    Needed to replace my original elite series 2 controller but didn’t want to spend full price to get all the extras that I already have. This option is great in my opinion. Lower cost, same high quality and if you already have the paddles, case, sticks and charger or if you don’t care about those, this fits the bill.

    This went on sale for $85.00 so I got 2 for xmas presents. Huge upgrade from the standard models. I love the adjustable trigger controls and the feel from the joy sticks. I have not gotten a chance to use the app and remap button configurations yet but, I'm sure it will work well with any FPS game.

    Awesome! If you’re wondering if it’s worth the big price tag, buy it. It’s more configurable than you think and rarely needs charging!
