    Well built and comfortable to use. Not worth the high price tag unless you have plenty of money to blow on features you most likely will never use.

    The Xbox Elite controller series 2 is definitely better than the original elite. They started with a good controller in the elite but made the series 2 much better.

    Definitely my favorite controller for the Xbox and PC. My only complaint is that it is my second one as the thumb sticks do end up having drift. The coated grips are great, in my opinion, and I like that the paddles underneath have been adjusted in length and are smaller than the original elite controller.
