    Its a great controller, but not much different than the Elite 1... I'm so glad I waited to upgrade until my E1 grips fell off...

    Great product, no slouch just pricey, the 99 dollar sale price is definitely worth it, no controller is worth more than 100, sorry ps dual sense but i say the same about your controller and would rate it even less due to the price
