    If i could give this thing 0 stars I would. Controller makes a great first impression, feels nice in your hands, lots of nice features but after the first 2 weeks it’s all down hill. Durability is a definite issue with this, whether it be the double click, stick drift out the box, hand grips starting to come off, unresponsive buttons, you name it. Returned this thing immediately, worst controller i’ve ever owned.

    My kids liked that they could adjust things to what they wanted it to be. They were disappointed it is only rechargeable because they don’t want it to die in the middle of a game. We will see what happens.

    I bought this to replace my Razer Wolverine Ultimate Controller. I had no issues with the Razer controller, but it just wasn't for me. I am amazed with the amount of fine-tuning you can do with this controller. Above and beyond anything the Razer controller could do. The analogue tensioner is a very nice addition. It is probably my favorite feature along with the controller charge dock. If you are looking for a high-end controller, look no further.

    I bought this controller so that I could remap buttons to the back; The idea was to make it easier on my arthritic hands. Worked great, the overall feel of the controller is top hat. My old controller now feels like a slippery piece of Styrofoam.

    Definitely an upgrade from the first elite controller, but still faces the same problems. I'll be moving on to my 3rd replacement for this controller. Stick drift and left bumper issues still persist. If the controller worked as it should, it would be worth the $180 that it's selling for(maybe).
