    I would love to say great things about this controller, but I can't. Not until they revamp the qualty of the controller.it's not worth a $200 lottery that you know the timer is counting down until its unusable.

    Makes playing my games way easier. Have to get used to the extra paddles, but once learned, makes doing things so much easier.

    I have hear all the negativity concerning this controller which made me very hesitant to purchase. I've had it now for just over a month and all I can say is so far so good. It feels great in the hands and the buttons/paddles are super sensitive which I love. I cant speak for all who purchased this controller but I've had zero problems. Because of all the bad reviews I did purchase the warranty to go with it so I have that extra security. All in all I would highly recommend.

    The elite 2 controller is amazing. Why could you charge so much for less . If you buy this controller the (CORE) version. You have to turn around and spend about another 150 for the extra buttons . Now if you buy the black elite 2 controller you get a carry case ,all the extra buttons ,and charge dock for it . Almost forgot and the black on is cheaper then the white one and you get more for a better price . I have both controllers this core still in box just havent had time to take it back

    Design Flaw - A Button

    While the elite certainly does not feel as lightweight and cheap as the standard Xbox controller, there seems to be a design flaw specifically with the letter buttons. When, pressing the A button, it almost never registers, unless I press it with excessive force. I find it to happen most often when moving from the thumb stick to the A button, resulting in pressing it in a slightly upward direction. I already bought one controller, returned it for a replacement, and now the replacement does the exact same thing right out of the box a little worse than the original one. Will be returning.
