    Its a great controller, but not much different than the Elite 1... I'm so glad I waited to upgrade until my E1 grips fell off...

    This is such a smooth, high quality & responsive controller! I had a series 1 controller but spilled my beer on it (when I was being chased by a 13 year old during a furious COD match). This new controller feels great in the hands and the ability to program it creates all sorts of awesome options! Love this thing!

    Great controller. Good grip, awesome haptics. Only problem is that the kit was missing the most basic attachments that make the pro controller what it's supposed to be: the backside paddles, thumb-stick and d-pad replacers, all sold separately.

    So good in some ways, a let down in others. The Bad. The Bluetooth is not usable on my Windows 10 gaming pc. It seems okay and latency isn't an issue from what I can tell, but about every 5 minutes you'll lose control for a good 6-7 seconds. Maybe this could be fixed with a software update, but both my controller and the Bluetooth drivers on my computer are up to date. The wireless USB module took care of this. Just sucks always having one more USB drive being used. My A button stuck down for a brief moment twice. I'm hoping this doesn't get worse. The Good The case with the charger built in is a nice touch. The USB cable that comes with it is awesome. Feels very good in the hand. Has a dense solid feel, very quality build to it. The grips are much improved over the V1 Elite controller, which I've used for the last 3 years, that reduce sweating in the palms greatly. The new triggers are fantastic. The old, large ones are terrible by comparison on the last gen. The tension screws on the joysticks, wow! What a feature. I love that! Tool included and takes seconds to adjust. I now have my right stick on max resistance and I can aim so much better than before. Overall, I like the controller. The biggest concern is the sticky buttons at this point. If it continues I'll be replacing it with another one and if that one fails I'll wait until the 3rd generation. The first generation is still working well enough to get me by.

    Great for gamers. Lot’s of bells and whistles, but not for the average Joe. Takes a little time to get use to all the extra buttons. It’s very sensitive and quick.

    The overall build of the controller is very nice. The added paddles are not my thing and I end up hitting them on accident more than not due to the size of my hands. Bluetooth doesn’t work for sht in windows 10. Drops connection every couple of seconds which is why the low score. Had to get an Xbox wifi adapter to fix the issue. For the price I should have to do that.
