    A lot cheaper than buying a traditional elite series 2 xbox controller, definitely a buy if you're boughten a regular elite series 2 controller as all the parts are compatible with this version.

    Great controller but don’t last very long if you’re a gamer who plays very frequently. I recommend getting the warranty

    I love everything about it but the price. Its been about a month and quality/build seems excellent. I really enjoy the controller but i still struggle with how much the cost was. I dont regret the purchase but I dont know if i can recommend someone else to spend the same for it.

    Great bang for your buck compared to a highly priced Scuf. Having the ability to remap the back paddles to any button is amazing. I play COD mainly and the only downside is the left thumb stick(L3) and RB doesn’t respond after constant use. Yes you can remap the back paddles to one of those two inputs. But I don’t think the wear should be as quick as it is.

    BUY THE GEEK SQUAD COVERAGE

    Excellent construction and pairs easily with my PC. I use this controller primarily for manual driving in racing games but serves perfectly fine for all types of games. The assignable paddles make customization an absolute breeze! **Warning** These have a tendency to fail in the first year so I recommend buying the Geek Squad coverage to protect your investment!

    You are essentialy taking a risk buying an Elite Series 2, here are the things that may happen. 1. Triggers or buttons not working out of the box 2. Stick drift may develop 3 months later 3. The controller will work just fine Other than that, this controller is amazing when it works properly. The build is very premium compared to the regular controllers, quality control is awful. I would recommend the controller, be prepared to replace it fast.

    I bought this controller when I was in need of one, it was worth the purchase. The controller feels nice in the hands and the buttons are great. I can customize my controller and it’s settings and layout which is so useful.

    I’m actually rather impressed with the build quality of this controller. I bought it because I keep having a problem with my triggers getting stuck on all my other controllers, and so far I haven’t had any problems. We’ll see if it keeps up, but so far it’s been great! Only reason it’s 4/5 is the price. Quite expensive unless you buy open box like I did.
