    I use this controller for pc gaming and this thing is sweet. Controls are tight without drifting off. Different ways to customize the triggers to get quicker response. Would definitely recommend.

    I have a mix feel for this, seems like it’s beyond my Xbox one x, I’ve notice a little lag with input from time to time, but when it’s plug it, it’s perfect. There’s a lot you can do to tune it over the first series. Maybe there’s a update in the future for the lag issue or perhaps the X Series will be able to keep up. Of course if had a choice I would have brought another series 1.

    Love the controller, it is amazingly effective and feels great. However, I had to purchase a second one after the first one started having problems after a year. Love it though so bought a new one at full price. Would only buy if you won't be hurting after your 200 controller starts to break down in a year. Use it for Halo, COD, and Skyrim.

    Lots of customization options available and more comfortable than the standard Xbox controller. I think mostly competitive players can appreciate its features but still worth while if you know what you dislike about the standard controller. Biggest issue is you can't easily swap the battery, which is disappointing considering the cost of this product.

    So far been using this controller for 2 weeks. No complaints, no stick drift noticed *yet* . Ive had 3 other elite controllers that all showed drifting anywhere from 1 week to couple months out. Hoping they solved issues. Does not come with paddles however i had plenty of others from previous ones.

    I had my eyes on this for a while. Bit the bullet after missing out on Black Friday sales but i love the purchase! Its been helpful on games and Fps. And it feels premium with its padding and grip and extra tactical buttons.

    Love the feel of this over the basic controller. The level of customization is amazing and can be applied to any play style. The latest update did cause some issues playing on an Ipad but it works well enough.
