    Once you use an Elite controller, its a totally different experience. I have bought numerous controllers over the years and I can tell you that the difference is clear with the Elite Series. Love the color options now (This is my second controller)

    Great controller has a premium feel to it. Nice weight and the adjust ability is great to have. The only gripe I have is the paddles.. the scuff ones on the v1 were a little better.

    What can you say about it, if you play on pc or console then you already know this is by far one of the best controllers to get. I would recommend this to anyone, but it's only fault is the dreaded stick drift. It may happen in a few weeks or years but it does happen. Once they add magnetic sticks, this will be the perfect controller but till then its nearly perfect.

    This is the second elite controller i have purchased and it is great. I dont know how long a controller should go before getting stick drift but the first one i bought lasted less than a year before drifting became a real issue. Thankfully i have protection on this one in case the problem arries again.

    I have been meaning to get this for a while, and was able to get it on sale, and I’m glad that I did. This is a nice upgrade from the original controller, and I would certainly have gotten this sooner!

    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.

    Great controller when it actually works

    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

    It looks and it feels great in your hands.. I like the new features like the new adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip and i like the rechargeable battery life of up to 40 hours..

    Great price, however paddles in the back will wear/tear after awhile and a paddle might become a little loose. maybe 6 months in for a casual player. Doesn't affect gameplay too much but annoying sometimes. Also my left thumbstick keeps coming loose sometimes but that doesnt affect gameplay, just annoying.
