I mostly play story-driven games and MMOs (Warframe, ESO). Sometime Halo MP and Forza Horizon 5

    For shooters or games with lots of trigger action I really like the configurable trigger distance. My hands are a little bad so reducing motion was worth the cost for me. The paddles are worth experimenting with; I like them for some games and dislike for others. The heft is also really close to the 360 heft which is one of my ideal controllers. If you have the extra cash to spend on a controller, I highly recommend this one. I use it for Steam as well.

    Is it a necessity? Absolutely not.

    I use both for gaming and imo unless you care about the adjustable trigger difference, it’s no different than the normal controller.

    Default back paddles map to existing buttons so nothing revolutionary

    Using the elite controller for robotics is awesome, I can map the back paddles to macros or keypresses and get extra inputs for remote controlling my robot, which is actually pretty nice

    I’ve had mine for about 3 years now. No problems. I play pretty regularly (at least 15 hours a week). I love the back paddles and can’t imagine ever going back to a controller without them.

    I went for the Elite Core controller and I love it. The adjustable trigger distance is great.
