    I did not know that you can charge the controller while it is in the case. Nice feature. Only feature it doesn't have that I would like is an auto rapid press feature.

    Completely love the feel of this controller. Easy to hold. Very heavy compared to others. Works great for cross platform with the eight bit duo. If you have a program properly to be recognized as the different series, Xbox controller works well for Sniper games.

    Great controller if you want the ability to customize the settings. Once I played with the Elite, never went back to standard. Like being able to swap dpads, adjust trigger pull, and add levers to the back for additional functions.

    Probably one of the best controllers out there, and to be honest it’s good. I give it 4 stars for the feel, look, and all the attachments and functions it’s has. The only con is the drift after so many uses. But I’d still recommend this to anyone who uses controller

    Best controller i ever bought. Other than the stick drift after a while while playing mw3 its a pretty good controller. Definitely worth the buy if you want extra buttons switchable thumb sticks.

    Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.

    Love these remotes just wish Microsoft would’ve fixed the stick drift issues these tend to get. Doesn’t help that I’ve seen break downs of the remote showing the same joystick design in both this premium remote and their basic remotes.
