    I love this controller, the paddles are shorter than the series 1, so no more accidental presses if you set it down on the couch or something. Only small problem I had, was the rubber tips on the trigger adjustments kept falling off. Never affected performance or anything like that though.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one broke in less than one year and I didn't buy the best buy warranty. This time around I did. These controller have nice features but they tend to fall apart quickly.

    Great upgrade from a regular controller. The trigger selection is a game changer. And the interchangeable parts is a a big plus too. I’ve had the controller for almost a year and so far so good!

    Controllers experience drift alot. Other than that they work great. I recommend warranties on these since the drift occurs on all of them.

    FYI They don't come with paddles...Still a great controller, love the trigger locks and and stick tightening. If you play COD this is a must...If you're brave enough you can buy the paddles on their own.
