Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Series 2 improves on Series 1 Elite

    Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The series 2 is an improvement for the most part. Paddles feel more comfortable to use and hand grips better. Love the 360 style thumb sticks Watch out for: The rubber pads on trigger locks. They might fall off and pinch you to let you know they're not there anymore. Eventually you don't notice it missing. The rubber grips vastly improved on by first controller but some times pop up from long term use. Just pop it back in and it should fix it. Get a warranty just in case :)
