The editors didn't like
Extremely expensive compared to a standard Xbox controller
Including current gen
Right main vibration motor feels "off" in my sample

Only one-year warranty
Feels incomplete without rear paddles
Somewhat slippery direction pad
Controller and upgrade kit together cost $10 more than the Elite Controller
Rear paddles are still relatively useless on PC
Even more expensive than the original Elite
Only a single domed (convex) stick
Not a pair
Front grips can be slippery
Expensive

Built-in battery
Doesn't handle multiple devices well
Only comes with one tall and one domed thumbstick
Can't buy replacement OEM thumbsticks
Pouch on case is pretty useless with controller in case
