    So far so good. Upgraded from a PS Scuf Vantage 2. The controller is noticeably smaller but feels great when in your hands. It may be a little heavy compared to what I was using.

    I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m also not quite sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. It is pure perfection in your hands. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    I had the Elite 1 since launch and loved it! Only had 1 problem with the bumpers in that time. This version 2 is an improvement in every way. The construction and feel of the controller is un matched and is worth every penny of the price tag
