    This is a must have for any casual or serious gamer. It’s nice that it has rechargeable battery built in and the carrying case also can change it.

    Buttons only last a few weeks

    First off, I’ll say that i had the first series of elite controller and i loved it. So naturally when i saw the series two come out, i had to get one. And here is where i get frustrated. Ive had not one, but two series two controllers and i wont buy another. I had the first one for maybe a month before LB, RB, and A buttons stopped working. Then when i went through the process to get it replaced under my warranty, it took weeks before i got my new one. Now with my second one, it lasted only two weeks longer than my first one before i had the same issues. Both the LB and RB buttons stopped working completely and the A button is starting to go as well. To sum it up, these controllers would be amazing if the buttons lasted but they wear out in no time and stop working. And its a shame cuz i was a big fan of the first series considering i had it for years til i bought the series 2.

    First time owning, and it feels very good to use. The paddles take a little use to getting familiar with, but overall nice controller.

    This controller definitely improves from its predecessor the Elite 1 controller, the Joysticks are more calibrated and responsive.

    Same problem all new elite controllers have. RB just quits working and right analog stick starts to drift in a couple of months. Buy the replacement warranty. You're going to need it
