Very well built controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. I typically play anywhere between 2 and 8+ hour’s a day and have been playing on multiple devices for over 20+ years. I can honestly say this is one of the best I’ve used…

Premium All the Way
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Obsessed with this controller! I didn't like the grainy feel of the controller that came with the Xbox Series X, so my friend recommended this. I was hesitant because of the price but Best Buy had a good price on Open Box and I had to go for it. No regrets. This thing feels premium and works great. I'm never going back to the basic Xbox controller.

Very nice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ever since being able to afford one, I have always used these. The reason for the four-star is that I know in six-seven months I will need top use the warranty support for stick drift or a broken bumper. The reason why not three or lower, I have total rewards and BestBuy is good with replacement controllers.

My favorite pro controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love never needing to take my thumbs off of the thumbsticks. I solely use this controller for competitive shooter titles, and it works great! The customization is highly appreciated, I’ve tried many combinations already and will continue to experiement. I don’t personally get anything out of the different tension settings, though. The feeling of the controller is pure quality, from the weight, to all the buttons and triggers. I especially love the D-Pads, but for competitive shooters I have almost exclusively used the ‘plus’ D-pad. All-in-all, a way better pro controller than the Dualsense Edge, and on par with 3rd party pro controllers.

Best controlled, definately worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is definitely worth it! Most basic controllers last me a few months but this one so far has outlasted and out performed all others. Just buy it you will spend more in the long run replacing the cheap controllers.

Worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller when I was in need of one, it was worth the purchase. The controller feels nice in the hands and the buttons are great. I can customize my controller and it’s settings and layout which is so useful.

They’re great new, but don’t last.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are decent controllers, but not worth the money at all. I’ve owned 2 now and both have issues. Buttons getting stuck and even stick drift. I take extremely good care of these and can’t believe they have these issues. I thought maybe I got unlucky on the first one I bought so after a year I bought another one. The new one now has issues and I don’t use either of my elite controllers and wouldn’t buy again.

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought it was great bought as a open box however I later found out the left analog assembly that is soldered to the board is broke so unless i find another one and manage to solder it to the board successfully it's toast.

Solid piece of gear
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Already have a couple but this one was on sale and i couldn't resist. Solid, well made controller that can be upgraded with paddles and the likes. Way better than the stock controller.

Best Controller in My Opinion.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best controllers I have ever used. The 4 paddle option makes it so easy to customize movements and re-mapping everything to my way of playing the game.
