    The controller is awesome when it works. Unfortunately, the left trigger went bad out of nowhere. I was losing fights in call of duty because I would aim down sights and then it would switch back to hip fire while I held it down. Microsoft is never fixing the elite 2. I’m going to wait until they release an Elite 3.

    Its the best quality controller ive ever picked up. You can tell its quality by the weight alone. It feels much more sturdy than your standard controller.

    This controller feels solid in the hand. the moment you pick it up, you know it means business, after using the elite controllers for about two years now I could never go back to a normal controller.

    The greatest controller i've ever used, but it's not very durable. I've replaced it twice now, first because the right bumper failed, then because the grip started to become unglued after many hours of use and changed the shape of the controller. If you're going to buy this get the protection and replace it when, not if, it fails.
