    I bought this for PC and I'm pretty thoroughly disappointed. First off, the controller does not stay connected via Bluetooth. It disconnects frequently. I don't have this problem with any other Bluetooth device including other controllers. I have a dedicated BT module and antenna. Second, the controller I received has the annoyingly unresponsive 'A' button. If you hit the button from the wrong angle it just does not work. So even if I wanted to connect the controller via the cable(I don't) it still wouldn't be a good device. Both of these problems are known issues but I thought they might have been fixed with this revision of the controller. Sadly that isn't the case. I'll be returning this. - Windows 10 latest version - Controller firmware updated - Don't have problems with any other Bluetooth devices(including controllers)

    Good product inline with all of the other Xbox controllers. Remarkably well built and the rubber grips are a pleasant addition as is the inbuilt battery. Overkill for normal gaming but totally worth it as a gift item for someone who enjoys gaming.

    (I use my Elite controller on PC only) As a PlayStation owner that uses a Scuf controller, the Elite controller is better. Both have the off-set sticks, However, the Scufs back paddles come downward, therefore, only two are easily within quick reach, and the other two are a stretch to reach further inwards. The Elite's 4 back paddles are all placed where your fingers would be naturally, so access to the paddles are much more comfortable by comparison.
