    This control is good enough for the average try-hard. However, there are some issues with the “A” button and for some reason this controller does not respond well with Gears of War 5.

      Hey Reyna,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry to hear there are a couple issues with it. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Pretty good; I like that I can adjust the trigger pressure so that I barely have to tap it for it to press. Sometimes it lags, this may be due to the bluetooth connection. I use it with my PC, so that might be why ? otherwise, great controller

    This is absolutely the best controller on the market. There's simply no other controller out there that gives you this level of fine tuning, not to mention the build quality being great. Price is steep.

    I love these controllers and series 2 improves on the original in every way. Unfortunately, my left stick is now getting stickdrift but, that's why you buy the replacement plan.

    It’s hard to recommend this controller especially at this price. After about six months it developed significant stick drift, just like it’s predecessor. Since then, Microsoft has replaced it twice for me, which I’m grateful for since it was $200, but that window is now closed and when it inevitably starts drifting again I’ll be out of luck. If you can get it on sale and you don’t mind repairing it yourself, maybe it’s worth buying, but if stick drift is a deal breaker for you just walk away.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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.

    I love my elite controller and wouldn’t go back to regular one, but if you’re a heavy player I’d suggest getting warranty. The actual controller bumpers tend to break fairly quickly and I hope they build something more durable in the next gen. Also wished they add more colors/customization.

    This is a very high quality, hefty feeling controller. I really do like the paddles on the rear, however I do not use all 4 that were included. Also the charging case as the charging station is cool too.

    My thumbs used to hurt from clicking in the sticks when sprinting. I map L3 and R3 to paddles and my fingers are thanking me. I had the elite 1 and good grips pealed off. This one isn't supposed to have that problem.
