    Such a great controller. Bought for a Christmas gift. He can easily such between using it on his Xbox to his computer. I've had one for two years now and haven't had any issues with drifting, or batteries draining.

    FPS main controller now

    Controller is very high quality, all buttons and triggers function as they should. The magnetic change of sticks and D pad is a nice touch that feels secure and I have yet to have one come loose mid play. Case is nice quality and the ability to charge while inside is a nice feature. Price is higher than I would prefer but for a nice controller I can see the justification. Features are perfect for FPS titles but have yet to see a need on other games. If you mainly play FPS and want a quality controller I would recommend this.

    The Elite Series 2 is a great controller until it inevitably breaks down on you in some way shape or form. Stick drift is guaranteed within 6 months. Bumpers are prone to fail. ABXY buttons can be hit or miss when it comes to missed inputs. And if you hit the Yahtzee in bad luck, you might even have an issue down the road with the rubber grips losing adhesion. I have never thrown one of these controllers, I've never mishandled them or have been rough with them in any way and over the years and I've gone through four of The Elite Series 2 and four of the original Elite controllers as well. Microsoft has a quality control problem when it comes to these controllers. You're better off getting a Scuff controller.

    Huge improvement over previous Elite controller

    Best controller on the market. Buttons are extremely responsive. Trigger pulls now have two settings to shorten the pull resulting in quicker shots fired in first person shooters. Power button is a shorter push to turn on and off. It just feels like a high end controller. My old one has a thumb stick that would drift upwards when not in use, other buttons felt like you had to mash down on. This is more responsive, more clicky if that makes sense. If you owned the previous Elite you’ll love this even more. Carrying case allows you to charge while in case. Battery life doubled. This is a 10/10.

    High quality and feels great in my hands. One star off because I think there the paddle position is close enough that occasionally I’ll press the bottom paddle if my grip is off at all. Also a star off because it came out of the box with stick drift, which is a common complaint with this model. Great overall with minor imperfections.

    Feels very nice in the hands. Battery life is more than enough for a couple days without charging. Bluetooth works flawlessly, and it easilt switches from conoles to bluetooth. Buttons and triggers feel good, and the texturing is comfortable whike still allowing for better control.

    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.

    Nice High End Controller but is it worth the Price

    The Elite Series 2 is a really nice high end controller. The Customization of buttons is super nice for series gamers while the build quality and general in hand feel are far better than the standard Xbox Controller. Also really love that it comes with it's own charging dock. But is it worth the retail price? In my opinion, No. Look for it on sale for around $139. I feel like that price is a little more in line with where it should be.
