    So far loving it. The only con I see is the the right stick click is way too sensitive. Little expensive for what it is.

    I bit the bullet and bought this. If you can afford it then do yourself a favor and pick one up. This is a high quality game pad which I which existed years ago.

    Worth The Money, If It's Your First Elite

    Its my first elite controller and I would say its worth every bit of the price, if it's your first elite controller. If you have a gen 1 elite controller, i would just stick with that, unless you want upgrade. If you're using it for pc, like I am, I recommend getting the Microsoft USB wireless controller adapter. Even though the elite gen 2 has Bluetooth it didn't like staying connected to my pc for more then 15 to 20 minutes, which this isn't too bad because the adapter is only like 25 bucks, but some people may have better luck with it then me.

    Needed to replace my original elite series 2 controller but didn’t want to spend full price to get all the extras that I already have. This option is great in my opinion. Lower cost, same high quality and if you already have the paddles, case, sticks and charger or if you don’t care about those, this fits the bill.

    Since launch, I have returned 7+ controllers due to RB double/triple clicking, A,Y face buttons not registering when pressed, and MAJOR stick drift. Microsoft's quality control for the elite controllers (series 1+2) is non existent. Ive wasted hundreds of dollars purchasing the best buy warranty with every exchange bc i KNOW the issue(s) i mentioned above will be there. Ive now purchased the geek squad package to try to save money. I honestly dont even know what to suggest to those who read this bc i need those paddles now but literally every single controller ive recieved has been defective in a major way..

    A Luxurious Upgrade

    I'm pretty sure this doesn't make me a better gamer but it certainly is a fantastic luxury. I love the back paddles and the variable trigger pulls. I still get tagged in 30 seconds in Halo by 12 year olds who play 8 hours a day but I feel like I'm more competitive and because it's a bit pricey, I'm less likely to fling it across the room in anger . . . at least I hope I'm less likely.

    Easy to find and buying was a breeze. Wanted to upgrade to a new controller and best buy had me covered! Walked in and found and was able to walk out with a brand new controller!
