    I love this controller. Weight is a little heavy and grip texture is perfect for those sweaty games. Downside is after 6 month to a year you will notice the right bumper having intermittent failure as well as stick drift in right thumb stick. I recommend warranty because it is a common defect that happens in almost all Elite 2 controllers.

    I had to wait till stores opened back up in order to use the replacement plan I had purchased with the series 1 controller I previously bought my son. After the extra out of pocket cost plus another 2 year replacement, this ended out being a great birthday present for him. I think it has a few more attachments in comparison to the previous series and some more software programming functionality. The 2 year replacement is definitely worth it with the cost of the controller.

    Great controller. Has all the bells and whistles. My only problem is that I need to get used to the extra buttons. But it works exactly as intended and has a ton more functionality than I'll probably ever use. But I'm also middle-aged and set in my ways without a ton of gaming experience.

    So I am reviewing this 9 months after purchase. This replaced an elite series 1 controller that had the drift issue with the right stick. This has held up longer, but I now have some drift in the left stick. I don't play rough with the thing so I'm a bit disappointed I'm running into issues already. 90 day warranty is BS... might need to stick with the cheap controllers moving forward...
