    I have had a few identical models, and they all suffer from drift within days of use and broken bumpers after a few months

    While I usually play with a mouse and keyboard, if you’re making the move from console to PC like I did, this controller is a must have for FPS type games!

    I've been a Playstation/Xbox fanboy since the beginning! But wow, the Elite series 2 controller is a piece of art. This is the best controller feel I have ever got from any controller on any system ever, hands down. Well done Xbox!

    It’s definitely a controller. If you are going to use the back paddle buttons. It might be more worth it for you. But I feel like a controller with swappable thumb stick modules would be better incase of stick literally just replace the stick. It just feels like a heavy Xbox controller.

    Loved the first generation and love this one even more. Mine unfortunately broke and getting a new one is seemingly impossible for some reason, but seriously still give this product 10 stars out of 5. Nothing like it.
