    I really like the design and feel of the controller. The extra paddles on the bottom are very helpful on games that allow for button customization. My biggest disappointment with the controller is that some buttons become sticky over time where they fail to register in-game. Also, thumbstick drifting becomes an issue over time. I have had to replace this controller already for this issue. Paying $180 for a controller that fails only after a few months of use is VERY disappointing.

    Great controller. Once i got used to the paddles, it really helps with FPS games. It’s nice not having to remove your thumbs from the sticks. It is a little pricey, so let’s hope it holds up for a casual gamer.

    I was worried about stick drift when I first got this controller and returned it originally before deciding I would buy it again, but it's yet to happen to me and I really enjoy this controller. Ironically, Xbox has perfected and redone the design over the past couple years instead of releasing an Elite Series 3. Additionally, they purposefully made the Xbox Series X controllers small, and I think it was so people would buy the bigger Elite Series 2 controller. Because that's why I bought it, the regular Xbox Controllers and smaller and awful compared to this.

    Great controller. Good heft, adjustable stick tension and trigger throw. This version (Core) does not include the bottom paddles (removable) but can be equipped with them if you have them. It also does not include the case or the charging dock (again Core version lacks these accessories). This is my second Elite 2. Hopefully, this one doesn't die of drift like the first did.
