    Excellent build quality and many many features. Real improvement on the first gen controller. 3 controller profiles are a real plus, and the paddles are no longer in the way. I would strongly recommend this to someone if they are some who play regularly.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.
