However, the buttons and joysticks feel much more sturdy and well built compared to the elite controller

Wireless connections have a small amount of overhead (lag), while wired ones essentially do not (it exists, but is too small to make a difference).I like good equipment and enjoy the satisfying feel of a well-built controller, but I'm nowhere near good enough for a wireless connection to make any difference

Ive, had this controller for 2 weeks and it feels very well built although not as premium as the Elite feels but still very nice

IMO much higher build quality than the Xbox one Elite

and I feel that the price is justified for the incredible build quality and design of this controller

Super responsive, solidly built.

in the end it came down to this :- If you read online forums, Reddit etc you'll quickly come to realize that the Elite controller is plagued with build quality issues and cheap plastic parts that break easily and on top of that the elite controller only has a 6 month warranty

I like the trigger stops built in something the elite doesn't have

Well these two reasons were more than enough for me to look away from the elite controllerDESIGN & BUILD
