    Was a little hesitant at first but after playing with the setting and making all the adjustments it was well worth it! Live having my controls customized and having the additional buttons on the back.

    A console gamers dream. Absolute control (pun intended) over all user controls. Definitely steps up my gameplay because I don’t have to take my thumbs off of the sticks.

    Has a different feel but its gets better once you get use to it and there is a learning curve with using the paddles during FPS games

    I had the geek squad warranty on the old model and had to replace it 2 times because of the grips falling apart, it looks like the solved the issue with this one, only time will tell. The new trigger locks are great!

    For nigh $200.00 after tax, there are too many QA issues with these controllers. I've gone thru 4 Series 1 Elites, and thru 3 of the Series 2 Elites. Sticks out of their sockets upon purchase (resulting in stutters when testing the radial movement while thumb-caps are off), sticks and triggers becoming sticky for no apparent reason (always use controllers with clean hands, no food/drink allowed in game room), triggers becoming unresponsive after prolonged use; thanks a lot AC: Valhalla, if you have big hands you have to be quite gentle. They're not as durable as they seem, so if you grip your controller tightly while playing games, over time buttons will be affected.

    Well it isnt a bad controller but it isnt the greatest either but overall its a clean controller. But it does tend to have a little thumbstick drift after 4 months
