    This is a great controller! I use it for all of my Xbox gaming, but bought it for first and third-person shooter games. The adjustments I can make have been helping me game play for shooter games. The grip is definitely better and nicer than the regular Xbox controller. No problems with the controller so far.

    Awesome controller. Customization is great. Love being able to change the color of the Xbox light. No AA batteries to use or batteries to buy or pack great.

    I loved the first Elite controller but the Series 2 blows it away! Very well constructed. The stick tension, 3 step trigger locks, shorter upper paddles, 3 profiles instead of two, and improved bumpers are just amazing! Definitely worth the price if you wanna up your game.

    The best xbox controller money can buy. The battery life is by far the best quality and a perfect reason why you should buy. Not only that but the comfort and build is top of the line.

    This controller has a lot of mechanics and common drops can give stick drift immediately. Geek squad and this controller go hand and hand ヽ(⌐■_■)ノ

    This is a good controller but for almost $200 dollars the ABXY buttons tend to feel flat some times without a good bounce back. I would have a tough time recommending it for the price. It is better than the standard controller but not by much.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great out of the box but has not withstood the kids abuse and use. Have had to had geek squad check it out twice in a short time. This Would likely last a long time with adult use. Added functions are amazing and customizable. Get the geek squad protection!
