    Got a "excellent" condition controller, turned out to have stick drift on both sticks. The 2 front bumpers where double skipping like crazy. The back buttons do not register all clicks.

    Much better price and the bumpers feel much more like a standard controller. No brainer alternative if you have all the accessory pieces already.

    This controller, although fantastic when purchased. It started to break down on me a month in to using it, where it would not turn on unless I connected the controller to a power source, even after charging. For the price, issues like this should not be happening at all $180 plus protections plan. The sad part is that without the issues, this would of been the best controller for x box hands down. In fact, I returned it and miss it. I hope Microsoft comes out with the Elite 3 with better software/hardware because I would purchase them in a heart beat if improvements are made.

    This controller replaced my series 1 controller. I like how you can tighten the sticks and it is still a comfortable grip. The only thing is the grip is slicker then the original so it slides a little more.

    I don't really see much delay when using it on PC so that is a plus. The controller feels great (i did have to get used to the grip texture though).

    Great controller overall and a very nice premium feel! I bought it for my PC but you may need an external WiFi/ Bluetooth receiver. The one on my motherboard was really bad and the controller kept disconnecting

    I really like this controller and its predecessor and would recommend it. Except that 4 months into owning it the left joystick has started to drift up. Of course this is after my 90 days is up. I have found this an ongoing problem in Xbox controllers not just the elite. Yet with a price tag of 179 I expect a little better quality. If you purchase definitly buy the extended warranty through Best Buy.

    This is a hard. I love the controller and its amenities, but the controller doesn't last long from drifting, but best buy offer geek squad warranty which i love and use often on this controller.
