    Crack Controller

    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?

    The only downside does not come with rear bumpers. Other than that, it is still worth the upgrade.

    Best controller ever

    By far the best controller I’ve ever used. This thing is built like a tank; I was not expecting it to be so heavy, but I love that about it. The build quality of this is incredible. It feels really solid in your hands. All the buttons can be remapped using the settings on your Xbox. The price tag is pretty daunting, but I paid for the 2 year warranty so it’s the only controller I’ll need for the next few years.

    I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres
