    I love this controller, but they never last more than a year or two. For the money, it should have a better warranty,

    I have purchased two of these and both are starting to having issues. One controller randomly disconnects from my Xbox and the other is starting to have stick drift issues. They work great, but definitely buy GSP.

    This controller is great for the xbox. Has multiple button settings which comes in handy if you want to change what each button does but the game doesnt allow it.

    I had the gen 1 elite and loved it so naturally I purchased the gen 2 and immediately fell in love with this one just as much as I did with the first one. The controller feels comfortable while playing for long amounts of time with the rubber grips all around and I love the fast charge with the new usb-c charger.

    This is the best controller, unfortunately the rubber pads don’t last that long, maybe 10-11 months for heavy use (20 hrs a week), my advice, add the geek squad warranty, totally worth it. For that reason I don’t do the 5 starts

    It a good upgrade from the series 1. I just wish the rubber grip backing. Other then that it’s a great controller for shooters and racing games.
