    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 controller is well worth the price tag. It feels like a quality controller and it is easy to get used to the paddles on the back.

    Really levels up your FPS experience. Takes a while to get used to the paddles but it’s a game changer if you’re trying to keep your thumbs on the sticks!

    Customization at your fingertips, and a USB-C connect and charge port for connecting to PC without Bluetooth. Great for gaming on the Xbox or PC. The included charging station is substantial enough to survive my kids, and uses a magnet to keep the controlled fit snugly while charging.

    Highly customizable long battery life love that is saves the custom profiles to the controller itself. So when I go between systems I don't have to redo the setup.

    This is my 2nd elite controller. 2nd gen is an improvement from the first gen. Feels great in your hand and has plenty of customization. Recharging station is an added plus.
