I have to break down and get this. Even though it’s expensive, I play a ton of competitive games, so it’s worth the investment for me. Can’t wait to play Gears 5 with it. What about you guys?

As awesome as it looks, probably not. I bought and ended up returning the current Elite, because it was just overkill for me and wasn't worth the $$.

But it looks like another amazing piece of hardware. MS do make the best controllers.

I don't think I'm elite enough for something like that.

No, but I might get the first one because it should go down in price to clear stock for the second one.

I would pay $150 for it, I'm not elite enough to pre-order.

Basically if a revised Switch releases this holiday, I'll get it, if not I'll spend money on Elite controller. I already got like $45 in points at GS, so could get the $150 outof pocket I was looking.

I bough this the current Elite Controller and loved every minute of gameplay when using it. My love instantly turned into hate when I saw the cursor instantly “drift” upward.

Any ideas on how I can get it fixed?

I saw a lot of people online say that their controllers died only a few weeks after use and some others even said that the stick drift was there even out of the box. If this is the case, why does this happen compared to the regular controller? Does Microsoft outsource its production?

I am looking to buy a controller for my PC from the xbox design labs website (the one where you colour your own https://xender.vip/ controller whatever way you like) the elite version comes with a bag and a charging case as well as more colour options so that's a good deal. But the reviews online and from other posters. They all say that the controller is just very badly made. What do you think? Have you tried it?
