    The ability to change the thumb sticks make this a real upgrade although the paddles on the back take time to get used to.

    Love the pieces being held magnetically and the Bluetooth capability. The option of easily switching between devices (PC to Xbox vice versa) with the push of the same button twice is something that I never thought I needed.

    Love the elite series 2 controllers. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t come with the accessories pack anymore. You have to purchase that separately.

    As most Xbox controllers, stick drift comes fast and is unavoidable. Outside of that, it’s pretty good

    Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

    Best controller you can buy. Being built out of metal gives a nice weight and feel that I prefer over any scuf or standard controller

    'A' button has major sticking issue

    The overall feel is good, it doesn't feel cheap. But the A button sticking prevented me from gracefully climbing into my favorite camping spot in Modern Warfare. It sticks down every 4 to 5 presses. Now sold out so swapping isn't even an option, might just upgrade the grips on my elite 1 and push it back into service. Revisit this controller when the kinks have been worked out.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Very nice hand feel, reserve side buttons a nice touch. Feels good in hand even after a couple hours of sweaty palms. Comes with extras like a charger, but not really needed.
