    Yup. It feels good to use it and the bottom triggers make a difference. I didn't notice much difference between the series 1 and series 2, so I don't know that it's worth paying to replace if you own one already.

    Xbox controller is great. Having extra bottoms on the back of the controller helps a lot.

    These open box elite controllers are used. People use them for months then bring them back. Look at the buttons and other rubber parts you can se how used they are . Best Buy is misleading. Open box controllers don’t leave the store and havnt been played with games . But a new 1 they are awesome.

    Very good controller but it seems to have too much stick drift for being a brand new controller. I looked online to see if other people were having this issue and it turns out a lot of people have had this issue over the last year. Microsoft extended their warranty up to a year for the controller instead of the 90 days they first established but this issue should have been fixed.

    Made sense if I was a competitive gamer. It’s hard to reason keeping this for the casual user. The thumb sticks and paddles though….
