    I had my doubts with this controller seeing how many people had an issue with the previous model. Everything has held up well. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for having to adjust everything from a memu. Compared to other cheaper controllers that you can program the padels on the fly... mid game.

    For the most part has worked exceptionally well since it was purchased. As of right now, a couple of the buttons are getting sticky like something is in them, but I've been careful about keeping it clean so I'm not sure why. Other than that, it's been a great purchase and would recommend / buy another if I need it to.

    good controller with nice weight to it but unfortunately microsoft makes it using cheap lego material. ive had to return this thing like 5 times and now the warranty has expired and i dont want to buy another. bumpers go out first and fast and grips peel bad after a while. getting beat down in games because left and right bumpers dont work.

    Mid grade but at least it's first party. Sad that this is the best they can do. No screenshot button, terrible build quality or consistency, in had to buy 3 before I got one with both working bumpers and A button. Premium feel but way too heavy, plus too small for my man hands. Overall i wish it were better but I will use it, especially for the under side paddles. At this point I can't game without them.

    This controller replaced a white one we had that broke. My son still uses this controller every time he plays his game. I don't know too much about gaming but my son speaks highly of this controller. BUY THE WARRANTY!

    I've had this for a couple years now and can definitely recommend it for quality. It is built strong and weighs heavier than the standard controller which I find more comfortable when gaming. I like the flippers on the back that you could map actions to. I get a lot of use out of it in Battlefield V.

    Did not realize twisting the joystick makes it come off. During street fighter the joystick gets loose and i have to re tighten during a fight.

    Bad a** controller ! The paddles take some getting used to and the customization is crazy . The only downside though is that buttons do sometimes take some force to work, can’t lightly tap it or it might not register other than that great controller

    Great controller, the grips are amazing and the the buttons are very smooth. It’s a rechargeable controller, all you have to do it out it in the case when you’re done and it will be ready for next time you play. Have not had any issues with it but so far, it’s definitely worth it.

    It’s what you’d expect from an elite controller but for some reason this one doesn’t come with the variety of customization out the box. So you have to buy separately.
