    Great feeling controller, all the adjustments you can make are cool in all but for some reason they refuse to upgrade the internals more. Specifically the buttons as my rb and other triggers tend to go out alot. BE SURE TO GET EXTENDED WARRANTY! Ive been through a few of the first version elite controllers due to these issues as well as random disconnect issues. Now this elite 2 has been doing the same, not through as many as the 1 but about to trade this currrent one back in for trigger issues once again.
