    Excellent controller but poor quality.

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.

    Comfortable and good grip. Slammed it on the floor once while playing the new mw2 and still in tact so needless to stay its reliable

    Almost Perfect

    While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.

    I really enjoy this controller. It has a good feel. The grips are nice. The paddles on the back are easy to reach. Programming the buttons is super easy. Some people have reported stick drift, which I have never experienced. I own two of these controllers. I will say I have never paid full price for one. I bought used off best buy and ebay (with no issues).

    Best Controller for Xbox

    Look this thing isn’t cheap. If you’re a pro-level gamer, get it. Likes nice things, get it. Likes to have more options than you know what to do with it, get it. If none of that applies to you, don’t get it. The regular controller more than fits the bill for most gamers. Here’s a quick Pros/Cons list. Pros: -Incredible battery life -More customization features than the Series 1 Elite controller -Feels well built, great quality feeling -Built in dock-to-charge feature with charge enabled case Cons: -Pricey $$ -Slight learning curve with the new features, more so if this is your experience with this type of controller -Mostly likely you will never share this controller with anyone else lol

    Great controller all around. Only complaint is if you have bigger hands it does feel a bit small when trying to scrunch your fingers and bit the paddles other than that. Excellent build quality

    Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

    Feels very solid. I've only used it for about an hour but the quality seems really good. Everything about it just feels like higher quality than the regular controller.

    The “pro” gamer setup of the controller - the paddles under the controller, swappable joysticks, adjustable triggers contribute to the solid feel of this controller. It has the feel of a premium controller, and rightfully so, considering the price tag attached to the Elite 2. Honestly, this controller isn’t for everyone; if you’re a casual gamer, you can probably save the money. If you’re an avid gamer, and one who plays a lot of first person shooters, give this controller a serious look. And if you have the disposable income - don’t hesitate to pick this controller up. Me personally - I like this controller so much, I’m considering picking another one up as a reserve controller.

    I got this and their headphones at about the same time thinking they would be easy to link and use together. Nope! Returned the headphones. I kept this because I think/hope that I can make some adjustments once I sit down and figure how to do that. Still, for my large hands the paddles are too long, as in the way, too easy to hit accidentally. They feel like a good solid build. Aside for the paddles, it seems to be a good controller. I would recommend, but with these concerns.

    XBOX fix the dying BUMPER buttons

    This is honestly the best controller I’ve ever had by far. The joysticks are replaceable and also have tension adjustments. 4 back buttons come in handy when you're trying to do some extra moves when gaming. The only issue I’ve had with 2 different controllers. The RB button seems to be giving out. And this is 2 different controller. I’ve owned this one less that three months and I can see the response missing sometimes. Reliability is important. I’m glad I got the replacement plan cause I’m going to trade this out soon
