    The series 2 has several slight improvements over the original elite controller. Together these improvements add up to the best controller I’ve ever owned. The only negative about this controller is the price.

    For the $ this one controller costs I guess it's great. Not sure why a controller needs to be $300 but i guess that's what people spend on their habit Works great

    I love this controller, but it has some issues. My first one got stuck drift in 2 months of playing a few hours after work. Being my first controller with paddles, I caved and got another one. The second one lasted 5 months, then the right bumper started double pressing. Not really sticking, but you couldn’t only click it once. It’s not a huge problem, just a little annoying for $190

    Disappointed that it did not come with the rear paddles, etc. Especially for the price. There is not that much of a difference in gameplay.

    This is Waaaaaaaay better than the first generation. The Rechargeable batter was much needed. I’m glad they replaced the rubber grips because they kept coming off.

    Great controller. So far the Elite has been the only official Xbox controller to withstand their endless hours of gameplay without breaking.

    If you play xbox and you're still using a regular controller drop the money and buy and elite controller. It costs more but will last and you'll never want to go back. Great controller.
