    My first elite controller. I do like the paddles and seems to help improve at shooters. Nice case and different attachments to fit what you like best.

    The controller is very well made and the options fit customization are phenomenal. It's also very nice that it comes with a hard shell carrying case to store it and the extra pieces in.

    Purchased this as an open box item and I was completely surprised that, when I unboxed it, it was completely brand new! Excellent price for what I got, which was about $100 less than MSRP

    Best gaming controller ever

    Plain and simple. Solid, grippy, has a weight, travel case, wireless charge, bye bye battery pack, changeable thumbstick, D-Pad, along with the paddles on the back, adjustable trigger stoppers, USB-C, and custom profiles designed to your own likings. Overall it's a great pickup for your setup or just a controller to experience a different way in gaming era

    I love this controller, but they never last more than a year or two. For the money, it should have a better warranty,

    Waited for the 2nd version and I'm glad. This is a great controller and certainly worth the $ compared to the regular controllers. The adjustability sets it apart but the durability is all I care about. Feels good in your hand. If you've been on the bubble about getting it don't hesitate.

    My son has the white pro controller and have always been a little jealous. When I saw that it came in red, I had to get it. Plus I saved some money with buying an open box.

    Love it!!! Have the series one, and was ready for an upgrade. I love the smaller back paddles as you can grip the controller better. My only complaint is that I enjoy using the domed thumb sticks and this only came with one not two like the first series. Ordered one from Amazon, when I get it this will be the perfect controller.

    This thing is awesome and I don’t even take advantage of half of the features it provides. It is very expensive though so I’m still waiting to see how well it holds up and for how long.

    So I was given a tracking number to track my package. Then I was told that it was at the corporate package office and I had to pick it up. And it was a hassle just to get it. I had my number on the information so it would have been nothing to contact me and ask for the rest of the information so I could get my package. Thanks for the headache.
