    The only issue i've had it has been the joy stick loosing its chrome a little bit from rubbing on the ring where it sits, but thats an issue of all controllers and i can easely replace the magnetic joy stick.

    The Elite Series 2 controller is an excellent alternative to the much more expensive Scuf Instinct controller. The only negative about this controller is the amount of stick drift you can get.

    The Elite series 1 was great... and then this one came out and is so much better. I'll never go back to a regular xbox controller. Even the Xbox light is customizable to any color. The charging dock is awesome too!

    They upgraded everything that needed to be upgraded charges wirelessly on its own pedestal type c connection the grip has been redone which is a big plus there are no longer seams in the grip you can adjust the tension in the thumbsticks overall well worth the money how he recommended can't say good enough stuff about it.

    The controller over all is just really nice, and while I definitely recommend spending the extra money on one of the many back paddles options

    This controller should have been shipped standard with the Xbox Series X. It makes the whole system feel more quality. Good adjustments on the triggers and sticks.

    Great controller, but this is my 2nd one in just over a year. The buttons seem to get stick drift after a while and this is only worth it with the protection plan since it would be fully covered if anything were wrong with it.

    I purchased this specifically because it offers three levels of tension for the joysticks. As someone who has hand tremors due to Parkinson’s disease, adjusting the joystick tension so it is harder to move reduces the negative effect of my tremors. I also like having an additional position for trigger pull depth. To further fine tune the triggers you can us the Xbox app to change the point at which the trigger reacts to your pull. I created a dead spot at the beginning of my left trigger pull because I was unintentionally putting tension on the trigger. So if I jumped in Destiny 2 it would cancel my jump. Now I have no issues. On the downside after a few days of use, the right trigger started squeaking verhy loudly. I searched YouTube and found a video that recommended using a dry lube like WD40 Teflon spray. Worked like a charm for me. Microsoft only offers a 90 day warranty so I recommend buying the extended warranty from Best Buy.

    I've never paid more than the "normal" price for a controller so I don't have much experience with high end controllers, but I absolutely love this controller. It has a really nice weight and feels sturdy. Haven't had issues yet. But I got the protection plan because I heard there are a few issues
