    The controller feels great and gives you a competitive advantage in FPS games. The only issue is that not longer after use, you get some stick drift and the bumpers feel like they’re going out. It’s too expensive to go out as quickly as it does.

    If you bought a controller first time. Buy the warranty and renew controller warranty every 1.5 years. Basically get it for half off. Beats buying a brand new controller.

    I really really like the series 2 in every way but this is my 2nd one. Hopefully it doesn't have stick drift like the last one. My series one went through 5 of the first series with same issue. I dont drop or throw controllers. I use them and set them on the charger. At $180 i take care of them! They are the best controllers out there. (When they work). Get the extended warranty. Its totally worth it.

    This controller was a great purchase. It feels high quality, and being able to customize the controller to your liking is definitely a plus. I would definitely buy it again.

    Great controller, once you’ve played with back paddles you can’t go back. Easy to program on your console. I can honestly give it 5 stars because I don’t count the normal wear and tear of a controller. I get a new controller whenever the stick drift gets too unbearable which is around 18mos for this particular controller. Some of the more expensive controllers tend to wear out sooner than that.

    I finally gave up on my only elite 2 controller as the bumpers were becoming very unresponsive. I bought this controller sense I have all the elite 2 stuff from the other controller. My only complaint is that when I bought this controller the 3rd trigger stop on the left trigger made it unresponsive and I have read other places where people were having this issue. Instead of returning it which would’ve been a hassle, I took apart the controller and filed down the area where the trigger hits the trigger stop. After I got it fixed and put back together it works like intended and still is one of my favorite controller but I just the fact that I had to fix it myself when it can broken was kinda frustrating when I know plenty of people who wouldn’t even know how to fix it and just return it is annoying

    Excellent controller. I enjoy the feel and the ability to map the back buttons. Other in the house also have different button mappings that are easily controlled directly from the controller. I have not experienced any drift and the RB/LB buttons haven't failed me like the E1

    Same as all the elite controllers, great grip, feels great in the hands, nice and heavy. This controller doesn’t come with the bottom paddles but I had a another one that I was replacing with this one because my top right bumper broke so I used those paddles and installed on this new white one.

    This controller has replaced my standard controller, and it is awesome! Heavy weight and solid in your hand, and so didn’t want all the extra levers and triggers, I just wanted it mainly for the built in rechargeable battery that last me 4-5 days easy playing 6-8 hours each day. Big step up from the older models of the elite, just seems solid and buttons are very responsive

    Very good controller for the price. However the only downside is not coming with paddles. Moreover the paddles are cheap and easy to install. Great product overall. No stick drift and it’s got some weight. High quality

    Longtime PlayStation owner here. I decided to get this controller to use on my gaming laptop and I was not disappointed. Makes the PS4 controller look kind of cheap. This controller is built rock solid. It’s heavy, which I like. It is also customizable in so many ways it’s kind of intimidating. Pairing with my laptop wasn’t terribly difficult, but it could have been a little smoother. It works though, and works well.

    This is my second in four years. Right bumper broke on the first one, but geek squad replaced it. The new one is just starting to get stuck drift, so I'm going to get it replaced again before the warranty ends. Love the weight of the controller and it feels good. Definitely worth getting here so you can get it covered.
