    Not as impressed as i thought i would be. Dont get me wrong, its still a great controller but for 3x the cost of a regular controller, I was expecting something more. Would only recommend if you want to utilize the buttons on the backside.

    Good controller though problems with drift occur and I've had to replace. I like the controller, though a bit heavy, and Best Buy honors their warranty.

    This controller is awesome. The price is high, but the materials and build of it make it feel very expensive and worth every penny. It's a little heavier, the buttons feel way better, and it's easy to set up. Worth every penny.

    It is a good controller but to be honest after a year it starts to fail.. it is my 3rd controller. The first controller the RB started to fail. The next one it was the right stick. Just make sure you buy the geek squad protection

    You probably don't need this controller. It costs as much as a new Xbox these days, and doesn't really do much differently than the standard Xbox One controller. It is clearly built like a tank and is a very impressive piece of engineering... but you probably won't find it worth the price of admission.

      Hey Dennis,

      Thank you for sharing your perspective on Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. It's true, the Elite Series 2 isn't for everybody -- it's been designed with the most passionate gamers in mind, especially those who play competitively. But if you're looking for the ultimate in construction, durability, and customization, we hope you'll agree it's hard to beat.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck
