First off, I never realized that I held my controllers with such death grip until i got the Elite controller. Took me a while to get used to holding it with a lighter grip.

Also, took me a couple of days to get used to it, but now i think it has made me a better player. My average K/D has been about .9 forever. my first few games of iron banner this week were pitiful, as i was forcing myself to think about the paddles (k/d was .5 or worse).

But once i rewired my thinking, i started to consistently get over 1 k/d, even had a few games of 2+ k/d and one 4 k/d game. Will have to see if this has a long-term effect, or if i was just running with the right group of DBO-ers. :)

I would have never have gotten this controller if it hadn't been gifted to me, and now i don't see how i could ever play again without it.

on the top left paddle i have crouch/slide, and the bottom left is sprint. Top right is reload/revive, and bottom right is jump. I've seen where a lot of people map Y to a paddle, but i don't find myself swapping weapons that much, and prefer having all my movement and reload/revive functions on the paddles.

It also took me until last night to realize that i only had to tap the sprint button, i didn't need to hold it down. In the past, i always held down on the left stick with i sprinted, not sure now if that was really necessary or not.

My game has been upped since I purchased one at launch. I played without it recently at my parent's place and it was laughable how difficult basic things like aiming while jumping was.

My favorite thing is how great sliding feels in both Destiny and Halo now...
