Amazing controller with huge flaws
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing controller. The amount of ways you can customize the controller are huge, and the in console settings are also limitless. The problem is that this is hugely faulty controller. Face buttons were going out a little over half a year after it was purchased, and it was not used too much. And this is a common issue unfortunately. I've lucked out that i had total tech so I could easily swap out the controller for a new one. Cause for a controller that costs $170, these faults are inexcusable.

Great Controller

Just fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely an improvement from the black series 2 ones. They tried to right their wrongs with these white, red and blue ones (America!) . They are built sturdier i feel. And if you had the black one before with the charger base and all the paddles and such, just switch the paddles over to this core controller because it doesn't come with any of that. To me it was a no brainer . Definitely xbox best controller so far. The razer wolverine is nice, but the paddles are in a very awkward spot. This elite series 2 is where it's at, better than the original runs in black.

Much better than S1
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So much better than series 1. Little disappointed that there’s not two extra long joysticks as I use those on the series one. Overall feel is greatly improved grips are great the battery life is phenomenal and be able to charge it right in the case is even better.

The Best Controller!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best controller I have ever used. I already had one before purchasing this one, this one is a gift for my nephew. The only thing that I can say is that the price might not be in everyone’s price range but if you can afford it I would highly recommend it.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed, had to return the first one as buttons came broken, and reordered a second, it worked, and I loved it, so I give it 3 stars, rapid hairtriggers, paddles are good addition.
