    Very durable controller. I’m heavy handed and broken a lot of controllers. The Elite is by far sturdy and well built. Definitely worth the money!

    The paddles are great for use in fps and other action games. Not so much for rpg or slower play but the weighted stick is much smoother than the standard models.

    I purchased this on a whim because my son said they’re worth it. Apparently he was right. I think it’s the weight that makes the difference.

It's true that once you've experienced its configurable button layout, quick response time, and comfortable grips that it may be hard going back to any other controller. Hope you get a lot of fun out of it!

    This is my second Elite controller. It just feels solid. Also, once you get used to the controls underneath you will never want to go back to using the buttons again. The cost is the only real drawback.

    This controller is perfect. It's heavier than the regular controller which i like, makes it feel sturdy. So far all the controls still work!
