    I was worried about spending so much on a controller and not seeing any difference in gameplay, however the control has been nothing, but responsive and the battery life is awesome. Made my life playing Monster Hunter so much easier.

    Drift Starting after 3 Months of Use

    AMAZING CONTROLLER. Best controller I’ve ever had my hands on. But after 3 months of use, I’m starting to experience the dreadful drifting and also the little nob you click on the back of the controller has this soft material on it and that broke off without me ever even using that nob. Definitely not cool when I mainly play FPS games. If it wasn’t for the drift and nob material breaking off this is the best controller ever made. But for a controller that is $200 it shouldn’t have any of these issues to be very honest with you.

    I had the Elite 1 since launch and loved it! Only had 1 problem with the bumpers in that time. This version 2 is an improvement in every way. The construction and feel of the controller is un matched and is worth every penny of the price tag

    works great. Bought it for my 13 year old son. We didn't think he needed the one we bought for my 24 year old son which was all customizable. This one works great for an amateur gamer. We just want one that lastes
