    I like the customization of buttons and sensativity. My dislikes are far more though. The left stick creeps down so playing first person shooters my player is constantly moving back or im holding it in the “neutral” zone. I have constant issues with the battery. I can leave it charging over night. Unplug it, and it dies in 30 min or less. Mid game with no warning.

    Let me start off by saying, I play Call of Duty in a competitive manner, so my controllers will take more abuse than the average player. But within 2 weeks, the controller began to show wear already with the sticks squeaking and the triggers making noise when depressing them. If you are comparing this between a SCUF, absolutely go with the SCUF the extra money is worth it. But if you are looking for a controller than can just do more than a regular one, be configured, and adjusted in every possible way, this is your choice. If you play in any professional manner, or for 5+ hours a day go with the SCUF.

    The tension adjustments on the thumb sticks is the best part about this controller. I’m coming from the original elite controller, so the paddles are nothing new. They have solved the rubber grip problem, but I’m my opinion, the way they did these grips causes them to be a little slippery. I haven’t had any connection or button issues that other review claim.

    Biggest selling point is the adjustable trigger pull distance. Paddles on the back are a little difficult to not accidentally push during game play. I removed the 2 bottom paddles and only use the top 2. Worth the money, I’m better at COD now!

    As long as it keeps working, this is one of the best feeling controllers on the market. I really wish Microsoft would just redesign the internals and release a series 3.

    I owned the elite series 1 and this one just feels a lot better than the first one. I've heard a lot of people complain about the dreaded "drifting", but as of yet I haven't had any problems with that or any other problems. Would defiantly recommend this controller.

    So I was given a tracking number to track my package. Then I was told that it was at the corporate package office and I had to pick it up. And it was a hassle just to get it. I had my number on the information so it would have been nothing to contact me and ask for the rest of the information so I could get my package. Thanks for the headache.

    The back top pedals could be more sensitive I have to double tap sometimes for it to activate kinda annoying at times. Has anyone else’s had this problem? Other then that it’s ight could be little cheaper tho.

    Great controller, use it almost everyday, the button mapping in it is very user friendly and very useful, and having 3 different setting for the mapping also helps alot.

    Best controller ever made

    Not exaggerating here when I said the Elite 2 controller is the best controller ever made. The build quality is excellent. As a former owner of an Elite 1 controller, my biggest problem was the grips coming apart due to the heat of my hands. They fixed this by making the grips part of the controller. So much better. If you're an Xbox gamer, buy this.

    Probably Best you can get on the market. However, it’s really heavy, and kind of slippery. And a touch too small for my hands.
