    Very easy to use! The feel of this is heavier but it actually is a good heavy in your hands. You can customize buttons for your 3 favorite games.

    Best controller I've had hands down. Also, without fail, somethings eventually breaks on it. First one it was a trigger, second it was a joystick, third one a trigger again. Get the warranty, it's totally needed.

    Everything is improved on this controller from the first generation. Great matte finish and sturdy enough for long gaming session. Rubber grips can still be improved.

    It's a great controller but I prefer the Razer Wolverine V1 over it for the price.

    Great controller, until the bumpers start acting up. Started with the left bumper then moved to the right. Possible software issue cause it changes between them. Only one works perfect while the other needs a very hard press to recognize it’s being used. Still have my previous elite 1 controller and it still works perfectly. Kinda disappointing.

    I think it is a big step up from the last Elite controller. Fit and feel is great and so is the responsiveness of it. I wish the price was a bit less though...
