    Better than spending 50 a pop for a controller after getting stick drift every few months

    Very solid and premium feel. With the long battery and solid build quality I could not find any faults. Probably hard to justify the price but as far as controllers go I am not sure there is any better out there currently.

    Got this on sale and am very happy with it. It’s definitely an expensive controller but feels much better than regular Xbox controllers. Battery life is excellent.

    Low-great, high-good

    Every button has an authoritative, reassuring press, but lowering to 4 stars because it's not quite as durable as you'd think. The vibration motors have begun rattling the chassis juuuust enough to where it's noticeable, and the rubber, textured grip has come loose up near the shoulder buttons. While in a different league entirely to the base controller, the Elite 2 is truly great... for ~8 months. Low-great, high-good thereafter.
