    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    A year later review: Bumpers are poor and don't work 60% of the presses you do, so you have to make your paddle buttons the bumpers. The top smaller bumpers don't work 50% of the time anymore. Both of the sticks are really loose so you have stick drift if you don't have a decent sized dead zone

    Perhaps it's just mental, but having the pro controller, that's wired to the consul, makes me feel that there's no delay, and the performance shows ( probably just mental, but I like it).

    Searched for best gaming controller for PC because I'm not good with mouse and keyboard and this came up. Worked out well since I have an Xbox Series X so I get to use it for both now. It was a little adjustment for Playstation but I wouldn't go back now.

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    Awesome gift/investment for a gamer. I gifted this to my husband and he has found a controller that adjusts to him since you can use it based on your own preference. He is obsessed with this, and he’s not going back to the older versions. It’s awesome !!

    Best controller imo hands down for any console. I use this on PC, even though I have a ps5 I can say this controller is the bees knees. still using it years later. Geeksquad replacement is worth it to get a $200 controller brand new 2 years later

    I would give this controller 5 stars because when it works, it's phenomenal. It feels great, the sticks are solid, the quality of the materials is fantastic. HOWEVER, I swapped mine out three times because the "A" button doesn't register half the time. You have to press it a very precise way, directly center, for it to register, otherwise, nada. Playing games where you quickly need to jump like The Messenger are impossible to play on this. I don't know what the deal is but I've seen this problem with the "A" button all over the internet. I cannot recommend this as something THIS expensive should not have such a widespread and fundamental problem.

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.

    Absolutely love this thing. Its significantly cheaper than a scuff or a battle beaver, but it has the same (if not, better) build quality. Battery life is also unmatched
