    Purchased as a replacement for another elite series 2 that bumper buttons wire out on. Hopefully internal component quality is better. Had better luck with the original elite controllers

    First time buying an upgraded controller. Stock controller was drifting badly. There are multiple settings on this. I have no idea what they’re for, yet. So far so good.

    The controller is really nice, the only thing s that the placement of the paddels suck. Its really easy to accidentally push them and its makes it really hard to play with them

    I love these controllers but they do tend to break easily from regular usage. Make sure to buy the insurance.

    This series 2 Elite controller blows the series 1 away on all accounts. Far and away the BEST controller I have ever used. I had one issue with this (the series 1 had many). The first one I got had some issues with the "A" button but exchanged it no problem and its been nothing but awesome since.
