Best controller on the market
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly the greatest controller ever designed. Weighs 2 to 3 times more than the other controller but when it comes to things I handle yhey have to survive usage. This controller is durable, effective, has trigger locks and multiple button presses

Easily a top three first party controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve read some mixed reviews out there, but my experience with this controller has been nothing but enjoyable. It is a very solid, durable feeling controller, the sticks are great and so are the buttons. I haven’t used some of the more advanced features this controller has to offer yet, but my first impressions are overall very positive!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this for a month now and It’s the best controller I’ve ever had. I don’t plan on buying paddles, but the handles feel very comfortable and the customization of how far the triggers go makes the experience feel much more snappy

The best premium controller out there.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not without its faults, this controller is the ultimate package compared to anything else out there. It will take your shooter game and kick it up several notches. Mine had a sticky “A” button, but after 1,000 presses or so, it was normal. These controllers are known to have suspect life spans, so I’d recommend the warranty.

Great remote
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Son loves it . It has new features that he likes. Not crazy about the price, but it is what it is. This was a Christmas present. People have said to watch the flippers on this remote because they break. So we will see how long they last.

Improvement on the first one
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the first elite controller for a long time and really liked the controller, but it had a tendency to break with the rubber coming off and stick drift. This controller is a direct improvement on the first one and is so good so far. The buttons and analog sticks are much more responsive and customizable. Perfect for FPS.
