    I’m love this controller. One problem though, the bumpers do not last as long as the rest of the parts. Still the best in the market though!

    I love this controller! It’s the best Xbox controller for sure! The best part is the paddles in the back that you can set to be any button on the controller. It’s gives you the ultimate advantage against your opponent!

    Not great quality. Buttons often stick and has bad stick drift. Returned two and am on my third. I personally do not like how heavy and cumbersome it is. However, the paddles are nice and the Xbox logo lights up.

    I really like this controller, but feel it's way overpriced. You can really customize the buttons if you'd like which is great! It has a solid sturdy feel to it and is a little heavier than a normal controller. I hope it continues to work well.

    I debated on this for years and i would always say to myself i don't want to spend that much on a controller. The sticks started falling apart on my last one and i asked a friend that raved about the elite if it was worth it. He said you won't have to buy another controller for life. I broke down and got it and before unboxing it i was impressed with the package. This thing feels great. Very impressed and pleased with purchase. I regret not getting it sooner.

    If you want a controller that feels like something a pro gamer would use, this is it. Very comfortable, and has support for additional inputs and interchangeable joysticks and D-Pad. However, my LB button is already breaking within a year of use. It still responds, but I have to put additional effort into pressing it. Also, the clips/magnets on the back that hold the pedal buttons break easily. It’s great while it lasts, so hopefully Microsoft invests in sturdier materials. This is an expensive item for something that breaks down quickly.

    Improved on Series 1 in Every Way

    If you've used the Series 1 Elite Controller, you know all the benefits it has over the standard Xbox One controllers. The paddles will change the way you play shooters if you just take the little bit of time to get used to them. The Series 2 controller makes the paddles a bit more tactile and they have more of a click to them. The thumbsticks have 3 levels of tension adjustment to make them feel like a default Xbox One controller, an Xbox 360 controller, or something in between. The bumpers have been improved, and the new grips are built in a way to where they won't expand and fall off like the old version did. The Elite Series 1 controller was the best controller I ever used and my favorite to play with, but this controller has replaced the old version. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys playing competitive shooters and wants to take their game to the next level.

    Controller is good compared to the regular Xbox controllers, however after 10 months the right bumper started to give out, luckily I had the geek squad replacement plan, so I got a new one. Hopefully the new one will last a bit longer
