    Saw a bunch of reviews on this product and was worried about durability due to the Elite Series 1 controller being poorly built, however, this seems to be sturdy and put together well.

    I bought this controller to play some games on my PC and it’s incredible. I’ve paid similar prices on mouses that don’t even come close to the quality and amount of customization as this controller.

    You'll never want to go back to the original controller. It just feels and plays so much nicer. That being said, it's not perfect, it has randomly turned off on me about twice over 6 months (mid-game).

    I was a little worried about by this remote because all my other remotes analogs seem to go out but this one is still holding strong. The grip the material is holding up and I play at least 4 hours a day. Even though it is pricey I highly recommend it.
