    Overall controller is the same as Elite series 2, the only difference is the build quality is a little cheaper and the accessories dont come with this one.

    I play mostly fighting games, which kills the D-pad on the standard Xbox controllers. This controller is more responsive and feels better in may hands than the regular one. I love that it will be forward-compatible to the new Xbox. Would recommend highly.

    Good controller but 2 months in the RB stopped working. Seems this is a pretty common issue with these controllers. Not worth the price.

    This controller is very customizable. It is a very good no lag controller. I highly recommend this controller. The only complaint is that I sometimes hit the bumper when using the trigger. Maybe they will fix this by the Elite 3

    This is my first elite v2 purchase. I owned the original elite and it started having drifting issues so I purchased another one but I added the extended warranty just in case this one has the same issue.

    $180 controller with some cheap components

    This controller feels extremely nice, feels very well built. You must buy the protection plan because it will break. In a sample size of 3, all three have broken in less than six months each. Left analog stick drift on one, the headphone jack on another, and the left bumper fell out on another. This is not from hard use at all, they haven’t been thrown dropped etc. For being 3x the price of the standard controller this one should have higher quality components.

    I held off buying one of these for a long time. When Jedi Survivor cane out I caved and my mind was blown at how much better performance I get from it.
