    Great controller, the grips are amazing and the the buttons are very smooth. It’s a rechargeable controller, all you have to do it out it in the case when you’re done and it will be ready for next time you play. Have not had any issues with it but so far, it’s definitely worth it.

    I've had this for a couple years now and can definitely recommend it for quality. It is built strong and weighs heavier than the standard controller which I find more comfortable when gaming. I like the flippers on the back that you could map actions to. I get a lot of use out of it in Battlefield V.

    Works for a few months until the bumpers and x,a,b,y buttons stop working all the time. Not worth the price, Your buttons will cease to function faster than a $60 controller would. The build quality is fine, just not the design.

    Love it. Much better than the first version. 3 levels of trigger resistance. Internal battery. The paddles are a little shorter so it's not as easy to tap accidentally (it still happens from time to time). The construction and materials of the controller are pretty good.

    I was actually really looking forward to this controller and was fairly disappointed. One of the analog sticks became drifty within a week and the back paddles are very small. Overall the controller looks great and has many options for variability.

    I had the gen 1 elite and loved it so naturally I purchased the gen 2 and immediately fell in love with this one just as much as I did with the first one. The controller feels comfortable while playing for long amounts of time with the rubber grips all around and I love the fast charge with the new usb-c charger.

    Controller feels very well put together. The grip is very nice and includes a wide range of customization straight out of the box. I really enjoy the heavier duty sticks and trigger stops that can be swapped on the fly. Really great controller.

    It is an excellent control for Xbox or PC but it is very expensive. Recommend adding insurance or some type of protection plan. It's better than the old model. It's easy and friendly on the hands, especially when playing for a long period of time.

    Had it for a few months now and works great as the day I purchased it. No drifting and the rubbers by the palm is still in great shape. The controller is being used a lot between to players and no button getting stuck. Also, I did but the two-year warranty with it in case it fails on us down the line.
