    So far, the joystick doesn't have stick drift. I will touch back when stick drift finally sets in. The buttons are removable and customizeable which is great. Sometimes I can't find my controller because it is black. As long as the controller can handle GTA6 when it comes out, I will be fine with it.

    Best controller on the market, just make sure to get warranty in case of stick drif or other issues since the controllers aren't cheap.

    Truly the benchmark for quality in gaming controllers. Solid, feels great, and thorough attention to detail. The triggers are long enough for racing games but can be shortened as well. I only wish they let you choose between the concave joysticks or convex like on Nintendo and Playstation. Concave never made any sense...

    super comfortable controller but my only issue, which it very well could be only mine, is that the A button has a deadzone on the bottom of it so I have to press it a bit more cautiously. Other than that, it is fantastic.

    *Buy the GS Protection Plan!* I thought the "2" in Series 2 would indicate an upgrade in parts and components.... I was stupidly optimistic and wrong. Pros: - Grip - Swappable Magnetic Thumbsticks & D-Pad - Paddles - 10 Foot Cable - Case w/ Charger - Multiple Swappable Profiles Cons: - Same terrible buttons and triggers - When you press RB x1 you get RB x3... "The math checks out" - Will Ferrell... This was my third Elite controller and yet another dud... My first one got stick drift in around 3 months... My second one had a mushy/ bad A button coupled with a paddle that wouldn't register presses every time... THIS ONE however had the triple pressing RB after about 6 months... The sad part is at the time I was playing a lot of MLB The Show and while RB is used it isn't like using A or X but eventually one day I was cycling through the dashboard pressing RB and without fail every time it would move me over 3 times.. Tested it in different games and triple press every time. It will be a long time before they completely re-haul these controllers.. But we will unfortunately continue to support them and buy these inferiorly built ones. If they do ever decide to use more premium buttons, bumpers and triggers this controller would be the King. Until then.. if you do decide to gamble on one spend the extra money for the Geek Squad Protection plan! You will end up using it.. I promise.

    Absolutely one of the best controllers I've ever owned. The customizable paddles make for great gaming. And the fact i can set 3 different sets of settings means i don't have to keep changing it for different games.

    This controller is much better than the series 1. I especially like the adjustable tension of the joysticks. No problems with stick drift like the last series. Only complaint I have is the A button sticks occasionally and there is an inconsistent pressure it takes for each paddle to trigger. Overall it is a complete upgrade from the standard controller!

    Please purchase the geek squad warranty, this is the best feeling controller on Xbox one but if you drop it at least once you might not have functional buttons no more and you will have to buy another controller, this is my third and I had to finally pay the extra cash to know that I can get my controller replaced if something goes wrong

    So far the best Xbox controller I’ve owned. I use it for PC gaming and console gaming. The connection is flawless and the buttons feel great. The controller has a weight to it, gives it a quality feel.

    Had it for some time now, build is much better than the original Elite controller but still shares some of its quality woes, especially when it comes to stick drift. They could really fix stick drift issues with an adjustable dead zone in their accessories program, but I digress. Still the best feeling controller I've used by a mile.

    I recently purchased this item and my family and I LOVE it! It feels solid and made well and the controls are very smooth. The fact that you charge it in the case and don’t need batteries to keep it running it a HUGE win in my opinion. Overall this controller is very well done. And for those who don’t like or want to use the extra paddles they are easily removable. Well done!
