    It was good for a little while, until I started to get major stick drift in both the thumbsticks. However, it was covered by Microsoft's warranty and I was able to send it in and they sent be back a brand new one, and no problems since!

    This controller looks great, and feels great. Really nice premium product at a premium price from a fit and finish standpoint, but it seems to have quality issues. Many reviews have reported problems in many areas, and I found some of these problems right out of the box in the first unit that I bought. One of my paddle buttons was almost none responsive it only worked about 20% of the time. I had Bluetooth connectivity issues where I would randomly drop connection mid game, and this happened daily The sticks have a lot of looseness in them, but I think that may actually be apart of the design. However it is not great for performance Returned it and got a new one, and this one seems to be good. The sticks still have a lot of dead one in them , and it does drop Bluetooth signal just like the first one I had sometimes, but I’m starting to think this might be a total design flaw. Over all the design and build quality is great it looks and feels really good. But the issues with many different features is a problem. A premium product should not have these issues straight from the factory

    I have had other competitive controllers before like SCUF, but this is my favorite. Easy to setup controller mapping and just feels great. Love the layout of the paddles easy to press and takeoff. I haven't had it for too long, but so far I can't use any other controller besides this. Especially when I'm playing shooters just changes everything.

    Simplicity is one of the keys. I had two other brands over the last decade and a half. This one isn’t as tiresome to use. It’s also VERY responsive. A great choice.

    I love this elite controller. It has some weight to it but feels great to hold onto. This is my third one, because once you get one, you will never go back to the other.

    This is a very solid feeling upgrade from the original elite (which is still great). The series 2 feels tighter and lighter in your hand, has a much better updated case and charging cord. Love this controller will not use anything else, and am an avid daily gamer.

    I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

    I think this control made back paddles mainstream and for that it has its place in history. But now there are better more reliable options on the market. If you don't need the back paddles the regular Xbox controller actually has lower (better) input latency than this controller. 7ms vs 14ms, defiantly makes a difference when playing anything online competitively. I would only buy this control for its comfort in hand factor and for playing single player games now days. Also lots and lots of QC issue with button actuation.
