    I love this controller, but it has some issues. My first one got stuck drift in 2 months of playing a few hours after work. Being my first controller with paddles, I caved and got another one. The second one lasted 5 months, then the right bumper started double pressing. Not really sticking, but you couldn’t only click it once. It’s not a huge problem, just a little annoying for $190

    This is the only controller I use now. I buy extra sticks and color matching stuff on Amazon but for any competitive games this helps me not use “claw grip” I am not sure why controllers do not come like this standard though.

    Mid the paddles are weird to get used to so just decided to switch to keyboard and mouse and it worked out even better. But harder to learn but more freedom/ binds to play around with. Quality of controller is amazing and if you’re able to get used to it definitely worth it

    This is Waaaaaaaay better than the first generation. The Rechargeable batter was much needed. I’m glad they replaced the rubber grips because they kept coming off.

    If you play xbox and you're still using a regular controller drop the money and buy and elite controller. It costs more but will last and you'll never want to go back. Great controller.

    Best controller I’ve ever used. The LB on the first gen elite controller gave out on multiple occasions so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen with this one, but as of now no complaints whatsoever.
