    Bought this for a friend. I would never pay this much for a controller regardless of the extra things that come with it. Don’t think it’s worth it.

    The features on this compared to the original are night and day. Playing shooting games it makes the hugest difference I've played with this controller for about 120 hours and it's very beneficial to have.

    Got this for my son, as for he had the series 1 awhile back. He loves it, says it makes his gaming easier. Good for more experienced players who are on a lot, not worth it for minimal use.

    Had to return it twice. Luckily I got the geek squad protection plan. Buttons start to Stick. Left and right stick loosen after a couple months. After a couple months some buttons become unresponsive. I love the concept and paddle placement but the overall quality is very poor. Would not recommend this product unless you purchase the geek squad protection plan. The controller didn’t even last a year.

    Horrible stick drift after 6 months

    You'd expect an Elite Series 2 to be top-notch. Sadly it's just another over-priced piece of crap that won't even last 6 months. After 5 months of average use I started to notice a consistent forward drift in the left stick, and it's just gotten worse and more prevalent in the month since. So bad I can't play competitive online shooters at all anymore. Terrible waste of money. Wait until Microsoft has ironed out the kinks I guess? Or just don't buy their crap hardware anymore. So disappointing for the money. What sucks the most is otherwise it's a fantastic controller. But drift is an unforgivable deal breaker in what's supposed to be an elite, professional controller. Just saying it's elite clearly doesn't make it so. Save your hard-earned money.

    The controller mapping is great with the paddle and the adjustable trigger pull is great. Definitely improves gaming ease of use.

    I’m a huge fan of this controller but most people I know have had to get a new one within a year. If you buy, make sure to purchase the warranty for sure!
