    Learned so many new things with this controller. I like basic, but Elite is wayyy better! I have a fast trigger finger and this makes it that much easier.

    Elite Series 2 on a (slight) budget

    Great controller that feels a little better than the Elite Series 2. The discounted price comes from not bringing a dock, paddles and interchangeable thumbsticks/Dpad. If you don’t use those, this is a great deal. You can still get the pack seperately with those additional items if you’d like. The only thing I miss is the dedicated share button. You can set another button as a command but I still prefer a dedicated one.

    Awesome controller. I was very hesitant on spending so much more that a standard controller but very glad I did. Buttons are easy to change and configure and makes a huge difference in gameplay. If you are a gamer you want this

    1st one had drift on the left thumb stick, Microsoft the was not helpful with their policy! 2nd set hopefully won’t have drift, but if they do I’ll switch to scuff!

    If you liked the first version you’ll like this one as well. About the only bad thing I can find is that the batteries are not able to be replaced. But the nice thing is there is a charger you just have to set it on to charge it back up.

    I love this controller! Not the easiest to set up once you get into the program on your XBox as everything has to be done individually, would be much easier to do on a computer with a mouse and keyboard. Once you get it set up though it's awesome!
