    Great update over the Series One controller I've had for two years. Feels great in the hand and so far, fingers crossed, I've had no problems whatsoever.

    Buy at your own risk. I bought this controller a year ago. The first one I got had an inconsistent A button. I returned it for a replacement to Best Buy. The replacement had the same issue. I mapped the A button to another button and was able to deal with it for a while. I sent it back to MS for repair. They had it for 2 weeks when it came back, same issue. Then it started to just turn off in the middle of a game. This happens at least once a week now even when the controller has a full battery. This would be a great controller if it wasn't so unreliable. I will say when the controller works it is great. Best controller I've ever used, unfortunately it doesn't always work.

    Great product if you don’t need the case/paddles or like us we have the case and sticks from our original elite 2 controllers and don’t need to pay $50 more for it. Great holiday present for your Xbox gamer.
