    I was skeptical about spending 150 bucks for a controller. After a few weeks, I don’t think I could go back. The ability to customize all the buttons, the addition of the four paddles, the feel, and long battery life makes this a worthy purchase. Took a few days to get used to the extra buttons, but well worth it. Highly recommended!!

    Feels nice and premium works well, has pretty cool customization options and looks great. The charging case works well and is pretty convenient and the cable is nice and braided.

    I own the first one which is great. I bought the new and it is 10 times better. Tension control thumb sticks are awesome! Smaller paddles which is great cause I used to accidentally hit the bottom ones on the series one. Not sure why some people are saying the controller is slippery, cause I don’t have issues with that. Nothing negative to say about the controller at all

    I don't know anything about games or controllers, but my child loves it. He tells me that with this controller he was able to play better which gives him an advantage to win the games and it saves me from buying batters. He also said that he can play and charge while using it. Battery life last for hours.

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.

    Love the controller but like all controllers they end up drifting and sticking buttons. I purchased the warranty and have exchanged for replacements without issue.

    This is by far the best wireless and probbly wired controller on the market. Purchased after another wired premium brand controller broke. This has similar options, just minus 2 buttons. Should have bought this one from the beginning. Best feel and layout in my opinion for a controller. Only negative is the dish comes loose easily.

    I have the first elite series and the second one I also bought as well. It is awesome too. It is expensive but it is a huge difference to use this in competitive matchups such as call of duty. You get a big advantage having this to customize much more and triggers and to change the feel layout of the controller how You want it to be!!

    Fantastic controller with excellent preset options, alternate triggers and battery life. Switched from buying direct ( this is my 6th controller) to Best Buy as RB inevitably fails and Best Buy protection plan is the best.
