    Great battery life, wireless charging is amazing, and the comfort of the grips makes the controller that much better. It is much lighter than the previous elite controllers and also offers 3 user profile settings. Easy to remove paddles and improved trigger adjustments. Well worth the price!

    Comparing this with the series X stock controller. A significant improvement. Good quality weight. Quality metal used. I do wish there were resistive triggers like on the PS5 or a Taptic Engine instead of a traditional vibration motor, but still a fantastic, click controller.

    Great feel in the hands non slip grip the buttons on the back are perfectly placed. The long last charge means you can play for hours, My last controller was a razor Wolverine tournament and it died after one year.

    This isn't just a great controller; it's a game-changer. The moment I picked it up, I was impressed by how comfortable it felt in my hands—the ergonomics are spot-on, making even the longest gaming sessions feel effortless. The buttons are incredibly responsive, and the analog sticks offer pinpoint accuracy, which has already improved my reaction time in fast-paced games. Every input feels immediate and precise, giving me a level of control I didn't even know I was missing. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not buying this sooner; it's completely transformed my gaming experience.

    I'm not a huge gamer that uses the extra paddles. However, the controller is really comfortable and nice to use. The trigger locks are even nice to experiment with in between games. However, I've heard of a couple people that have had problems with theirs right out of the box. So, if you get one that has everything working you should enjoy it.

    Amazing controller overall. had it for 2 months and i do say it is durable since i do have a little sister who touches everything and is able to starch on things easily. i feel like there's drift at times but you can configure the controller to no do so. it's very versatile and i recommend it for its fast set up

    i cannot stress enough get the protection, rather the total plan or the one off 2 year protection plan. both this and the Sony elite controllers will break in less than three months, this is coming from a moderate player who only plays weekends and a little in the week. if you are a heavy gamer do not cheat yourself. in terms of the actual feel and features its amazing just built with no durability.

    This is the best feeling and working controller I have ever used. Using the paddles in RPG's really changes the game, not just for racing. Battery like is incredible. oh the stiffness.

    Feels heavy and sturdy in your hands. Love the trigger stops and the quality is deff there. On the pricier side but i feel that its worth it.
