They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly.

    Highly customizable long battery life love that is saves the custom profiles to the controller itself. So when I go between systems I don't have to redo the setup.

    Its a red elite controller! This one works out if you want to add your own paddles and joy sticks without having little baggies of them scattered about your home. I have not had any drift issues or imput problems with this, so thats always a bonus. Also, those metalic red triggers and bumpers are oh so pretty.

    This is my 2nd elite controller. 2nd gen is an improvement from the first gen. Feels great in your hand and has plenty of customization. Recharging station is an added plus.

    Expensive and has some faults

    Generally I like it but I found the adjustable trigger on the two shorter settings can sometimes be unreliable. I've had many times I pulled the zoom trigger in Call of Duty and it started to zoom then didnt, leading to lost kills. Not sure if thats a general problem or just my unit. I got this on a good sale, otherwise its too expensive.

    It’s an overall solid controller. The reason for the four stars is the wear and tear. Sticks get dick drift after a year of heavy gameplay and considering the price I believe it should be at least two years for any part malfunction

    Controller was in excellent cosmetic condition, but unfortunately the Y and B face buttons were sticky and required firmer pushing to activate.

    Every one of these controllers will have a little bit of stick dead zone. I returned one for another and still had dead movement in the sticks, I’m a stickler for stuff like that, and I guess it’s just a design flaw. HOWEVER it surprisingly doesn’t affect my gameplay in any way and I play DayZ and call of Duty a lot. Serves its purpose with the double button assignment feature and better paddles (I use lower half gen 1 elite paddles & upper half gen 2 & it’s perfect)

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!
