    Having the paddles on the back does take a little getting used to, I’ve accidentally pressed them a few times. Mapping the extra paddles and learning how to use the profiles does take a little bit of patience, but works great once you get the hang of it.

    - Great customization for a personalized easier experience - Very durable inputs but edges of rubber tend to unglue. - Thumb stick grooves go away slowly - Glues for grips way better the Elite 1 (I Play a lot)

    Probably the best controller on the market. Some nice improvements on the original, especially the internal long lasting battery and adjustable thumb stick tension. That being said, I unfortunately got one with somewhat busted thumb sticks. Super jangly and loose, noticeably more so than my old and well worn elite series 1. I guess some controllers leave the factory better than others. I’ll be using my geek squad to grab a new one.

    I only had my first one for 3 months and the RB button up top stopped working. Bestbuy exchanged it for free. Not sure if it’s because I’m a total tech member or not. I am tho. I had this one for a few weeks. I will update. Other then it falling apart. It does the job. I use it wired, can’t say anything about battery life. I would buy again because I use the paddles on it.

    The controller is excellent, the price you pay is worth every dime. The controller has weight and has a more premium feel then the regular controller. Battery life is amazing and could last a solid week on heavy gaming. The parts are so easily interchangeable and dont think about using another controller.

    For the amount of options and things you can do with this controller, I personally enjoy it compared to the typical regular Xbox controller a person can get. Me personally however, I waited for when there was a sale going on for Best Buy, or if there was an open box version available
