    This is an amazing remote to have, especially with shooter games. You can make adjustments that cater to your own personal playing style.

    Works good, I like all the features and abilities with it but they could work on the quality a little bit more, seems like the buttons aren’t as responsive as they should.

    Haven’t heard complains from my 13 yr old son but only positive comments. I must say, though, it was pretty expensive which pushes me forward to have my son work from now on if he wants to get such things (not a bad idea now).

    If you want to be in the game, then the elite series 2 controller is for you. I did have the black one and the rubber is coming off it. I had it for 3 years with moderate game play. So, I picked up the blue one for a very reasonable price. Once you go elite, I doubt if you ever go back to other controllers. If you can, get one and get it on sale.

    So far a great buy. Only difference between this and regular elite is it doesn’t include paddles but I’m not a fan of so it’s okay, plus you can buy separately.

    I think these are a great alternative to the Elite Pro. If you're just looking for a nice rechargeable controller with the ability to upgrade what you choose. Still, the Pro has all the bells and whistles and that nice case! I doubt you'll be disappointed with either/or.

    Great controller. The colors are way better when holding it in hand. The top buttons and triggers are a very nice metallic shade of red. If you don't like the new d-pad, you can switch it out cheaply and easily with traditional cross-type ones since the d-pad and analog joysticks are magnetically attached.

    I just upgraded my son's controller from the series one to the series two and I must say we have had no complaints. Best buy always has the best prices and you can't beat the geek squad warranty. Thank you Best Buy!

    I was worried about spending so much on a controller and not seeing any difference in gameplay, however the control has been nothing, but responsive and the battery life is awesome. Made my life playing Monster Hunter so much easier.

    I had the Elite 1 since launch and loved it! Only had 1 problem with the bumpers in that time. This version 2 is an improvement in every way. The construction and feel of the controller is un matched and is worth every penny of the price tag
