    This controller is amazing. It's so customizable and durable. The grips are truly non-slip. I play video games for hours and my hands to get sweaty, but they never slip due to the high quality material of the controller. I have used all other types of controllers for the PC and this by far is the best.

    Everything about this controller is quality. It feels INCREDIBLE. This is the best controller I have ever bought, to date. The buttons, triggers, and sticks feel very well made and the customization options are excellent. It's expensive but if you care about quality, this is THE controller to get for Xbox and mobile/computer gaming.

    Unless you have an unlimited budget to throw at repairs, extended, warranties, and replacements you should not buy this controller. When you get it, everything is wonderful. It’s hefty, customizable, and has features that are almost impossible to do without after you’ve experienced them. Then, the Y button stops working after a couple of weeks, so you return it. You get a new one that works better - for two months. Then your A button doesn’t register all presses. Luckily you have your warranty, so you now are on your third one (but out an extra 40 for a new EW because you can’t trust the build quality). Things are ok for the best six months. The A button doesn’t always register soft presses, but you learn to live with it. Then the left bumper stops working. You check with MS but you are now a month out of warranty so they want to charge you 100 dollars to fix. Luck you, you have the EW from BB, and if you want another you can pay even more! Now the controller that was a luxury at 180 will bring you to 300! And there is no guarantee the next one, or the next one, or the next one will last. It’s pathetic how little support MS offers for such an expensive and supposedly high quality accessory. Just pass, because once you used paddles with Forza there is no turning away from this dumpster fire.

    I got this to replace my Elite Series 2. Ive had the series 2 for over 2 years and its just wore out. The core is great because I already have rhe paddles. I hope I get another 2 years out of this contoller. Loving it so far!

    I had the elite 1. After many years of use the rubber grips we’re beginning to peel away. I was anxious for an upgrade. So glad I did. It is a fabulous controller. Main reason I jumped was the sale price.

    Amazing, I recommend this to anyone who is a true gamer and looking for an amazing controller that you won’t ever have to buy batteries again. Also the extra buttons you can set to any button and also set up three different profiles for different games. With a switch of a button.

    The controller is very well made and the options fit customization are phenomenal. It's also very nice that it comes with a hard shell carrying case to store it and the extra pieces in.

    Not sure it’s worth the price tag

    I use this for Call of Duty but it’s not much more useful to me than a standard core controller. I only use 1 paddle for jumping/climbing. The deadzones need to be set at least 0.08 for the drifting to stop (this is a major issue in games where you can’t change the deadzone values.) Having all 4 paddles on is extremly uncomfortable and you’re bound to accidentally reload or swap weapons in a gun fight. Good news is they are removable. I have already had bluetooth issues with it on PC so I keep it plugged in. The trigger locks are kind of cool especially for semi auto weapons. If you find a use for all the features comfortably, this will work for you. I will probably be returning this in January.

    My gameplay in FPS games has increased 100%. I love the paddles on the back so my thumbs never leave the joysticks. Strongly recommend if you’re a hardcore shooter gamer.

    Excellent product. If you are used to use Xbox controller this is an improvement, a must get item. Better quality than all the other custom controller, plus all the extra features and changes you can do in the app! Don’t think it twice. Get this if you want to get advantage on the game.

    Definitely worth the upgrade if you are playing FPS titles. Quality is top tier, however the grips are still not the best. Microsoft should take a look at using similar material that is used on the Scuff controllers.
