    I really like this controller. It feels very premium, and it has helped me with my gameplay due to the paddles. They were a little tough to get used to at first since you have to grip the controller slightly less firm, but once you get used to it, it feels very natural. The thumbsticks are also very smooth and precise.

    My box Elite Series 2 controller is my favorite controller. I can setup the buttons how I want, and the paddle buttons on the rear make gaming much easier since I don’t have to remove my fingers from the control sticks to perform actions, which speeds up reactions. A must have accessory.

    Mad at myself for not getting a new controller sooner. Stick drift is gone! (still suck at the game but it's user not the hardware)

    This is a very solid feeling upgrade from the original elite (which is still great). The series 2 feels tighter and lighter in your hand, has a much better updated case and charging cord. Love this controller will not use anything else, and am an avid daily gamer.

    It was hard to justify 180 dollars for a controller. But once you hold, and feel, and play on an elite series 2 controller. It will be worth every penny.

    Love this controller! I had the older model elite and after 3 yrs.it got stick drift so it was on to the new model. Feels amazing in your hands.Great control with additional trigger stop levels and smaller paddles in a little different location. The only thing I wish is that it came with more domed sticks.

    Good controller though problems with drift occur and I've had to replace. I like the controller, though a bit heavy, and Best Buy honors their warranty.

    Really love not having to replace/recharge batteries. Love the feel. Can't get use to the paddles, had to remove them. Haven't gotten around to tweaking the settings nor controls. Don't really know if it was worth the $180.00, but it is better than the standard controller.

    I loved my original Elite controller, but this is definitely a step up in quality and performance. The grips are more comfortable and the built in rechargeable battery with magnetic stand is handy. I don’t honestly use the underside for macro button commands, but I just prefer the analog sticks on here better along with the overall construction.

    I was skeptical this would be a good as people said, but it was recommended so many times I took the plunge. Absolutely worth it. Feels very premium, and the controls are more responsive. The material makes it so my hands sweat less in longer sessions and even if they do I still have good grip. I use mostly with my pc, and whenever I use my xbox.

    It was good for a little while, until I started to get major stick drift in both the thumbsticks. However, it was covered by Microsoft's warranty and I was able to send it in and they sent be back a brand new one, and no problems since!
