    Dpad is weirdly strange when using the down direction. Overall the controller is well worth the upgrade over stock xbox controllers.

    It is an improved version of the original elite series, the build feels tight and well built but only time will tell if bumpers or rubber will come apart but again so far it feels better than the first one.
