    The D pad tends to stick and the tabs on the back dont always register so i just press a little harder. Might need broken in

    So I hesitated getting this for my son due to cost. I bit the bullet and bought to and I am so glad I did. He loves it. Once we got it home and realized all it could do it was definitely worth the cost. It is truly a huge upgrade from the standard controllers.

    Definitely an improvement over the standard controller and it is nice to be able to customize things such as trigger pull depth and the control pads, but not 100% sure it was worth the expense.

    I have been contemplating getting an elite controller for years and it meets all my expectations. Love the adjustable analog sticks and having an option for convex stick for left side. It's a lot of money, but still cheaper than PC gaming.

    I don’t know if it’s worth 180, but hands down the best controller I’ve used. It feels real good in your hands, and customizing the thumb sticks feels great. I use it on my pc and I had to buy the Xbox Bluetooth adapter

    Performance improvement was immediately noticed. I got $40 off retail on the sale and couldn't be happier. My only complaint would be they only provide on long thumb stick and you cant buy another one easy.
