    If you are replacing an old Elite 2 controller this is the way.

    Needed to replace my original elite series 2 controller but didn’t want to spend full price to get all the extras that I already have. This option is great in my opinion. Lower cost, same high quality and if you already have the paddles, case, sticks and charger or if you don’t care about those, this fits the bill.

    This went on sale for $85.00 so I got 2 for xmas presents. Huge upgrade from the standard models. I love the adjustable trigger controls and the feel from the joy sticks. I have not gotten a chance to use the app and remap button configurations yet but, I'm sure it will work well with any FPS game.

    The first one had stick drift issues within the first 3 months. Luckily I was able to send it back to microsoft in time for a replacement. Second controller I received I had a week and it too had stick drift issue with the same joystick (right), so I sent returned that to microsoft as well. I just received my third controller yesterday. They sent me one never removed from the box as if I just bought it in the store. Charged it up and A button sticks. I also noticed an issue in the feedback when clicking the left stick. When pressed, its like it clicking twice, probably due to all the vertical play in the joystick. On to the fourth!!! Sucks I have to wait another 15 days. I would just return it for a replacement to bestbuy with my geeksquad warranty I purchased but these are never in stock. It has been months. If you dont care about wireless functionality, I would recommend the Razer Wolverine Ultimate.

    I've tried many aftermarket controllers for the paddle functionality and this is by far the best. Very sturdy and high quality.
