    This would be my 4 th elite. Had hopes for the new gen elite but its just a failure. If youre playing any fps game ,this controller would last maybe 4 or 5 month. Stick drift, button failures and back buttons not responding. It was a head ache especially when you play competitive

    Purchased for my son and he loves it. No issues at all. He says it is the best controller out of the other one he has had in the past. He says there a lot of improvements to the controller. Worth the price.

    I game on a PC and it’s kinda hard to find a controller that’s comfortable because I have very large hands but I can say it connects great to a computer works great. I just wished it was about an inch wider

    This is a great controller for the price. It comes already with a built in rechargeable battery and charging dock. This is a very customizable controller with button programming. Customize it to your liking.

    I was very disappointed with this product after loving my original Elite controllers. It got stick drift within the first few months of owning it. Microsoft did repair it, but it took almost 6 months to receive back. Now the B button is jamming. I highly recommend getting the protection plan.
