    Was thinking I was crazy to spend this much money on a controller but it is well worth it. Being able to customize and program buttons is really helpful. The reduced trigger pull is great for FPS games.

    The back buttons for the trigger sensitivity are poorly designed the rubber gripping that was used easily came off highly recommend getting the extended warranty.

    used elite controllers for a few years now and have yet to find a better overall controller. Analog sticks get worn out after about 5-7 months, but beyond that, I see no issues.

    Great! I have poor motor skills in a hand due to a nerve injury. The joystick tension really helps me overcorrecting, which has been an issue with controllers before.

    It’s definitely a controller. If you are going to use the back paddle buttons. It might be more worth it for you. But I feel like a controller with swappable thumb stick modules would be better incase of stick literally just replace the stick. It just feels like a heavy Xbox controller.
