    As someone who's bought the Elite controller open box, it wasn't a surprise to find out someone else returned it. This is actually my second one, first was brand new, and unfortunately, I've encountered similar issues with both. After some use, the buttons tend to stick and, frustratingly, they rarely register inputs on both my Xbox and PC. It's disappointing given the premium price tag and the high expectations I had for this controller. While it does offer some nice customization options and a comfortable grip, the reliability just isn't there for me. If you're considering purchasing one, I'd recommend thoroughly testing it out or opting for a different controller altogether to avoid potential headaches down the line. I recommend if you get the insurance as well, at least there’s value in that.

    So far, the controller is excellent. It has a good weight, balance, and feel to it when compared to the non-elite controller. I also got the warranty per the recommendation of numerous sources.

    Well worth it if you plan to use all the features. One thing i would strongly recommend is the geek squad warranty. Trust me on this one. Its worth the cost for peace of mind.

    Great feel. Lighter than the original elite and more durable. Cheaper but you don’t get the paddles.

    This is truly a “game” changer for sure. You can customize it to your liking. The paddles make it more functional.

    This is a great controller. I really love the customization you have with it. Making the triggers shorter is money.

    I have had many different brands of controllers and this is by far the best one yet. I own an elite and many scuff and I believe there is no comparison. The elite two is rechargeable with three settings for trigger stops and perfect grip and balance even better then the first elite. Great job!
