    Good improvement coming from series one. Fits better in your hands. I would give it a 5 star but it started drifting 2 months after I got it. I'm sending it to Microsoft today for service. If you buy this, get the Best Buy service plan.

    I purchased this open boxed so I did expect some faults but when the description states excellent I try to expect that. The joy sticks stopped working in a day of uses. This controller cost to much for that to be happening so I returned it.
