    You are essentialy taking a risk buying an Elite Series 2, here are the things that may happen. 1. Triggers or buttons not working out of the box 2. Stick drift may develop 3 months later 3. The controller will work just fine Other than that, this controller is amazing when it works properly. The build is very premium compared to the regular controllers, quality control is awful. I would recommend the controller, be prepared to replace it fast.

    Expensive, but the customization is nice, on windows download the app to get the full benefit of the controller, and get the adapter otherwise you need to stay wired, and really what's the point since it Microsoft finally put a rechargeable battery in their contollers

    This feels so good to play games FPS games with and with adjustable triggers and button mapping, every adjustable piece to this makes gaming that much more involved with how you enjoy it. Long battery life and a ton of features made this such an enjoyable controller to own.

    Solid controller that is heavier and has such a better feel in your hand compared to standard xbox controllers. The customization of the controller gives you endless options to adjust button layouts in whatever way suits your game pmay best.

    I got this for my brother and he’s enjoyed using it. Compared to the first model it’s lasted longer (the triggers tend to drift). I also bought one for myself and my bumpers went bad rather quickly but ever since i replaced them they’ve worked fine.

    I LOVE THIS CONTROLLER! It is a great quality product worth what you are paying in the long run just by saving you money on AA batteries! I completely recommend this and buying the warranty as well, because you never know what could happen but it will and they do a good job at replacing your stuff with their warranty. I fully recommend!

    I was a on the fence when deciding to purchase the Elite Series 2 because I've seen tons of feedback about stick drift but Im glad I went through with the purchase, with a few tweaks in the settings to make the stick not so sensitive I've experienced no stick drift. The build quality is top notch and a huge improvement from the first series!

    Thought it was great bought as a open box however I later found out the left analog assembly that is soldered to the board is broke so unless i find another one and manage to solder it to the board successfully it's toast.

    I like the durability and easy adjustments but its a bit heavy. Not too bad for the price. I just wish the bottom paddles were placed differently since I'm used to playing on a Scuf. I find it too easy to accidentally press the paddles with how I grip the controller. Over all a great controller!
