    Got a "excellent" condition controller, turned out to have stick drift on both sticks. The 2 front bumpers where double skipping like crazy. The back buttons do not register all clicks.

    Only issue is that it only has three clicks to adjust the thumbsticks, and even on the lowest setting they are stiffer than a stock controller

    Easily the best controller I've ever used. Build quality is much better than the original elite controllers, and I've had absolutely no issues.

    Hands down the best controller wouldn’t even consider going back to the basic controller models . Give you an advantage playing since you are able to adjust any of your buttons & is also PC Friendly !

    Much better than the previous version. A little more expensive but you get what you pay for. The whole thing feels solid and sturdy and comes with lots of ways to adjust to your liking. Buttons and paddles feel great and the “charging dock” is a good addition.

    Pretty good for anyone looking to buy one. Just don’t expect to have the paddles along with it. It’s separate for whatever reason.

    Great controller, I have every high end controller made for ps and Xbox and this is by far the best overall. The scuff’s wear out too fast(I play a lot). For the price it’s best controller for competitive gaming.

    While the price may be steep the value you get with this controller is unmatched, with the app it is easy to get how you want it and make it your own. If you play enough and are willing to pay the price tag it is a great well made product.

    Really good controller. The built-in charging station is one of the best features. It got rid of the old charging stations and rechargeable batteries.

    Love the controller. I had the 1st gen and now the 2nd gen and it is better by far. I do not like that the batteries are built-in the controller but besides that the controller itself feels a lot better than the 1st gen.

    I like the feel and look of the controller but it has a few bug that still needs to be worked out i feel for the price it should be flawless and work perfectly out the box

    Great controller if you are a Warzone fan. The trigger action pull is quick. No need to remove your fingers to hit the other buttons since you can assign them to the levers in the bottom. Little learning curve.

    Great response time. Best overall controller I've use. Only negative is the weakness of the handles to a strong handed person such as myself. I can pop the casing with a squeeze.
