    Controller is solid and overall the best xbox controller out right now. I only use two back buttons. If you’re looking for 4 back buttons, I’d suggest the Scuf Instinct Pro. Would also suggest getting the 2 year warranty from Best Buy because controllers are prone to having sticky buttons and stick drift over time.

    I have been using the original elite controller for years. However, like all video game controllers, it has lost its responsiveness. I was so excited to see that Microsoft was bringing out a new model and preordered it immediately. The new version has great grip and even has grip on the triggers. Also, the new version has three trigger lengths instead of only two that were on the original. My only complaint is that the controller only comes with one tall stick. If you want both sticks to be tall, you can purchase the Kontrol Freak stick extenders.

    I purchase this to replace my wired XBox 360 controller for the PC. As my review title states, this is a great buy. The Build quality is superb, this really complements my Razer Blade Stealth and I also use this for the Project XCloud. I really cannot complain anything, some will say the price, but as noted the quality is excellent. I recommend this for people who likes to play games and have a job to actually buy it without whining.

    It's expensive yes, but you can customize it to your specs for any game. The built-in battery is nice, but also a burden. Buy this controller.

    I finally decided to buy this controller and i love the options this controller allows you to configure. I play call of duty modern warefare on the xbox and i wanted an extra perk. This control allows me to configure the paddles to slide, duck, laydown and jump without having to move my right thumb. If you are good enough or get use to using the paddles you can fly through the game. Its fun to innovate and change up the standard experience in these games. I would recommend it if you have the money to upgrade your controller.

    This is my 3rd Elite series 2 controller. The first two had issues with the bumpers (one right after the one year warranty, the second one almost at 6months). The controller itself offers great utility but for whatever reason the bumpers fail to stand the test of time.

    Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.
