    Works well, no problems so far. Much more capability then the standard xBox controller. Feels more sturdy and comfortable.

    Good upgrade from the elite series 1. The built in battery is the best part.

    Purchased as a birthday gift for my son. He loves it. It is a bit of a learning curve with the additional toggles on the bottom of the controller but a very good purchase.

    I lives this controller. It’s definitely the best on the market. But if you play a lot like I do. But the warranty. Stick drift happens.

    So far so good. It definitely helps with the ability to configure buttons to each game. It’s a little pricy, but worth it if your looking for next level controls.

    I game, a lot (Mainly FPS). I use this controller sometimes as much as 30 hours a week, and while that is a lot of wear and tear on a controller, I assumed that the high price tag as well as the name "Elite" meant that this controller would be up to the task. I was unfortunately wrong. While the controller feels great in the hands and the added control with the trigger stops, the software stick programming, and the paddles is an awesome addition Microsoft dropped the ball with this product. My number one gripe is that the controller is already experiencing the dreaded stick drift (it actually started about 4 months ago but i put up with it until now) also the RB and LB buttons refuse to work when pushed about 70% of the time which has lost me quite a few gun fights. Luckily for me i bought the replacement plan through best buy and I'm hoping that I just got a bad controller. I guess only time will tell -- I'll make sure to make an update if that controller is better/worse.

    After having this controller for a year now, I've decided to write a review. The customization of this controller is awesome. I love the way I have been able to tailor it to my play style. The only issue I've been having for the past few months is that my LB and RB buttons are starting to stick. I've always taken care of my controller, and store it in it's case whenever not in use. Disappointed in the longevity for the price I paid.

    The controller is great, lots of customization options, and the charging station is nice too. The $180 price tag is a little tough, but it’s worth it.
