    Love the paddles the design and honestly most of it. Where my issue comes in is the reliability/ construction materials. I’ve bought the warranty every time now as I’m on my 5th controller in 3 years. Always get the warranty always this will break especially the thumb sticks drift paddles lose functionality and the lb rb after a while of using while break. I play a ton Of 1st person and moba so my ability’s are mapped and set up which I love and you can have multiple loadouts for sodden games which is always a plus.

    The previous gen was great and had clearly defined audio for all scenarios. The mic was a little lacking when compared to other headsets. Come gen 2 and they take the formula and tweak it just enough to give you the great audio with a great mic. Do keep in mind that it does have a removable foam filter on it in case that bothers you.

    This controller is on point. I HIGHLY suggest getting the Best Buy Protection Plan. Microsoft warranty for the Elite 2 controller is only 90 days.

    This thing screams quality for the price I’m glad it’s comes with a case , a nice very long rugged wired and widely charger stand . The controller feels perfect , it’s very grippy and nice premium weight . I’m crappy because I can use this controller for the new Xbox series X coming soon ! I’m pre ordering mines from Bestbuy ! You should buy this I , I use this for call of duty and Mk and Racing games . I’m also a PlayStation fan too bad they don’t have a $170 controller. I recommend this product if your a hardcore gamer or casual.

    Great controller! I bought the original Elite Series when it first came out and was excited to finally upgrade to this controller. Once you start using this, it's hard to go back to a normal Xbox controller. The build is premium, but be prepared to get the extended warranty just in case you experience any issues.
