    A better controller than the basic, but twice the cost with marginally improved durability. If you use custom configs, though, this is for you.

    I had the first elite controller and this is a far superior product. The textures, plastics and finishes are just better. The buttons are clickier. The additional tension features on the sticks are amazing. Just buy it with a warranty.

    The controller has an amazing feel to it. I really enjoy using this controller until I realized that the ABXY buttons need to be fully bottomed out to work. When playing a game like Rocket League you can find yourself needed to press a button twice to get it to work, but in a fast game like that it is already too late.

    High end controller. It does make a difference when playing COD and even regular games. It will be a good addition for the next Tekken 8.
