    Yeah, I'm digging this one quite a bit. Not really missing the accessories one bit. Hoping the white stays clean though.

    Extremely well built controller. Little pricey but works great. Buttons are smooth and just about everything is adjustable.

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

    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.

    It’s definitely a controller. If you are going to use the back paddle buttons. It might be more worth it for you. But I feel like a controller with swappable thumb stick modules would be better incase of stick literally just replace the stick. It just feels like a heavy Xbox controller.

    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!
