    Great controller. A little on the heavy side compared to a regular controller with a Microsoft battery pack in it but, works great.

    Fantastic controller. Worked perfectly out of the box, despite what some have said. I thought the original Elite controller was the best I had ever used until I got this one. The Series 2 is superior in every way.

    This is better than the original and has add on features, but you do pay a premium for the color which seems excessive.

    After receiving the open box product which was allegedly labeled as excellent, i really enjoyed how responsive the controller was. I quickly noticed that the internal battery no longer held a charge since the controller would immediately lose power once disconnected from a charger.

    Much better than the first edition. The grips actually stay on. R stick and L stick buttons are a little to sensitive, but otherwise its great.

    This is a great controller however not sure it's worth $180. We love it and use it everyday but the value may not be there for the casual gamer. If you are a competitive gamer this may be more up your alley.
