    Not much to say here. It's an excellent, if pricey controller. I'm using it for gaming on my phone mostly, but it works great on my laptop as well for the two games that I use it with.

    Build quality is amazing. It comes in a nice carrying case that has a cutout in the back to allow you to charge it while it’s in the case. Took a little getting used to the back triggers but once you do it’s a game changer. I primarily use mine for cod. Not having to take my thumb off the stick to jump or crouch has improved my gameplay by a mile.

    Makes gaming better. The adjustable trigger travel makes this controller ideal for FPS games and the grips are very comfortable. I did have the typical sticky A button issue but after a day of game play the issue resolved itself

    So having owned the series 1, this has some great enhancements and Microsoft listened. Major improvements is now 3 instead of 2 trigger lengths, enhancements to deeper control of the sticks, and the battery life with awesome charger. Highly recommend!

    This controller was high on my son’s Christmas list, & he has enjoyed it ever since. I also purchased one for my husband. He has not put it down since the day I bought it. If you have avid gamers in your house. They will definitely enjoy this controller.

    This was a gift for my son and it was very well received at that. I'm told there are several improvements over an already great controller. Watch the youtube unpacking that a couple of people posted and see all that it includes. Good stuff. RECOMMENDED!

    My Elite Series 1 started to drift heavily, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. Ordered one of these online from Best Buy's site as I couldn't find one near me. Waited for the controller to be shipped, and I got caught up on a lot of the issues surrounding these controllers. To date, I've had multiple Xbox One controllers along with three Elite controllers. I've had a lot of issues with stick drift with the XOne controllers. As for the Elite controllers, I sold my first one that had a loose left stick I was able to fix. The second one was faulty out of the box, and the third had stick drift. I received the Elite 2 on Friday. Tested the controller and played with it a bit. The A button was not registering and would occasionally stick. Returned it today (Saturday). Came home and tested it. Looked fine, but it wasn't a thorough test. Found out while I was playing Apex that the A button wouldn't register if I pressed it in quick succession. Returned that and got my third Elite 2. Came home and tested it -- A button is not working. There's a dead spot if I press the button from the left side. I didn't think I'd go through three controllers in one day, but it looks like I'll be returning this one in the morning and playing with one of my Xbox One controllers in the meantime. I had hoped to be one of the "many" who didn't experience the vast number of issues with these controllers, but I guess I'm one of the "few."
