    It’s a pretty solid controller the grips and the design are amazing and I love the fact that I can change my DPad and my left and right stick and adjust them to my liking. And I’ve had it for about almost 4 weeks now.

    To start with I like the feel of this controller over the older model. Remapping was a breeze since my console recognized the other model controller was mapped previous to connecting it. I havent really had the chance to use it yet but i have it set up to knock some heads off in Call of Duty!!!

    I know the price seems high for a controller, but I swear by this controller. The weight feels nice, the build quality feels great and I’ve had to stick drift or button issues. Love it

    Definitely better than the series 1 but suffers from the stick drift issue if you have your controller tilted the weight on the metal joysticks will drift your controller but it has a 1 year factory warranty will probably get a scuf next time

    I have had this for a few weeks now and have about 20 hours of use with no issues. Had the Elite series one, this one seems a little more sturdy. Time will tell, the Elite series one held up fairly well with heavy use. replaced the bumpers once and the rubber was coming off. I like the interchangeable sticks and that you can adjust them.

    I use this on PC and I find it to be a stellar controller, even more so as a guy that came from console to PC. I do use it connected and not over Bluetooth, however the responsiveness, weight, and overall feel are among the best I’ve ever used. The highly recommended this controller to any console or PC gamer!

    Its better than the previous model. The paddles are a bit smaller and shifted compared to the previous model. Takes a little adjusting. USB-C is always a plus and an internal rechargeable battery is good as well. Comes with its own stand for charging in which i assume is the reason the shift in location of the back paddles.

    If you already have an Elite controller this is a good way to replace it for less $$ and get a new color. Would recommend!

    Is it worth 160 bucks? No. Is it a great controller? Yes. It's actually a really nice controller. The rubberized faceplate is really grippy and comfortable and the interchangeable buttons are nice too. I've only found use for the paddles in racing games for shifting but I'm sure theres other uses for them.
