    Excellent controller, but for the price i wish Microsoft will make the entire controller red instead of being cheap and using the white controller as the base center.

    This controller is everything you need for an FPS game! However, I did hear there are cosmetic issues still happening even with the new Core controller so I recommend getting protection on it

    Series 2 Elite controller is much better that the original. while the grips are a bit slippery when you first pick it up it much better than the old grips that fell off within a month. heads up accessories from the first elite controller are not useable with the series 2.

    I was a little unhappy about this not coming with the paddles, but that is probably on me for not reading the description well enough. But selling them separately is an idiotic premise!

    This is a great controller, the feel, the function are great. Only is that knocked down to 1 stars was the A Button. The A button consistently gets stuck. It does not take long for it to return to normal but when you are in the middle of game, a sticky button could be the difference between owning the game and getting owned by the game. I am going to return it, as it is unacceptable to pay close to $200 dollars for stick button. I know I am being harsh but, if you have paying this much money for a controller, you would expect excellent quality control on the part of Microsoft. I have the first series and never had an issue but I can't say the same for Series 2
