    This should be the perfect controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft really dropped the ball with overall quality on this generation. I’ve had to replace the controller under warranty twice already, and the latest replacement that I received will also be going back. Stick drift, sticky buttons, unresponsive buttons, shell separating, you name it. Cannot recommend this at all.

    on my 3rd...only reason i keep getting because i keep getting geek squad warranty. RB keeps going out... i'm currently on my 3rd controller and the RB (right bumper) button is intermittent again.. if i gotta throw to my running back out the back field it's hit or miss if the ball goes out... or if i have to bring up the pass options in 2K to pass in to my Center..hit or miss...really sucks, because outside of that it's a great controller.

    One of the best controllers I've owned this far. The weight makes it feel amazing in your hands and the button customization on this version is awesome! I've bought two of these just for how much I love this controller!

    I had the Elite 1 since launch and loved it! Only had 1 problem with the bumpers in that time. This version 2 is an improvement in every way. The construction and feel of the controller is un matched and is worth every penny of the price tag

    Excellent controller. I purchased the Razer Wolverine to compare and the Elite feels much better. Paddle placement was easier for me to use. Greatly improved my game play

    Everything is is adjustable. Trigger throw, stick tension and height, and paddles if you want them. This controller has been the answer to every complaint I’ve ever had about controllers since thumbsticks were invented. Seriously though, the Elite Controller has been a welcome addition to my gaming rigs. Not only do I use it with my XBox One, but it connects instantly with my PC to play the games that are better played with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. As far as durability goes- that remains to be seen. No drifting issues yet…

    I like the control really good but I miss the old features that a regular control has and the paddles are really nice but I’m not used to it but I would definitely recommend it

    Improvement over the series 1

    The grips feel way better and it feels like it’s just better made than the previous series. The battery life has been amazing. I’m a streamer and play a good amount but so far this controller has been nothing but great. I wish it came with 2 of the tall thumbsticks instead of 1 and the paddles on the back are smaller than the series one but luckily I just transferred the larger paddles over since I had the series one. Thumbsticks however are a different size attachment so you can’t transfer those over. Like I Said so far the controller seems like a big improvement but we’ll see how the durability holds up and I wish they gave us another large thumbsticks and the paddles were slightly bigger.
