    Comfortable to hold, feels good in the hands and is a good fidget toy when needed.

    Definitely the best controller on the market. They finally put in a rechargeable battery which is long overdue, but appreciated

    This controller has great quality although its durability tends to present stick drift after only a few months. I have tried other controllers such as the new turtle beach elite controller and this is far superior for the price, however, unless you are willing to return the controller after six months for a refurbished one or buy a kit to repair this yourself it will almost always get drift relatively soon. I had a series 1 and it was amazing after years of use. I have had 4 series two and the controllers always have issues with drift or the bumpers stop working correctly. These have been reduced in price recently without all of the extras, however, a regular controller will get the job done for half the price.

    Great controller when it actually works

    This controller is awesome when it actually works. I’m already on my 3rd due to various issues though. It seems almost impossible to find one which isn’t defective out of the box. Issues I’ve seen are buttons sticking on the face and shoulder, double inputting for face buttons, stick drift, and now on my newest one, it will randomly power off on its own. I’d say unless you are a diehard elite controller fan, maybe look at a third party offering for a premium controller

    Fantastic Controller. Not cheap but for as much as i use its well worth the performance and comfort. I use mainly on PC and it works well. Really like the grips as well as the 3 trigger settings.
