    The back buttons for the trigger sensitivity are poorly designed the rubber gripping that was used easily came off highly recommend getting the extended warranty.

    used elite controllers for a few years now and have yet to find a better overall controller. Analog sticks get worn out after about 5-7 months, but beyond that, I see no issues.

    It’s definitely a controller. If you are going to use the back paddle buttons. It might be more worth it for you. But I feel like a controller with swappable thumb stick modules would be better incase of stick literally just replace the stick. It just feels like a heavy Xbox controller.

    Great! I have poor motor skills in a hand due to a nerve injury. The joystick tension really helps me overcorrecting, which has been an issue with controllers before.

    Straight out of the box it had stick drift, not something to expect out of a controller of this price…

    It is an improved version of the original elite series, the build feels tight and well built but only time will tell if bumpers or rubber will come apart but again so far it feels better than the first one.

    Got this for my son, as for he had the series 1 awhile back. He loves it, says it makes his gaming easier. Good for more experienced players who are on a lot, not worth it for minimal use.
