    Upgraded from a regular xbox comtroller to this and it is amazing! Has weight to it for a solid feel and all the buttons push nicely. The joysticks feel real good with no travel.

    Pre Ordered as soon as it was announced, waited months for the release, and the right thumbstick jams... All other functions worked. The paddles are wayyy smaller on the Series 2 compared to the original, But this controller overall feels better. Also the rubber grip wont peel off version 2. The front and back shell are textured now, vs glued on rubber grips. Going to exchange for another one.

    Controller is great. Quality feels good. But man you just have to roll the dice. Some of these are flawless and will last for years, but my first one wouldnt even turn on. Thank gosh for best buy return policies!!

    Excellent battery life, nice and smooth handling. My only complaint is that the the RB stopped working after about 7 months, luckily i had it under warranty and got a free replacement.

    Its amazing to the touch and far more reliable than the standard controller. You can just tell the difference in quality between the standard controller and the elite controller.

    Great Controller, love how it comes with interchangeable thumb sticks, the grip is nice, and the plus is the charging pad. The weight is a little heavy but not bad.

    Expensive, but the customization is nice, on windows download the app to get the full benefit of the controller, and get the adapter otherwise you need to stay wired, and really what's the point since it Microsoft finally put a rechargeable battery in their contollers

    Ever since being able to afford one, I have always used these. The reason for the four-star is that I know in six-seven months I will need top use the warranty support for stick drift or a broken bumper. The reason why not three or lower, I have total rewards and BestBuy is good with replacement controllers.

    You are essentialy taking a risk buying an Elite Series 2, here are the things that may happen. 1. Triggers or buttons not working out of the box 2. Stick drift may develop 3 months later 3. The controller will work just fine Other than that, this controller is amazing when it works properly. The build is very premium compared to the regular controllers, quality control is awful. I would recommend the controller, be prepared to replace it fast.

    This feels so good to play games FPS games with and with adjustable triggers and button mapping, every adjustable piece to this makes gaming that much more involved with how you enjoy it. Long battery life and a ton of features made this such an enjoyable controller to own.
