controller. This has elevated my gaming experience ten fold. Absolutely no issues which was a concern for me due to the previous model being somewhat underwhelming for the price point. However I can confidently say as an avid gamer (4-8 hour sessions daily) I have ran into no problems at all and will continue using this product.

    Best Xbox Controller

    The paddles can be a bit stiff, but if you’re trying to take your FPS play to the next level or just looking for a better built controller, this one fits the bill. The top two paddles can be especially stiff. The rest of the controller and it’s features are very nice and you can edit the settings and presets of the controller very quickly while in-game.

    Best controller ever made

    The best of the best! Great for shooters where you need your hands on the thumb sticks. Easily map buttons to wherever you want. Build quality is fantastic. My series one broke and they wernt making that one anymore so I had to wait 4 months for this and use a standard controller while I waited. It was a big adjustment in the games where I was so use to using it. I couldn't even remember what button did what! Highly recommend!
