    It isn't necessarily the cheapest controller you're ever going to buy, but it's better than scuff in my personal opinion, and I do own both, and I would go as far as to say it definitely gives you an advantage in specific games.

    This is the core model so it does not include the paddles on the back, they will need to be bought seperately. But for what i got it for, it works great and ill pick up the paddles another day.

    First, I really like the feel and functionality of this controller. It has great adjustments, but is not durable at all. Ive only used it for a few weeks and it already has stick drift. Quite a letdown.

    This controller is made from quality materials, and that is apparent from its weight and durability. I’ve used it a lot, and haven’t had any issues. There are some detachable small pieces so keep your children away.

    From the look to the field this is the whole package. It’s got the right weight the right balance and being able to adjust the tension on the triggers and the thums is awesome. I like that they came out with the white one however I would be great if there were more colors and patterns.

    This controller feels great in your hands and the response is outstanding. I really like the customization options. All of the buttons can be re-mapped so that you can make the controller work best for you. The charging station / carrying case is a great option as well. Just drop it in an it connects pretty much every time. If you're serious about gaming with the X-Box this is the controller for you.

    Almost everything is customizable! The thumbsticks can be changed out. The tension of the sticks can be adjusted. The D-pad can be swapped. The four paddles on the rear make custom button mapping amazing for Call of Duty and other gaming applications. The battery life is up to snuff as well. Worth every penny.

    Only minor issues so far. sometimes it randomly disconnects, but that's maybe once a week. Reconnect and it's fine. The sticks weren't great for navigating game menus out of the box, bit I think that has to do with the thumbstick tension, which is adjustable. EASILY the most comfortable controller I've ever held.

    The series 2 elite controller was a major upgrade from the series 1. My series one had many physical defects, ( rubber gripping peeling off, bumpers breaking, analog stick rubber peeling off) but with the series 2 I’ve experienced zero issues. Controller feels great and really helps in all games with the paddle configurations along with trigger modifications. Love this controller and totally worth the money!
