    The controller is amazing if you can get one that last more then a few weeks; I have multiple that have last months. In less month I have gone through two of them. One had the spring In the left not stick snap. And I returned that one with my warranty on Jan 10th and this new one is already refusing to connect with the being wired.

    This controller, although fantastic when purchased. It started to break down on me a month in to using it, where it would not turn on unless I connected the controller to a power source, even after charging. For the price, issues like this should not be happening at all $180 plus protections plan. The sad part is that without the issues, this would of been the best controller for x box hands down. In fact, I returned it and miss it. I hope Microsoft comes out with the Elite 3 with better software/hardware because I would purchase them in a heart beat if improvements are made.

    This controller replaced my series 1 controller. I like how you can tighten the sticks and it is still a comfortable grip. The only thing is the grip is slicker then the original so it slides a little more.

    Great controller overall and a very nice premium feel! I bought it for my PC but you may need an external WiFi/ Bluetooth receiver. The one on my motherboard was really bad and the controller kept disconnecting

    I really like this controller and its predecessor and would recommend it. Except that 4 months into owning it the left joystick has started to drift up. Of course this is after my 90 days is up. I have found this an ongoing problem in Xbox controllers not just the elite. Yet with a price tag of 179 I expect a little better quality. If you purchase definitly buy the extended warranty through Best Buy.
