    Best controller for the money in overall quality. Having a Best Buy protection plan has been the better choice compared to Microsoft Xbox's warranty.

    Solid control with a few upgrades from the previous version. The built-in battery and charging is a definite upgrade.

    Love this controller!! Overall it works great and feels good in the hands for long hours of playing. If you are a heavy gamer I would recommend purchasing the warranty with Best Buy.

    Bought this to replace the series 1 Elite controller. Happy with it so far. Hopeful it doesn't have the issues the 1st series had with stick drift and the rubber grips pealing off.

    This controller feels solid in the hand. the moment you pick it up, you know it means business, after using the elite controllers for about two years now I could never go back to a normal controller.
