    The controller really helps with competitive games like shooters. And the choice of different custom profiles makes it very easy to change your settings for each game you play.

    The customizable back paddles are clicky, Confortable, and good quality, the only downside is battery, it can't be changed once the lifespan ends.

    I bought this used and ended up returning it because the left joint stick was locking up and the LB & RB button weren’t not as responsive as it should be.

    Stick drift

    It comes out of the box with stick drift, albeit can be fixed by setting a .1 dead zone. No other controller I’ve had needs this high a dead zone to work in fps games brand new. Controller is great for rpg’s, but get another option if you mainly play fps. Other than stick drift, the build quality is excellent. Back buttons are perfect. Customization options are 2nd to none. The drift was just a dealbreaker for me.

    Its a very nice controller with all the bells and whistles. But my big con was the fact that i cant use my battery chargers. Can only use the plug and play which when you are far from tv gets annoying. If they fixed this id buy 2

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

    Really an amazing controller... for the first year or so. The combination of the balanced weight, texturized grip, and upgraded button placements, with traditional xbox shape and feel, truly makes this a great investment for mid to high end gaming, or just to bump up your game play. This was my first upgrade from a normal controller and can never go back. The sad part, is this is my 3rd controller. After about a year or so, some of the buttons stop working, thus making it useless.

    Purchased as a replacement for another elite series 2 that bumper buttons wire out on. Hopefully internal component quality is better. Had better luck with the original elite controllers

    Bought this to replace my Elite Series One and it rocks! I use it for many games since moving over to my gaming PC and it is the best! Love the feel the build and how you can customize it even more then the first one! It is pricey I will admit but if you can spring for it do it and thank me later!

    Why didn’t I make this upgrade sooner? Absolutely impressed with the build quality and structure of this controller. Many more upgrades from the V1 series and it will blow your mind. If you haven’t already, add to your cart and make the purchase. Thank you!

    The controller is great and Microsoft is currently making it more repairable so if you get it, you’ll have it for a long time. but I would look out for elite series 3 soon

    Everything about it is near perfect, except the lower-right paddle slot; When the paddle is seated as best as possible, there is a generous amount of play.

    I’ve had it for about a year and it’s served me well but the left toggle has already stopped working properly as of a couple of days ago. Overall I love it and I’ll be getting another one. Hopefully Microsoft has improved their parts for it.
