    I didn't expect the old microUSB model trade-in is still worth $10 that could be used to offset the cost of the new USB type c. Wonderful grip. Not sure I really need the elite version. Open box excellent is a steal

    No issues with this controller. Bought it for my son for an additional X/S controller for his Series S controller. Like the fact you can buy different colors to differentiate between the other controllers.

    Bought this to use on PC games that are kind of awkward to play with mouse and keyboard. It’s very pretty, and a quality controller. No regrets with this purchase.

    Standard controller, the back of the controller is rubberized which makes the increase in price easier to tolerate. Design is nice.

    I love this thing. The design is great, the smooth texture is great. My only nitpick is the D Pad is real clicky, with very short travel.
