    Controller is starting to get a bit of stick drift which is the only reason it's not a 5 star review.

    if you already have accessories from the normal Elite series 2 this is a great replacement to save a few bucks. However, I would not purchase if you don't have or are not planning to get the back buttons. While not that big of a deal I am slightly disappointed that the triggers and numbers don't have the same metal feel they had on the original series 2.

    This control is good enough for the average try-hard. However, there are some issues with the “A” button and for some reason this controller does not respond well with Gears of War 5.

      Hey Reyna,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry to hear there are a couple issues with it. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    This is absolutely the best controller on the market. There's simply no other controller out there that gives you this level of fine tuning, not to mention the build quality being great. Price is steep.

    It’s hard to recommend this controller especially at this price. After about six months it developed significant stick drift, just like it’s predecessor. Since then, Microsoft has replaced it twice for me, which I’m grateful for since it was $200, but that window is now closed and when it inevitably starts drifting again I’ll be out of luck. If you can get it on sale and you don’t mind repairing it yourself, maybe it’s worth buying, but if stick drift is a deal breaker for you just walk away.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I love these controllers and series 2 improves on the original in every way. Unfortunately, my left stick is now getting stickdrift but, that's why you buy the replacement plan.

    Great controller to be able to switch from FPS settings to driver settings. I only run 2 of the paddles. and makes jumping and reloading much easier
