    Quality control is non existence with these. I have been thru 3 in the past several years. 2 elite version 1's and about to return version 2. Make sure you get a protection plan on these. Due to all these controllers becoming prone to controller drift. Hints why Microsoft extended the warranty on them due to the class action lawsuit.

    Had to return 3 of these within a week. I have bought many of these controllers. Have never had these kind of issues. Anything ranging from Rb not working to both joysticks not working.

    Good as long as it holds up. The Gen 1 version of this controller broke every 3-6 months. Bumpers and buttons would literally fall off. I replaced it with this one, and the first one out of box had a bad thumbstick. The second one, which I'm now using seems solid. Feels great to use but the durability leaves a lot to be desired.
