    I like the control really good but I miss the old features that a regular control has and the paddles are really nice but I’m not used to it but I would definitely recommend it

    This controller is a vast improvement over the original. The paddles feel better and being able to adjust stick tension is a nice improvement. Textured triggers are better as well. Hopefully no build quality issues like the first one.

    The best controller in the industry, hands down. Especially if you have the 2 year Best Buy warranty. 60 dollars each time you need a new one! It makes too much sense!

    I had the first elite controller and this is a far superior product. The textures, plastics and finishes are just better. The buttons are clickier. The additional tension features on the sticks are amazing. Just buy it with a warranty.

    The controller has an amazing feel to it. I really enjoy using this controller until I realized that the ABXY buttons need to be fully bottomed out to work. When playing a game like Rocket League you can find yourself needed to press a button twice to get it to work, but in a fast game like that it is already too late.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
