    This is truly a “game” changer for sure. You can customize it to your liking. The paddles make it more functional.

    The feel of the controller is nice(more premium feel over the older model). Interaction of the buttons is good. Bluetooth was no issue pairing up. The color layout is a lot more appealing(over the older model). I recommend for the upgrade

    Custom button mapping is awesome. Game changer! Interchangeable thumbsticks and d-pad a nice touch. Heavy duty, definitely not a light controller. Being able to charge the controller inside the case is a nice touch as well. Totally worth the money.

    I love this controller. It seems a little expensive at first but it is truly worth the money. The one downside is the RB and LB buttons are all one piece inside of the controller and tend to break.

    Very high quality controller. Nice weight to it. Great for competitive FPS games. Setting the triggers to the least amount of travel is my favorite feature. The paddles allow you to always have your fingers on important buttons.

    Had to take the remote back the 1 st time due to a bad battery pack and wouldn’t hold a charge. But the second remote has been perfect. Color is cool compared to the all black elite controller. Would definitely recommend. is a bit heavy but no need to replace batteries. And the sticks can be replaced with shorter or taller sticks.

    It's a great controller! However, the A button sticks/doesn't entirely work unless you press down extra hard. The bumpers in the back work flawlessly.
