    Love this controller. The only thing I would change is the inclusion of a medium height thumb stick like the previous version had.

    Feels good, has good wait and response. Love the features that it offers. Down side is I only had it 8months before the left joystick suffered from terrible drift. In addition I use it for PC and this could be an issue with my computers signal, but it suffers severally from bluetooth connections, ie missing button presses, delayed registering of button presses, or laggy input.

    Had this less than a month the left joystick is already loose meaning you have to screw it tight when you are playing a game. I play sport games it’s annoying when the knob spins when it supposed to stay still. Just bad quality for what they say is an elite. Save up and get something else.
