    So far so good. Biggest issue is that it won't connect to PC sometimes. I have to reboot the controller or remove the controller to get it to work. A little stick drift here and there but not as bad as the original.

    Bought for my wife. She loves it. She doesn't seem to have any of the issues that some reviewers were experiencing. But time will tell I guess.

    Core Elite Red is beautiful. Love the red cord as well. Do not use the paddles. Love the app to customize every button. Makes a difference.

    Love the feel of the controller, a good bit heavier than the standard ones. Rear paddles take time getting used to, but are helpful.
