    It’s an awesome controller for the price, I was just simply unaware it did not come with the extra accesorices and case, regardless the controller is still the same very premium elite 2 controller.

    The Elite 2 controller is good, but flaws remain.

    The Elite 2 controller be the greatest XBox controller ever, but it suffers from the same flaws and weaknesses as it predecessor. The sticks mechanisms break down to wear and tear gaming within six months of use. Eventually the push down click on the stick intermittently stops functioning and you're screwed if the click is a vital action in a game, like sprinting or running. Creep is starting to rear it's ugly head in the same stick. And just this week one of the bumpers began intermittently stopping function or it's sticking. All of these issues should've been corrected with the Elite 2. But instead of upgrading the quality and durability of what really matters most they put more R&D into the exterior cosmetics, which I like. It's actually feels really good in your hands. I LIKE IT, but I want to love the Elite 2. It's just not what a Gen 2 premium controller that demands $30 over Gen 1, but doesn't deliver in the wear and tear department. Will I buy another, of course. And this time I'll buy the freakin' insurance. It was a Gen 2, I thought I would be better.

    Overall this controller has been amazing. It has super high quality parts and is a step above the standard controller. I did have an issue with mine within 6 months but was able to send it into Microsoft for the warrently and gets replacement device easily. Overall very happy with my controller and will be buying another if I ever need to get a new controller.

    Love gaming with this. Stick drift is the only con. I usually get it right out of the box and it gets worse as time goes on. Get the warranty and you can replace it. Im on my 4th one

    I bought this controller to play on my pc because I’m no use to play on keyboard. I would say this controller is a much better than the Scuf controller on quality. I have been using this controller and both thumbs switch hasn’t tear like the scuff. One cons is that price/value have to be lower down a little. After all I’m amazed playing on pc with this controller.

    Great pad, but it didnt come with the extra triggers and pads I was expecting. Was surprised that it came with an XBOX app to adjust many of the settings! Real great feel and longer battery life than a std controller.. AND BLUE!!!

    Lower quality than the standard controller. Known issue with the RB/LB buttons and the joystick will drift. The buttons will slowly require more and more force to push until they become completely unresponsive. The joystick has a tendency to move the opposite direction when it rebounds if you let it go. For example, pushing far to the left and let it go, it will bounce to the right. There is an active lawsuit against Microsoft. In response, Microsoft has extended the warranty from 90 days to 1 year. This was also an issue on the previous generation of this controller. The extra warranty does me no good 13 months after I bought this. The nice part is the rechargeable battery. The customization of the joysticks and such is ok but not a major feature to me. The ability to have multiple profile settings is very useful.

    I absolutely love the elite series 2 controller. The only thing I can say is, GET THE WARRANTY!!! I highly recommend it, these things do break. We use them alot and even though they should last longer, they do not. The bumpers start going on them, joy sticks drift alot, mine drifts out of the box lol. Just get the warranty and u will love your controller, if you don't you will be out 180 bucks sooner than you would like.

    History of remotes I've used: Razor wolverine ultimate Razor wolverine Xbox elite 1 Various standard xbox remotes The Elite 2 far surpasses all of these remote with its customizable triggers and analog sticks. The new and improved paddles on the back make for better ergonomic handling while they are attached. The improved bumpers are a great step up from the elite 1 which I have broke in more than one occasion just from wear n tear. Buy and enjoy!
