    Its a good controller. I've had an elite series 1 in the past that worked well for 2 years till the grips fell off then an elite 2 controller that had issues after a year with the trigger but replacements were easy and this is by far the best controller out there

    The elite is a tank of a controller and the paddles arent flimsy or built into the controller so if you’re getting heated you don’t have to worry about snapping them

    Best gaming controller ever

    Plain and simple. Solid, grippy, has a weight, travel case, wireless charge, bye bye battery pack, changeable thumbstick, D-Pad, along with the paddles on the back, adjustable trigger stoppers, USB-C, and custom profiles designed to your own likings. Overall it's a great pickup for your setup or just a controller to experience a different way in gaming era

    Great controller, but flawed

    Such an amazing controller, but still flawed by design quality. Joystick magnets can get a little wonky, and I'm already noticing the grips starting to peel off after not much use. Still, don't regret my purchase at all. They will need to improve to complete with the PS5 controller though...

    I like the customization of buttons and sensativity. My dislikes are far more though. The left stick creeps down so playing first person shooters my player is constantly moving back or im holding it in the “neutral” zone. I have constant issues with the battery. I can leave it charging over night. Unplug it, and it dies in 30 min or less. Mid game with no warning.

    Good controller, wears faster than expected.

    Let me start off by saying, I play Call of Duty in a competitive manner, so my controllers will take more abuse than the average player. But within 2 weeks, the controller began to show wear already with the sticks squeaking and the triggers making noise when depressing them. If you are comparing this between a SCUF, absolutely go with the SCUF the extra money is worth it. But if you are looking for a controller than can just do more than a regular one, be configured, and adjusted in every possible way, this is your choice. If you play in any professional manner, or for 5+ hours a day go with the SCUF.

    As long as it keeps working, this is one of the best feeling controllers on the market. I really wish Microsoft would just redesign the internals and release a series 3.
