    Best controller I’ve used, I love that it weighs more than most other controllers, it feels very good quality and I’d buy another one if I ever needed too!

    Some of the buttons feel kind of... mushy. I don't love that, but the paddles, customization, and feel of this controller is second to none.

    I own the Elite 1 and still have it from years ago. This is a great upgrade. Totally worth ever penny. They reformed paddles so you accidentally push them. Great controller from a hardcoe gamer!

    I’ve had this control for the last 6 years but I have replaced it every 2 years. One of the bumpers go out on it every year & a half or so. Other than that I have no issues whatsoever. Great control, but the 2 year warranty is necessary for the replacement.

    Better then using a regular controller. The Elite controller is an amazing controller in my book. Playing call of duty for amount of years and playing this game....most of my controllers are wear and tear. But the Elite is holding strong. An I mean strong. You can feel the difference. Buy an Elite controller...it will change the game play.

    Picked this up as an open box. I love the feel and weight of this controller. I’m not a great player but this helps me play a bit better with the paddles and being able to assign what they do.

    Elite controller is the best there is. Make sure to get the warranty if a heavy handed or avid gamer. Will drift after a year, when original manufacturer warranty expires. Buttons might break. It's a controller, a $200 one. Get a warranty.

    The paddles on the controller make it easier and faster to initate moves and action of the game. The controller is more comfortable to use and has grips that keep my hands from sweating.
