    Playing FPS game and the Y button won't register the push to change weapons while in firefights unless i very carefully and firmly press the center. I'm hoping this is just a bad/defective unit, but only option is to return without a replacement since Best Buy has no stock available. Otherwise the controller feels wonderful and plays great, but not registering every button push on a nearly $200 controller is not acceptable.

    Love the paddles the design and honestly most of it. Where my issue comes in is the reliability/ construction materials. I’ve bought the warranty every time now as I’m on my 5th controller in 3 years. Always get the warranty always this will break especially the thumb sticks drift paddles lose functionality and the lb rb after a while of using while break. I play a ton Of 1st person and moba so my ability’s are mapped and set up which I love and you can have multiple loadouts for sodden games which is always a plus.

    They took the Elite controller and made it even better. If you have the money for it, it’s 100% worth it and compatible with Xbox Series X this fall:
