    Elite Xbox Controller. Performs great. You can even go to Microsoft's site and build a custom one, (Not Cheap). It is fun to make a custom one. Buy one of these for you guests. (They Don't need the cool one).

    I dont know how to describe it other than being amazing to use. The haptics are much better than standard controllers. It feels great in your hands and you can swap out the pads for new magnetic ones if desired.

    The control is amazing when it works but breaks down a little to easy. If you’re not using it daily it might last you longer than a few months before the bumpers fail or you get stuck drift.

    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.

    The controller is just as good as the normal ones be it remains to be seen if it will last longer the it’s warranty. If it does last longer then it’s worth the cost if not I wouldn’t recommend it so I’m just giving it 3 star till it’s proven to last
