    I’ve had this one for quite some time now. No issues with stick drift yet, can be pretty difficult to keep clean though. All in all, great product.

    Controller is solid and overall the best xbox controller out right now. I only use two back buttons. If you’re looking for 4 back buttons, I’d suggest the Scuf Instinct Pro. Would also suggest getting the 2 year warranty from Best Buy because controllers are prone to having sticky buttons and stick drift over time.

    It's an Elite Controller, but is the core

    Better build quality than the standard controller; heavier with more quality materials. Easy to sync with your Xbox or connect to a PC. Note that it's the Core controller so you need to already have/buy separately the accessories for the back buttons (I didn't realize that but had them on hand from a broken controller before).

    Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.

    Pros - it is a great feeling controller with a lot of options. It takes a little getting use to the paddles underneath, but once you do you will not want to go back. Cons - it seems to not be as quick to respond as it states. I play a lot of CoD and it seems to have a slightly slower response time than a $180 controller should have. Overall - I like it. I wish it were a bit less expensive, but it is a nice controller.
