    Amazing controller, perfect while it works and the best there is available. The warranty was extended from 45 days to 1 year from Microsoft. It’s a shame Microsoft used the potentiometers used in order Xbox, Nintendo and Xbox controllers that also have drift issues in these.

    Alright so for the price I say it’s pretty good. I actually got it at a slight discount so that’s a bigger win for me in my opinion. The controller is solid the extra stuff it comes with is awesome and the fact it’s rechargeable is perfect. I haven’t had any issues with it so far. I would recommend it!

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game.

    This controller was a hard purchase for the money. Let me tell you though it was completely worth it. I have loved it since the first time I used it to play. The ability to tighten the sticks is a very big deal and makes a huge improvement.

    Good controller but I had to return mine. The grip area is slippery compared to the first generation controller. I couldn't get use it it and felt weird in my hands. I did like the charging base it comes with and the fact that the tension on the sticks can be adjusted.

    This is my favorite controller EVER. I have had 4 of them now and will never try another one. Attempted to use a scuf controller but didnt feel as substantial as the E2. I play a lot of games and they last 8-10 months usually playing 2-3 hours a day.

    Improved fit in hands and less effort to use. Big upgrade from the elite 1. Love the built in case charger as well. I ended up pulling some of the buttons off my elite one and using those just because I have worn them in just right.
