    So far it's been fairly decent for it's price. however there has been a few issues with "A" and "Y" buttons not responding properly, I may have gotten a defective.. But otherwise it's been great with the amount of customization right out of the box.

    I love this controller, balanced very well and sits very comfortably in hand! The customization factor is great as well, being able to change how far you have to press the trigger in for activation and changing the thumb sticks to be looser or tighter, I find myself using both underneath buttons and the regular top buttons as well depending on the game but I do tend to use both. Overall great controller!

    I heard about a lot of QC issues. I have not gotten any yet. A product this expensive should not have that kind of a reputation though . . . There is supposed to be an extended warranty for 1 year offered by microsoft. I honestly don't know how the warranty works, but the device works just fine.

    Better than the series 1 so far, although I haven't had it long enough to give it a 5 star review. Durability has always been an issue with the elite controllers, but they're like crack for me. I can't game without them anymore. So I need them even if they're overpriced and break. But maybe that's what Microsoft intended?
