    Loved it so much that I bought a second one for my older Xbox and a third for my brother. My first gen Elite controller started having issues with the river grips and this one seems to be holding up much better.

    The elite is a tank of a controller and the paddles arent flimsy or built into the controller so if you’re getting heated you don’t have to worry about snapping them

    My favorite controller with extras this go around the rubber didnt fall off and only one paddle broke after intensive use for 1-2 years. Easy to change layout and has 3 saved controller schemes so less assigning and more playing.

    Arguably the best wireless controller in the market for PC gaming. Sometimes has connection problem but overall very good. Maybe the Bluetooth adapter helps with the connection problem but is sold separately. The built quality is great. Nice to hold in hand specifically with the satisfying weight.

    Vibration stopped working after 2 weeks. It really is a bummer. The grip is also loose/coming off towards the triggers on top. Best Buy says these controllers were inspected and refurbished and certified as working but they don’t work as well as they claim. I got two of these and both have some stick drift and pretty noticeable physical damage, not to mention the vibration problem. Overall pretty disappointed.

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).
