    Pros -Best feeling controller I have ever had. Fine controller, smooth, and great grip. Hair triggers are super nice. Cons- Left stick drift that started out as a very minor problem, them developed into a huge problem that custom joystick settings with huge deadspace eventually didnt even work.. This progressed over a single week..

    The controller is an amazing controller and it feels amazing. I gave it a 3 star because if you already own the first elite controller it’s not worth the upgrade

    Fits well in my handle, analog sticks and buttons are an appropriate distance to be efficient in FPS games.
