    I was very disappointed with this product after loving my original Elite controllers. It got stick drift within the first few months of owning it. Microsoft did repair it, but it took almost 6 months to receive back. Now the B button is jamming. I highly recommend getting the protection plan.

    Aesthetically better than the first one, the grips feel way better as well and it doesn’t get as dirty as the first one when holding it. The buttons are smooth and the new shirt throw trigger settings are plus!
