    if you already have accessories from the normal Elite series 2 this is a great replacement to save a few bucks. However, I would not purchase if you don't have or are not planning to get the back buttons. While not that big of a deal I am slightly disappointed that the triggers and numbers don't have the same metal feel they had on the original series 2.

    Had this controller less than a month and the left stick is drifting. Will be returning for another one since I got the warranty. Hopefully the new one will not have that issue or button sticking issues.

    This controller is a vast improvement over the original. The paddles feel better and being able to adjust stick tension is a nice improvement. Textured triggers are better as well. Hopefully no build quality issues like the first one.
