    The elite controllers are total game changers (pun intended)! If you are a serious FPS or fighting game player, these are a must have. Lots of customization and the thumb sticks are amazing.

    My go 2 controller! Don't really use the back paddles. I like them for the premium feel and heaviness.

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.

    The controller has a good build quality. The back paddle is a nice for racing/shooting game. However the I noticed my controller A button seems faulty: It has a 30~40% chance miss, my normal XBox Series X controller does not have this issue. I am still in the return window so was able to return it to Bestbuy. I did a Google search and I found I am not only one having this issue, so making sure you have tested the controller buttons before playing.

    My husband absolutely loves this controller. The fact you can customize your controller and it allows the changing of settings with just a button makes it super easy to use.

    Great controller. Lots of customization. Get the extra warranty if you get stick drift odds are you will you can just exchange it for a new one.
