    While the controller was fine, the "open box" was not as advertised or what I paid for. On line, there are 3 options for my BB Store for open boxes. I paid for "excellent" condition but got home and actually receive "fair" condition. It didn't even come with a charging cable!!! Suppose now there is nothing I can do, but just make sure you get what you paid for BEFORE you leave the store.

    I own the first one which is great. I bought the new and it is 10 times better. Tension control thumb sticks are awesome! Smaller paddles which is great cause I used to accidentally hit the bottom ones on the series one. Not sure why some people are saying the controller is slippery, cause I don’t have issues with that. Nothing negative to say about the controller at all

    The perfect controller

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).

    Arguably the best wireless controller in the market for PC gaming. Sometimes has connection problem but overall very good. Maybe the Bluetooth adapter helps with the connection problem but is sold separately. The built quality is great. Nice to hold in hand specifically with the satisfying weight.

    Great product, great price. My original series 2 broke and didn’t to buy the full kit again, so the fact they offer this one without accessories and charger for less, is perfect.

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.
