    This is a really solid controller with a nice case. The XBOX app lets you create three custom button layouts and save them to the controller. I also change the center button LED, so that each custom button layout has its own color.

    Compared to the first model, this one is a big step up in comfortableness and convenience. The size stays the same but then the comfort of the controller great!

    Since launch, I have returned 7+ controllers due to RB double/triple clicking, A,Y face buttons not registering when pressed, and MAJOR stick drift. Microsoft's quality control for the elite controllers (series 1+2) is non existent. Ive wasted hundreds of dollars purchasing the best buy warranty with every exchange bc i KNOW the issue(s) i mentioned above will be there. Ive now purchased the geek squad package to try to save money. I honestly dont even know what to suggest to those who read this bc i need those paddles now but literally every single controller ive recieved has been defective in a major way..

    Best Controller Out, Beware Of Issue

    By far the beat controller across all consoles. Even better than Scuf in my opinion, although I know this was made in partnership with Scuf. The app on Xbox makes it a lot easier than manually setting the paddles. Recommended an extended warranty. This is my second elite series 2. I bought the first one Nov 2019 upon release, experienced left thumbstick drift after 4 months, only a 90 day warranty. Paid $100 to have Microsoft fix and bought a new one with the extended warranty, because playing Cod with a regular controller doesn’t feel right anymore.

    I’ve heard a lot of negatives about how these controllers don’t last, but I’ve had it for over a year now and I haven’t had any issues. I love that you can customize the sensitivity and layout through Xbox as well. This is great because I primarily play ranked modes on FPS games.
