    It’s an elite controller. What’s not to like? Just get ready to learn a new way to play with the extra paddles. Definitely worth the extra $$

    I bought this item less than a month ago and it already has stick drift. Pretty disappointing. It’s not a major issue right now as the stick drift isn’t too severe and I mostly play games where I’m always using the stick, but on games where it’s left untouched for a little bit it’s quite annoying. For $180 I’m pretty disappointed that it already has this issue since cheap $20 dollar controllers have gone for years without issue.
