    Been gaming for 20 yrs....had the OG xbox all the way to Xbox X using the normal controller. The controller started sticking on the trigger and buttons, and I was getting more time on competitive Destiny 2 so I said "what the heck...let's bite the bullet and see". This Elite controller is cheating. Period. By all measures higher quality. You will have trouble getting used to the paddles, but keep on it. Enjoy playing competitive SIGNIFICANTLY more. Would/will buy again in the future, which I hope is a while away based on the build quality.

    This is a well built controller. The only downside is that the face buttons are not very sensitive. This means that you need to use extra force when using the A,B,X,Y buttons. The buttons on the regular Xbox series controllers feel easier to press.

    The devices charge speed over USB-C is very fast with a good power source. An edge up in game being able to utilize your extra fingers on the back of the controller. The magnetic quickly swappable joysticks, D-Pad and, Paddles are truly easy enough to do between games loading. A perfect controller for someone who travels between multiple Xbox’s too keep their muscle memory and settings consistent with on-controller profile select.

    This controller is the absolute worst controller i have ever had because once you get it, it becomes the only control you'll ever want to use. The pnly way i can know something is wrong with this controller is if someone make a better one.

    Every one of these controllers will have a little bit of stick dead zone. I returned one for another and still had dead movement in the sticks, I’m a stickler for stuff like that, and I guess it’s just a design flaw. HOWEVER it surprisingly doesn’t affect my gameplay in any way and I play DayZ and call of Duty a lot. Serves its purpose with the double button assignment feature and better paddles (I use lower half gen 1 elite paddles & upper half gen 2 & it’s perfect)

    My elite controller was suffering from stick drift after about two years. I was able to exchange for a brand new one. Highly recommend Total Tech!
