    A must have for anyone on pc or xbox. I own 3 I had the series 1 till after the 2 came out. Never once had to replace anything on it. Bought the series 2 for the new features. Will never use any other controller.

    Not without its faults, this controller is the ultimate package compared to anything else out there. It will take your shooter game and kick it up several notches. Mine had a sticky “A” button, but after 1,000 presses or so, it was normal. These controllers are known to have suspect life spans, so I’d recommend the warranty.

    I had the first elite controller for a long time and really liked the controller, but it had a tendency to break with the rubber coming off and stick drift. This controller is a direct improvement on the first one and is so good so far. The buttons and analog sticks are much more responsive and customizable. Perfect for FPS.

    Love this compared to standard controller. Good for first person shooters and lo NF gaming sessions. RB button has issues with double presses on own and bad stick drift out of the box.

    Controller works as expected. It's nice to be able to customize the triggers and sticks to make it more comfortable to use. As a PC gamer primarily I have this for games I prefer to use a controller on.

    So far this seems to be a good controller in the month I’ve owned it. The paddles on the back side take a little bit to get used to, but once you get used to it things can be done much quicker. I like the ability to change out the d-pad and the joystick pads. And the case is really nice as well.

    Pre Ordered as soon as it was announced, waited months for the release, and the right thumbstick jams... All other functions worked. The paddles are wayyy smaller on the Series 2 compared to the original, But this controller overall feels better. Also the rubber grip wont peel off version 2. The front and back shell are textured now, vs glued on rubber grips. Going to exchange for another one.

    I had the first gen Elite controller and had to have it warranted out three times. Luckily this last time the new Series 2 came out and Best Buy swapped it for the new one since the Original Elite is sold out and discontinued. The old controller would disconnect a lot and the left stick would just wander without moving it. Great upgrade and improvements

    This is a very solid feeling upgrade from the original elite (which is still great). The series 2 feels tighter and lighter in your hand, has a much better updated case and charging cord. Love this controller will not use anything else, and am an avid daily gamer.

    If you like the classic feel of Xbox controllers with an upgraded feel, then the Elite 2 is for you. Though the warranty plan is recommended as most times these do start wearing out.
