    I got this controller on the day it came out and since then it has been holding up very well, I love the battery life much better than last year dont have to charge as often, the remapping of the buttons and creating profile for certain games has made me a much more aggressive and faster gamer.

    Good but there are better for cheaper. If you want a high end controller go for it but there are cheaper options that are just as good.

    Simplicity is one of the keys. I had two other brands over the last decade and a half. This one isn’t as tiresome to use. It’s also VERY responsive. A great choice.

    Not worth the price. The controller is a good idea. But it is poor quality. Buttons don't register some of the time. Bumpers start to loosen up. Stick drift is common in every controller, as it is on this one. Better off getting a cheaper controller with paddles on the back. That way you can buy 3 of them for the price. Of this one.

    I’m giving this controller 5 stars based off of the actual controller and feel of it. I’ve been using this controller for about 4-5 years now and it is my favorite controller of all time. With that being said I highly suggest the geek squad warranty because I am very clean and careful with my controllers and I haven’t had one last more than a year. The buttons become sticky or stop working and stick drift is going to happen at some point no matter what. I love the controller, but the longevity is not what it should be for $200

    I’ve bought the elite controllers for a while now and I love them. They feel great in my hand and is pretty simple to set up the paddle to whatever input I want.
