    Great controller to use, when it works. I am about to send in my third controller back for warranty repairs in 5 months. Issues include stick drift, buttons sticking, and double pressing buttons with only a single input.

    They aren’t durable like they use to be. The left and right bumpers (LB &RB) fails after a few months. It’s great when it works though

    “B” button broke in 10 days - disappointing

    Pros: battery built in. upgrade to rubber design to prevent peeling (we will see), hair trigger manual instead of on console settings, all black (preference), slightly longer cord, new cord connection it’s slightly bigger than previous model, Cons: button haptics are not as crisp, button stuck within 10 days, internal battery makes it heavier as it’s not removable, all black with no accents (green & silver) which was on previous model (personal preference), does not come with two long stick options just one, doesn’t last long, 10 days old and it broke, have to use my original elite from years ago which feels so much better, lighter and responsive in hand. Unfortunately they totally stopped making the elite a couple months back. Will be getting a replacement soon and will report back periodically with updates. Hopefully with an upgrade to the star count.
