    It might be a bit hard to swallow the extra cost of this controller but it is well worth the price. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, shape, and weight of the controller especially if you have been using the standard controller for a long time. Love that you can customize the buttons and triggers to your liking as well as the config of the buttons. An extra bonus is the battery life (which I didn't expect).

    Is my 3rd Elite 2 controller. I actually returned the last one. So xbox controllers feel good on hands. But they have a a lot of drift on their stick. Yea thats not from using the controller it comes with it. At least the ones I owned had that problem

    Completely love the feel of this controller. Easy to hold. Very heavy compared to others. Works great for cross platform with the eight bit duo. If you have a program properly to be recognized as the different series, Xbox controller works well for Sniper games.

    Probably one of the best controllers out there, and to be honest it’s good. I give it 4 stars for the feel, look, and all the attachments and functions it’s has. The only con is the drift after so many uses. But I’d still recommend this to anyone who uses controller

    Love the elite controllers. These are the only controllers I will use while playing Xbox. Once you get accustomed to them, they are all you will use.

    Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.

    Love these remotes just wish Microsoft would’ve fixed the stick drift issues these tend to get. Doesn’t help that I’ve seen break downs of the remote showing the same joystick design in both this premium remote and their basic remotes.

    Controller has been fantastic, I have been using it for almost a year up until recently when I started getting stick drift and even with the customization of the controller I am not able to fix it. I recommend getting the protection plan as the manufacturer's warranty won't replace it.

    If you buy this, you might as well buy two, or absolutely have a warranty. Sturdy and definitely improves ability, but it's a roulette whether the controller will gave stick drift out of the box or not. If you want to shell out more money, get a SCUF
