Super Unreliable Controllers
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is possibly the best feeling controller to hold and use, however the durability of these controllers is the worst ive seen. Standard Xbox One controllers tend to last me about 1 year. This controller lasted me around 500 hours before being completely useless with stick drift. That ended up being around 1 year. However the other elites I owned averaged 3-6 months before breaking. That includes one other elite version 2. The quality on these controllers is very low. The Razer Wolverine may be a better secondary option for now. Though many modern controllers have stick drift issues. The controller should not be 200 bucks without figuring a work around or modular option to replace the sticks when they start drifting. I end up burning through the replacement warranties and its not worth it.

Perfect Gamers Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for gaming as esay to maneuver with toggles.
I would recommend this to a friendNot bad for the pricepoint.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price its a solid choice, but not for me. The paddles are too easy to click, you have to hold the controller a certain way. Its also a bit heavy for my tastes, battery is non removable. I would say give this a shot and if you dont like it, then go for the scuf instinct pro.

Plagued by unresponsive buttons
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately I got the controller that is part of the well known hardware issue with unresponsive buttons. Specially A button for me. Wonder when Microsoft will issue a recall of all the affected controllers. Without those issues this controller was awesome.
