    This is a very high quality, hefty feeling controller. I really do like the paddles on the rear, however I do not use all 4 that were included. Also the charging case as the charging station is cool too.

    Been using this controller for a month now on PC. The included instructions could be better, especially for non-tech people but the controller itself feels great.

    My thumbs used to hurt from clicking in the sticks when sprinting. I map L3 and R3 to paddles and my fingers are thanking me. I had the elite 1 and good grips pealed off. This one isn't supposed to have that problem.

    Love the second generation of this controller. Awesome product. Love the ability to put resistance on your paddles while playing games. Rumble packs in the controller can not be beat. Highly recommend

    My husband absolutely loves this controller! He was hesitant at first thinking it can’t be worth the price but he’s super pleases with it! I think it was his favorite Christmas gift this Christmas!
