    Expensive, but the customization is nice, on windows download the app to get the full benefit of the controller, and get the adapter otherwise you need to stay wired, and really what's the point since it Microsoft finally put a rechargeable battery in their contollers

    Overall 5/5 the grip is so much better the back paddles help so much and having a case and charging stand is just the best

    This controller is very comfortable and I love the back paddles on the controller which comes in handy when playing competitively. Would definitely recommend this controller if you play very seriously.

    Decided to get this controller after getting my brother one for Christmas. Sturdy, well built controller with tons of features. Absolutely love the adjustable triggers for shooting games and the adjustable tension in the analog sticks!

    I had the first gen Elite controller and had to have it warranted out three times. Luckily this last time the new Series 2 came out and Best Buy swapped it for the new one since the Original Elite is sold out and discontinued. The old controller would disconnect a lot and the left stick would just wander without moving it. Great upgrade and improvements

    Fantastic controller with excellent preset options, alternate triggers and battery life. Switched from buying direct ( this is my 6th controller) to Best Buy as RB inevitably fails and Best Buy protection plan is the best.

    This controller is awesome. The price is high, but the materials and build of it make it feel very expensive and worth every penny. It's a little heavier, the buttons feel way better, and it's easy to set up. Worth every penny.

    I bought this after having to Elite Series 2 controllers fail on me in less than 3 years and decided to try the cheaper Core version to save some money. It didn't go well. The right joystick was loose, and the cap not screwed on tightly and the stick spun freely. I was able to hand tighten it but didn't exactly feel confident at that point. I connected the controller and discovered the right stick was drifting badly out of the box, over 17% percent on input tester. Beyond that, the sticks just didn't feel nearly as good as a standard Elite Series 2, the right stick felt like it was grinding on the shell, not the smooth feel of the original, and the joysticks just overall felt cheaper. The whole controller just felt cheaper in general, and I decided not to pick up another one upon returning it. I'm just going for a cheaper controller at this point. I'm sick of having such bad build quality on $130+ controllers.

    Pre Ordered as soon as it was announced, waited months for the release, and the right thumbstick jams... All other functions worked. The paddles are wayyy smaller on the Series 2 compared to the original, But this controller overall feels better. Also the rubber grip wont peel off version 2. The front and back shell are textured now, vs glued on rubber grips. Going to exchange for another one.

    This is my second series 2 elite. So i advise being careful, because the joystick can be prone to drifting. Other than that it feels wonderful in the hands. It gives an extra level of precision and feedback. That once you've gotten used to it there is no going back.
