Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

Best controller ever hands down
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is too perfect, from the full grip around, to the tension tighteners, and shortening the triggers is so amazing. And then to top of off, you’re able to configure up to 3 settings for 3 different games. Highly recommended.

Don't know if I'll go back to a normal controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I havent ever owned an elite series controller but they are great
I would recommend this to a friend Good replacment for old Elite Series 2 controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.if you already have accessories from the normal Elite series 2 this is a great replacement to save a few bucks. However, I would not purchase if you don't have or are not planning to get the back buttons. While not that big of a deal I am slightly disappointed that the triggers and numbers don't have the same metal feel they had on the original series 2.

Drift Starting after 3 Months of Use
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
