    I only had my first one for 3 months and the RB button up top stopped working. Bestbuy exchanged it for free. Not sure if it’s because I’m a total tech member or not. I am tho. I had this one for a few weeks. I will update. Other then it falling apart. It does the job. I use it wired, can’t say anything about battery life. I would buy again because I use the paddles on it.

    very wow. i would sell my soul to never have to use a regular xbox controller again. would even trade my kids for a life time supply of these bad boys! if your on the fence buy one , TRUST ME! Your wife might leave you but the controller will always be by your side! for at least the time of your warranty.

    Great controller with many customizable options when you have the pack form the last version. Amazing weight feel and good size for those with bigger hands, no problem with connection on PC and registers fast with no notable input lag.

    We bought this for our son's 12th birthday and he was so very excited about it. Apparently he had been wanting it because his friend has one and we didn't even know it. The versatility is great and we love that it charges in the case. He is obsessed with Fortnite so he gets a lot of use out of it. Great controller and highly recommend for the advanced gamers. My only complaint is how much it costs. As a mom and not a gamer I don't understand why it's so expensive...

    Improvement, but still needs tweaks

    The Series 2 Elite is a much needed improvement over its predecessor, but still not perfect. The thumbsticks are still too easy to accidentally knock off, and I personally think the rounded ones should be smooth. Some pros would be the built in battery life is impressive, and it has 3 customizable control mapping options. The extra paddle buttons don't get knocked off as easily as the series 1 controller.

    Better than the original Elite controller. I've been through three Elite controllers due to stick drift and other issues, but the Elite Series 2 has lasted the longest without any issues.
