From the first use the bluetooth connection would drop out intermittently, which can obviously be really bad during games. Now I cannot get the controller to connect AT ALL. Latest Windows 10 build, latest drivers, also tried a bluetooth dongle rather than built in. It seems that connection issues are a known problem that Microsoft still hasn't fixed.
Fortunately I've had no issues with the buttons/paddles/stick drift but I can't recommend this controller for PC unless you intend to only ever use it wired.

I received my elite controller yesterday morning, as usual, Amazon's shipping is great!Reviewed in Canada on 6 November 2019
This review is going to be aimed more at those who owned the original Elite Controller. Although I'll try and make it work for everyone.
For some context, I have had multiple of the original elite controllers. I didn't have any of the issues with the bumpers breaking or the grips peeling. My issue was the sticks starting to drift. My first one lasted me a year and a half, then the second one I had replaced via the warranty after about 8 months. I sold the third one a few days before I received this one and it was still working fine after about 14 months.
This controller feels SOLID. The last one felt pretty good compared to regular controllers, but this one feels amazing compared to even the original elite controller.
Let's start with the new features.
My favorite thing about this controller over the original elite controller is the charging dock. You can remove it from the carrying case for those wondering. I have it sitting on my bedside table so I can have my headphones plugged into it while I watch TV late at night. Now my controller will be fully charged at the beginning of every day!
The new adjustable tension in the thumbsticks is pretty fantastic. I no longer over compensate my aiming as much when I'm playing a FPS! It is super easy to adjust with the provided tool, however if for some reason you lose it, you can adjust it with something you find around the house like a tiny screw driver or maybe even a steak knife.
The third profile that they added will be nice. I'm sure I'll start playing more than two games at some point... But even if I don't, maybe I'll set up a multi media profile, which leads me to my next point.
The new paddle functions! Like the original elite controller, you can customize what button does what and remap different buttons. However, there are a couple of new functions with this! You can now map functions such play/pause, record and screenshot, and even volume control of the TV.
With these new paddle functions, they also added the ability to map a button as the shift key. This allows you to map a second button to each function.
The paddles themselves seem to be a lower profile than the original elite controller. They don't stick out as far and they are more comfortable in your hands.
The only con for me so far, is that the joysticks they provided don't all have two. The dome top thumbsticks and the tall thumbsticks only have one of each, so you can't put two on your controller.
The provided USB type C cable is great quality aswell.
Overall, I'm very please with this controller. At $230 dollars it will not be worth it for most people to buy. However, if you think the price tag is worth it for a exceptional controller, then you will not be disappointed.

Thumbsticks drift brand new out of the box.
