    The RB button has issues it wore out quickly. It works but you have to use more pressure than you normally should. Really need to invest in a warranty with these elite controllers which is outrageous for how much you spend on them. I really enjoy using the controller when the buttons work properly. It wore out in 3 months so I can’t say I got my money’s worth. GET A WARRANTY or DONT GET IT.

    Bought it as a gift to my husband. He says that it's difficult to get use to but the tension in the buttons and paddles are great and he feels that he will eventually love it~
