    Really enjoying this controller. This is the first time I have bought an elite controller and i got to say, it is a game change. Makes it so much easier to play fps games. I will not go back to the regular controller after this.

    Best controller. Totally worth it after breaking so many. I got the protection plan. But they have worked very well. I have 3 of these and so far so good. The gameplay experience is great as well. Customized game settings are really nice.

    Best controller ever made. Period. Reassign the usual controls to back paddles or create a macro for a quick one button press that would have taken 2 button presses to accomplish, like going from standing to laying down without stopping at crouch

    I love the controller. I just hate how buttons have gotten stuck over time and/or stopped working - left trigger and right bumper. I've had to replace the controller twice, but keep coming back for more!

    I started out using the first Elite controller. It lasted for several year before I replaced it with the Elite series 2. After about a year and a half the left thumb control stick stared drifting. I replaced the first Elite series 2 with this controller.
