    I love the feel of the Elite 2 controller but just like all controllers, they break. I recommend getting a warranty.

    No issues yet. Pretty nice controller, some of the buttons on the back could be a little more spread out but still good.

    I have been using elite controller for about 2 years now, never had any issues with it. Replaceable parts is a great thing, so you can swap sticks.

    Great controller, no issues with this one. Paddles are smaller than on Series 1 Elites, so there is a small period of adjustment to get used to it but is phenomenal once you do.

    Just too dang inconsistent with the quality. This is my second Elite controller and it has stick drift within a few months of moderate use and the A button was spotty out of the box. I should have returned it and just gotten a regular controller because I don’t even use the paddle/bumper whatever you call them. I only liked the rubber grips and interchangeable sticks.
