    Great controller, only issue is stick drift. Make sure to buy warranty as I have swapped out 2 under warranty.

    It's a solid piece of hardware with good grip and functionality. Unfortunately you can't do macros in programming mode. The A button was a bit sticky at first but after a few weeks of wear it well broken in.

    I loved my first Elite Controller, and I am loving this Series 2 even more. Great feel and weight to the controller, so it feels great in my hands. It is very responsive and configuring it is very easy.

    My son's series 1 controller stopped working a couple of months ago. We've been waiting for the series 2 to be released. My son seems to like the new one, I didn't see much difference other than the higher price.

    Much better hand feel than the standard controller. Easily customized with provided additional knobs. Still trying to get used to the paddles on back, as standard controllers do not include them.

    High end controller. It does make a difference when playing COD and even regular games. It will be a good addition for the next Tekken 8.

    If you’re still using one of those $50 ish controllers save your money for this thing. Best controller I’ve ever owned. The precision is incredible. Feels like a top shelf piece of medical or military gear more than a video game controller.

    This is by far the best control I’ve ever owned.! A lot of people have negative reviews or mixed reviews about this so far I haven’t had any problems but that’s why I bought the warranty. But by far it’s the best I’ve ever had!
