    The controller is great until the buttons start to no work. The RB and LB button go out about 6 months of use. I normally play an hour or two everyday. So maybe 20-25 hours a week. Would recommend only if you purchase a protection plan.

    Great features and feel. The battery lasts quite a while and it’s great to have that added in and be able to charge while it’s in the case. I owned the first and upgraded to the series 2.. not disappointed

    Love/Hate Relationship with these controllers. Without a doubt better than any aftermarket controllers (Scuf). Purchased to replace a worn out Elite Series 2. Unfortunately right out of the box the back button broken.

    Bought as a gift, because I liked mine so much. The quality is great, and the custom mapping is perfect for customizing your buttons to specific games. Love it.

    Just what I was looking for. Battery life is amazing and simple to charge. An absolute upgrade from the original elite. Wouldn't go with any other controller out there in the market.

    Great build and provides more buttons and options than any controller on the market. An improvement over the series 1 but very familiar. Would recommend this version for new buyers if price is no issue.
