Review: Great but extremely minor defect (?) - This controller works great, and feels like high quality (as the price tag should reflect), and I haven't had any major issues yet. The grips have a sort of "sandy" feel to them (not made of rubber), it's very hard to describe unless you can get your hands on them yourself. It does provide a nice surface to hold on though, despite the way I've described it. All the buttons have nice clicks to them, and feel very responsive, and the D-pad uses clicky buttons instead of membranes, which I find to be an interesting choice, but it works quite well. The sticks are made out of a nice rubber material in the middle, while the outside rings have a nice textured feeling to them (much like the grips on the sides). One very nit-picky problem I found though was that the analog sticks wouldn't exactly "centre" properly (as shown in the video). The sticks felt like they kind of wouldn't centre properly unless I physically aligned them to be, but this issue does not affect gameplay at all from my experience. Another super small thing I noticed is that I have to press quite hard on the Xbox button for it to actually register, compared to other controllers, where it feels just like the normal buttons. If I had the skills to right now, I probably would swap out the sticks for better ones (such as hall effects), but hey, if it's not broken, don't fix it. Those 2 issues would not be a problem to me at all if I was thinking of buying this beforehand anyway, so I'd recommend this to anybody that just wants something that works. P.S. These controllers don't come with a cable, which for the price tag, you'd think they would... (2x AA batteries are included though)
Review: Original is the best imo - I've had 2 of the more expensive Elite V2s which both developed the same issue and honestly you're probably better off with this basic one. If you want the elite style just get some interchangeable thumbsticks, and some adjustable triggers from eXtremeRate. (You can also grab a remap kit if you want back buttons but I didn't use those much truthfully.) I'd also suggest get a rechargeable battery pack they aren't expensive. Even if you are leaving the pad as is a battery pack I'd say is an essential add on worth getting. Battery life is good, especially with a pack. Connectivity to Xbox is flawless as it's made for that console. The colour is really nice on this blue although I may be changing out the white back for a black one as it's simple enough to do. I find the size is perfect, it's comfortable in hand and I prefer it to the dualsense tbh. I still have a working pad from my Xbox One so the value is pretty good. I gave a few away to people when I got my Elite and regret it a little but the base controller isn't that expensive especially on sale.
