    This controller is awesome when it actually works. I’m already on my 3rd due to various issues though. It seems almost impossible to find one which isn’t defective out of the box. Issues I’ve seen are buttons sticking on the face and shoulder, double inputting for face buttons, stick drift, and now on my newest one, it will randomly power off on its own. I’d say unless you are a diehard elite controller fan, maybe look at a third party offering for a premium controller

    Theres alot of negative stigma around this controller. But out of the box, absolutely no issues. Its the Cadillac of controllers. Its feels great, the sticks snap right back to the middle and best of all no stick drift. I definitely recommend the geek squad coverage because if something does go wrong in the next two tears, they can replace it with a new one. No regrats. And use the case to keep it clean, that the biggest maker of stick drift.

    Controller is great, feels way better than the ones that come with even the Xbox Series S. Time will tell if its a quality controller but for right now, I'd say it is.

    Best Controller Ever

    This controller is the only controller you’ll ever need for pro gaming. 4 paddles in rear of controller creating more combinations of button layout. Don't drop the controller and don’t mash the buttons unnecessarily because it work perfectly fine under normal pressure, so anything excessive will cause damage naturally over time so try to discipline yourself to not abuse your controller.

    This controller has been amazing to use. I was using a ps5 controller for my pc but this xbox controller blew that right out of the water. Perfect grips stay stiff in your hand, adjustable triggers, and easy connectivity. Highly recommend for a true gamer

    The shortened travel for the triggers is everything in a FPS game. The paddles are great when racing. The batteries last forever. The build is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this.
