    I like the controller overall, but for the price I would pass. Everything about this controller is great except for one of the main functions. It drifts! Series 1 the quality in the build lacked this series it’s the drift in the stick. I have heard from other gamers that it’s case by case but I have heard of more cases of them having drift too. I plan on finding another controller to replace this one at some point in time.

    I have the first elite controller. This is slightly better but with a rechargeable battery and tweakable sticks for tension. If you have discounts awaiting you(rewards), I highly recommend.

    Best controller on market for the mix of support and features. Terrible terrible build quality. I have gone through 6 of these. All for the same reason of bumpers breaking. I can now fix the issue myselfz but it requires taking the front plate of the controller off and most people don't want to do that. Nor do they want to buy isopropyl alcohol, i just happened to have some cause I built my PC.
