    Really nice hand feel and button response. The paddles are smaller than the first elite controller, accidental pushes are less but they’re almost too small. The paddles from the first elite I seem to be compatible, but I had issues with what would be the B paddle not consistently working, so you could mix and match. The rechargeable battery is a nice addition and the 3 position triggers are really nice.

    The controller feels amazing in your hands and functions well. The extra buttons come in handy for multiple games and shortening the trigger is great too for shooters. The big problem is the life span of the controller I’ve had several of them and they all break. The bumpers are usually the first to go.
