    incredible controller with a huge flaw

    this controller is amazing, the build quality, materials, buttons, everything is very solid. however there is a massive flaw in the design. the sticks cannot be clicked in while tilted at an angle, I read online this was a common issue and can be fixed by unscrewing the stick counter clock wise slightly, however if you do this just 1mm too much it will be lose and freely spin, and tightening it will result in the same issue being unable to click the stick in. the solution for this was to take the controller faceplate off which is very annoying to do and held down but pointless adhesive and put a .5mm thick 4mm inner diameter jump ring around the stick and then screw the stick back on. the process is very annoying for an almost $200 controller when ms knows the issue and refuses to redesign such a simple fix, but it now feels perfect

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!

    Definitely smoother than the regular controller. Has the back paddles and changeable thumb sticks but doesn't last you any longer and the normal controller. Buttons starting to not register when clicked and its been about 6.5 months of regular use. Also rechargable. Would be 5 stars had it lasted long and the normal one

    When you first pick it up you can feel how much better this controller is than a standard Xbox controller. The removable back paddles, adjustable trigger pull lengths, the interchangeable thumb sticks and D-pad, and the textured rubber grips all bring this controller to a level that’s hard to put into words. Yes, the price tag is a bit steep but with what this has for my gaming, I’ll continue to buy them as needed. I removed the bottom two (longer) back paddles because they were in the way based on how I hold the controller, but I don’t feel it has hurt my gaming and I don’t really miss them. They are very easy to remove as well. Reprogramming the back paddles is also wet easy. I highly recommend this controller!

    As someone who has played the original Xbox, I gotta say that this, this is the best feeling and responsive controller I've ever felt. Feels premium to something that you're used to. Can't wait to use it for other games since I recently build my PC. Now, i'm going to play Halo: Master Chief Edition to reminisce on childhood experiences.

    Absolutely worth every doller, its very responsive with its adjustible setting for the triggers to the wireless charging dock that fits in the pro controller case. I use it almost daily wen I play online, from racing games to first shooter games,RGB games as well it works perfect with all games. I would recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys using high quality controller.

    Didn't want the elite controller, because I have no need for the paddles. Being able to change the triggers and stick is amazing. Can also create different modes based on the current game you're playing. So if you dont mind the less equipment this controller comes with compared to the black elite controller. Its an Excellent!! Purchase!

    Great controller. I've been using the elite series 2 controller for years now. Saw this red one on sale during Christmas so I bought it to swap with my normal black one. I always test them after updating and every button and switch worked fine, with no stick drift. Swapped the sticks and Dpad buttons to give both of my controllers a unique look. I use my paddles frequently to play so I can't even use standard controllers anymore.

    I love the elite series 2 controller. The textured grips are amazing. It took a while to get used to having paddles under the controller but they are easily removable if you want. Would highly recommend this.
