    I had to wait till stores opened back up in order to use the replacement plan I had purchased with the series 1 controller I previously bought my son. After the extra out of pocket cost plus another 2 year replacement, this ended out being a great birthday present for him. I think it has a few more attachments in comparison to the previous series and some more software programming functionality. The 2 year replacement is definitely worth it with the cost of the controller.

    Not worth the price. The paddles could be placed better, the controller is noticeably slimmer than the xbox one controller and just doesn’t fill my hands as I’d like. I don’t have large hands either. ABXY buttons aren’t as responsive as the xbox controller either. I can actually press gently press them all the way down without an input being registered and I can’t replicate that on the 50 dollar controller.

    Great purchase for a gamer at any level! Has a rechargeable battery and case that displays the controller great! The extra attachments allow you to get specific with how you play.

  • Drifting is still an issue...

    So I am reviewing this 9 months after purchase. This replaced an elite series 1 controller that had the drift issue with the right stick. This has held up longer, but I now have some drift in the left stick. I don't play rough with the thing so I'm a bit disappointed I'm running into issues already. 90 day warranty is BS... might need to stick with the cheap controllers moving forward...
