    Love this controller! I like the weight, it feels solid. I did have an issue with stick drift in the left stick after about a week, but BB sent me a new one overnight since they didn’t have in stock

    These were Christmas gifts for my 14 year old and 19 year old. They love them and how customizable they are. I did catch them on sale plus got to use my best buy earned credits so that was great as well.

    I love this controller, it feels very premium in my hands. Super nice material, and the buttons are satisfying to press. Decent bit of customization you can do with the physical buttons, then switch the “button binds” in the accessories app. I unfortunately broke my old one, but I loved the controller enough to where I may end up buying another

    This is is my 2nd elite purchase. As with all controllers there will be wear and stick drift, but I can’t think about playing with something other than an elite.

    The best controller on the market. Great grip light weight and the buttons can be configured to the way you like them. If you have a XBox get this controller!

    Pros -The controller feels great and has a good weight to it -It makes a good 200 dollar paper weight when it inevitably breaks. Cons -Stick drift in first month and a half -Bumper buttons stopped working properly within first month -Rubber pieces that let you adjust trigger pull fell off within days after never even using them -Probably wouldn’t make as good of a paper weight because it would some how find a way to drift off the table or fall into pieces. All in all the features it did have were great and after the first one I bought I did buy a second and now have 1 week on it with no issues but after a total of three warrantee issues with the first one my expectations are super low for this one. Hopefully I am wrong and can update this if I am but all in all my experience with this controller leaves much to be desired. And I only bought the second one cause it went on sale and it was the best option available at my local Best Buy at the time

    Ive been using elite controlles since the first edition. I play primalrily fps titles as well as Smite competitively. Other than the weight of the elite controllers, ive enjoyes them. They're comfortable and versatile. Paddle options and custimization are very good and the overall quality of the build is pretty good. Had it not been for me dropping my controllers fairly regularly, i wouldn't have to replace them. Overall, very good contriller.

    Having an this as an option to purchasing the entire elite is cost effective for me since I have a full version model that suffers from stick drift and faulty button contact. Thus, my old paddles and other accessories fit perfect.
