A good controller with the worst durability
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are a competitive gamer, this controller will not last for a year. Bumpers fail, drift, and sometimes the paddles don’t work. Causal gamers who barely play will love this controller.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ridiculous input lag on lettered buttons. Overall good build quality charging case is fantastic back paddles are good quality and easy to reach. Dont use this controller for any games related to From Software but feels good for FPS games paddles work and feel great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBroke after 4 months
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let’s be fair, the features are phenomenal, everything with it is an upgrade.....ACCEPT for the thumb sticks.... My thumb sticks had input problems after a few months. I’m talking if I moved the stick all the way over, it responded with the SLIGHTEST movement in that direction. A controller at this price should not accumulate wear and tear so easily. MY SERIES 1 controller STILL WORKS, so my guess is it had something to do with the incorporation of TENSION adjustment. Goes to show you why there’s a supply problem, everyone is returning them and getting a second one and then returning it and getting a 3rd and so on. If you got the money, buy 2 if you insist on having the extra features, or find a different option that will last a year (typically I find controllers last a year or so with heavy play) I’m gunna try the FUSION pro and I’ll post a review there after a while.

Horrible durability
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoyed the controller when it worked. But the joy went away when the controller quickly degraded into a hot mess when a nasty dead zone and sticking issue showed up on the left thumb stick. Made games literally unplayable as you couldn’t reliably do the basic necessity of controlling your character/aim. The best part of this was that it happened just outside of the 90 day manufacturer warranty and would cost $100 to send away to Microsoft be repaired or replaced with a refurb. I expected longevity from a $180 controller, similar to my original elite controller I’m still using after buying close to launch. Save your money, or buy an extended warranty and be prepared to send the controller away.
