    Seems higher quality than standard controller but hard to justify the price.

    I shouldn’t really be surprised every Xbox controller I’ve gotten has had an issue. I was hoping that years after the launch of the elite 2 controller that they have at least made improvements from when I last had it. They definitely have not.

    Paire it up with several devices and so far so good. I would only suggest the custom presets to also be able to save the pairing to another devIce

    This controller is not a cheap alternative as it comes with no paddles or anything that the normal elite series two comes with. You have to buy it all seperate. Was highly disappointed with the purchase as i was trying to save money not have to spend more for what should come with the controller

    Owned this controller for about 4 months and I am already sending it back to Microsoft support due to left analog stick failure. First it started with a drift and then the left thumbstick has stopped reading any movement. Dead stick. Luckily I'm within the short Microsoft warranty and hopefully the replacement will be much better and last longer.
