    Unfortunately it had to be returned because one of the thumb sticks would stick in whichever direction it was pushed. But I'm sure overall they are fine. I simply got a replacement and have not had any problems with the 2nd elite controller since.

    So I’ve had two of these now. Replaced my first one under warranty. The first 6 months this controller is awesome... then it just breaks down, from buttons that stop working, the thumbsticks drifting and it looses connection regularly even with a full charge. Multiple resets and keeping updates on this controller, still have issues. I have the besbuy extended warranty and was told the only thing I could do is to wait. Either wait with a gift card or just hit the buy button when the unit is back online. Why not I turn it in and get my name in line like we do with our customers at the place where I work. Bestbuy is dying business model because they stopped caring for any member.... Ugh... so frustrated.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This is definitely a step up from my basic controller. It is a big investment but for what you get, it’s worth the cost.

    only reason is not 5 stars is the grip started to fall off 6months after purchasing. For the price i dont find this acceptable, but the upgrades this has over the first gen version it is much better over all and i daily drive this still to the day.
