    It was hard to justify 180 dollars for a controller. But once you hold, and feel, and play on an elite series 2 controller. It will be worth every penny.

    Good controller do a while, but it’s a common issue for the RB button to stop working after awhile. I don’t ever throw my controller or drop it, it just happened

    So far this seems to be a good controller in the month I’ve owned it. The paddles on the back side take a little bit to get used to, but once you get used to it things can be done much quicker. I like the ability to change out the d-pad and the joystick pads. And the case is really nice as well.

    Pricy, but worth it if you spend a significant amount of time on the console. Sized and weighted perfectly 9may be small for those with large hands, though)! Paddle controls can take some getting used to and will occasionally cause issues with unintended hits on a given paddle. Swappable user controls and configurability are outstanding!

    I love the feel and quality of this remote. Additionally the best buy totaltech program is amazing, as my dogs chewed up this remote and bestbuy was able to replace this for me at no additional charge.

    Got this for my adult son who always bought his own equipment since he was in High School and was proud of it. I repaid his hard work and dedication to his college studies with this top of the line controller. He is extremely happy with it.

    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!

    This feels so good to play games FPS games with and with adjustable triggers and button mapping, every adjustable piece to this makes gaming that much more involved with how you enjoy it. Long battery life and a ton of features made this such an enjoyable controller to own.

    Very comfortable especially if you think the regular controller is a little small but it’s not a huge difference. Enjoy the better and customizable parts. 100% recommend product protection.
