Not a standard controller, very much a specialist item. It comes with interchangeable buttons, flappy paddles, sensitivity settings etc. This is the lowest (non-bundle) price I've seen for it

Sync

Just to add to what theteal said above, It's fantastic for driving games if you want to go to manual shifting, and I find it excellent for call of duty/battlefield - you can set the back triggers to "hair" triggers, so it shortens the distance the back trigger has to travel, great for shooter games.

The weight of the controller is fantastic too, and you'll really notice going from the elite back to a standard - just doesn't feel the same.

just one observation that it is not indestructible.

it looks and feels solid but mine got damaged within a couple of months. im not saying it was a manufacturer fault, but i was disappointed that it was not more robust. as this is a good bit cheaper than what i paid, its maybe not as much of an issue.

Yep, I'm on my fourth one in 14 months thanks to thumbstick drift and peeling grips. Components used just arent good enough for the price. Still prefer using it to any others though as it feels so nice.

It looks like it has now gone back to its regular price of € 149.99.
