Seems well constructed
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems well constructed however the one I had gotten broke almost immediately which leads me to believe it was a manufacture defect. The right joystick wouldnt click and the right top bumper was hard to activate in gsme.

Doesn’t last long
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller was great for 4 months. But the extended warranty!
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Stick drift right out the box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The color was cool but the stick drift is what got me
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Customization
Great controller, random build quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bough one to replace the origina XBoxl Elite controllers I had. Those had horrible build quality. The Series 2 is head a shoulders better than Series 1, however, loke another review ,one of my controller had one of the trigger sliders just fall off. Later, the same controler lost the abikity to use the paddles. There wasnt anything wrong with the switches, it was just as if the paddles wouldnt align. A small piece of black gorilla tape over the switches fixed the issue, but i shoul have to rig these to work properly. Now, the second Series 2 i have suddenly has thumb stick drift. All of these controllers are store in their very nice cases, have not been dropped, or touched by children. The Pros: very night grip, well balanced, feels great in hands, super customizable, charging base, USB C for cable connected gaming or charging, great, long cable included. CONS: Random breakage, windows software doesnt update the firmware, seamingly the only option for a good customizable wireless controller for XBox and PC. Overall, i love the controllers. Lets hope by Series 3 therea more consistency in the quality.
