    Great improvements over the Gen 1 controller! The feel of the controller is solid and the function is fantastic! Also better quality over the Gen 1... especially on the thumb sticks!

    I have owned 2 Series 2 Elite Controllers. Both stopped working about a year and a half later with light use. In both my cases, the controlllers will just turn off randomly, whether it is plugged in or not. Also, the sticks will bounce back a bit. For example if you push a character in a certain direction, then let go of the stick, the stick will bounce in the other direction, making your character face the wrong way. It is frustrating. You can look up other complaints of shoulder buttons stop working, stick drift, etc. I really want to like these controllers, but they should be MUCH better built for $200. Do Not Buy.

    Stick Drift After Just 1 Month

    For the price of this controller, I'm honestly let down and disappointed. After a month of regular use, this controller came down with a very unfortunate stick drift on the left-joystick that now makes it almost impossible to use. While the quality of the build is top-notch, the lack of joystick durability brings this controller from a 5-star product to a 1-star in my eyes. If you do purchase this controller, be sure to get a warranty alongside it as the stick drift issue is not a rare one.

    My son only asked for 2 things for Christmas so I had to get him this and I will say it’s a nice upgrade from the standard controller. I really dig the built in charger in the carrying case.
