    I love this controller. I've bought it a couple of times over. I only wish it didn't have plastic analog insides.

    I LOVE THIS CONTROLLER! It is a great quality product worth what you are paying in the long run just by saving you money on AA batteries! I completely recommend this and buying the warranty as well, because you never know what could happen but it will and they do a good job at replacing your stuff with their warranty. I fully recommend!

    I like the durability and easy adjustments but its a bit heavy. Not too bad for the price. I just wish the bottom paddles were placed differently since I'm used to playing on a Scuf. I find it too easy to accidentally press the paddles with how I grip the controller. Over all a great controller!

    I luv this controller. The weight and grips around the sides, gives a great feel in your hands. Also luv that the joysticks and d-pad are pop outs makes for changing easy and quick.

    Solid controller. Like the new adjustments to the joysticks and the 3 adjustments for the triggers. Feels sturdier than the v1. Has connectivity issues. May just be a bug with the new xbox. Overall its a great buy if you are serious about gaming or just like to adjust the controls.

    Bought it as a gift to somebody & somehow the controller still had a small drift. Something I didn’t expect with such expensive controller. Past the return date so nothing I could’ve done anyways

    I was a on the fence when deciding to purchase the Elite Series 2 because I've seen tons of feedback about stick drift but Im glad I went through with the purchase, with a few tweaks in the settings to make the stick not so sensitive I've experienced no stick drift. The build quality is top notch and a huge improvement from the first series!

    Great controller, love the grips and looks cool. Only complaint is it disconnects randomly. Seemingly when I’m playing zombies and then I die. Microsoft hasn’t issued a patch yet but I’d imagine it’s a software issue as it’s not a range/obstruction issue cuz I’m 5 feet from the dock/Xbox.

    Top quality controller. Easy to change joysticks and/or paddles. Rear paddles are great when I play Call of Duty, but what I like the most is that you can adjust the grips (LF, LR) at three different positions, what it helps to shot faster. However, it is not worth it for almost 200 dls.

    The Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is a must for real gamers. With all the options, especially, multi-player settings and trigger buttons. You can modify the controller or just leave it as it arrives, either way a true gaming experience will happen.

    I love it…. So worth it. To be able to remap it in ur Xbox and change ur controller to ur favor. Like trigger locking to Increase fire rate and using the paddles in the back to save thumb movements and a really long battery life and it easily connects to PC and other devices as well.

    Love the elite series 2 controllers. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t come with the accessories pack anymore. You have to purchase that separately.

    Feels great in the hand and have not had any issues with it thus far. However they do not give you two types of each thumb-stick style for some reason. For example, I prefer the rounded dome and the controller only comes with one.
