    Well one of the main reasons why I bought those control them because it feels like the alley but the difference is that this controller is a little lighter so you can put a little longer not like the elites the heavier one with the battery in it my opinions and gray controller has a good grip people fill the grave but as a excellent you can feel the trigger button and you control the pressure from my in heaven so yeah I give this an excellent control

    There's textual grip on the back of the controller. My 9 heart old days it's the best thing to put on a controller. Because when you're in the mode turning around and hanging sideways, upside down and twisted, you still don't accidentally drop the controller
