    Wanted an upgrade to my Gen1 elite so I picked this up knowing the paddles and accessories could be used. However, the elite core had issues such as the A button sticking and the left bumper not registering inputs. Returned.

    I owned the older version and never had any problems, I love the way this one feels if feels smaller and I love that you can recharge it in the case. The problem I’m having with it is that the left stick it moves up by itself, can’t play destiny like that, bought it on November 7 and I called today to get a replacement. I’ll give it 3 stars because this controller is not cheap, and is not delivering
