    To begin inuse this for PC gaming only, i tried the PS5 edge controller and the xbox elite 2 by far is better for PC. Easier to sync up and most pc games use the xbox layout. It feels very durable and of good quality.

    I purchased this as a gift for my son's birthday and he loves it. He is on 13 years old but has already customized the additional levers/switches for CoD: Modern Warfare. It also arrived days ahead of scheduled to my home address. We are extremely satisfied.

    If you have a normal controller your missing out. The paddles are a game changer. My only complaint is get the extra warranty. For some reason the right bumper seems to go bad alot just replace it.

    I really like the tension control adjustment. My old controller had button issues and the core was a great replacement and I just use my on hand parts.

    Upon unboxing, this controller feels and plays great. Solid build, great response, worth the money. But inevitably, after the warranty expires, stick drift creeps in. This is my 3rd elite controller, and every one of them got stick drift around the same time. Every time I assime after years they would engineer that out of the next model, but nope, its built in. I buy a lot of mid to high level electronics with no extended warranty, and this is the ONLY product I ever recall failing, and consistently at that. Idk how this is possible. My biggest issue is the warranty is only 90 days, when the standard in any electronics is 1 year. So Microsoft know they dont last. The price on these need to come down, or better yet, extend the warranty to a year. Im tired of getting ripped off on these controllers. Ironically, the generic plastic ones always seem to last longer.

    Had the elite and hated how often I was having to repair the lb/rb buttons. I liked it other than that. This controller is holding up better but I still feel like is has it's own issues. I've noticed the right joystick not working at times. I also don't like the options for the joysticks they gave. The elite sticks dont work on this controller without modifying them. But I do like the hair trigger and joystick adjustments. The grips all around are good. I also like the integrated charge station in the holder. They switched out the micro usb so you can't use your old cable but they give you a nice new one. I say it's good but not great for the price.
