    I've tried many aftermarket controllers for the paddle functionality and this is by far the best. Very sturdy and high quality.

    Awesome! If you’re wondering if it’s worth the big price tag, buy it. It’s more configurable than you think and rarely needs charging!

  • Drifting is still an issue...

    So I am reviewing this 9 months after purchase. This replaced an elite series 1 controller that had the drift issue with the right stick. This has held up longer, but I now have some drift in the left stick. I don't play rough with the thing so I'm a bit disappointed I'm running into issues already. 90 day warranty is BS... might need to stick with the cheap controllers moving forward...

    I bought this for my husband and he seems to enjoy much more than his regular Xbox controller. The price is a little to high imo but great none the less.
