    Controller is great but tends to lag and joysticks get stuck sometimes but I’ve had it for almost two years and it’s been good so far after I fixed the joystick from being stuck

    Comfortable and responsive! Customization was never easier and the longer thumb-stick helps when playing Forza.

    Controller for Competition Fortnite gameplay

    Bought over 8 different controllers for my son including the first Elite controller. This controller was a favorite besides the inability to endure the life of a streamer. Bestbuy replacement plan is great and bought two of these controllers so that while one is working the other one can be exchanged, however just like the elite one series Bestbuy goes out of stock on these controllers and there is none to replace it with. For this reason I bought my son the Wolverine Ultimate and it is his new favorite. Bestbuy does not stock this controller though. Only time will tell if it can last longer than 2-3 months. For more information go to https://www.twitch.tv/devouralphaa follow and ask in real-time when he is streaming.

    This is a great controller. Customizable in many ways, with my fav being the ability to make the triggers into hair triggers with a simple switch on the bottom of the controller. I love that it's rechargeable and contains the built-in charger in the carrying case.

    The product was so good right out of the box it had a lot of battery in it and I haven’t needed to charge it with the wireless charger it comes with that pulgas into the case. That being said I would upgrade If you have the series 1!

    I wondered if this controller would be worth the money. It is absolutely worth every cent. Heavier than the original but the headphone jack, extra buttons, and charging capabilities are fantastic.
