    Had the elite and hated how often I was having to repair the lb/rb buttons. I liked it other than that. This controller is holding up better but I still feel like is has it's own issues. I've noticed the right joystick not working at times. I also don't like the options for the joysticks they gave. The elite sticks dont work on this controller without modifying them. But I do like the hair trigger and joystick adjustments. The grips all around are good. I also like the integrated charge station in the holder. They switched out the micro usb so you can't use your old cable but they give you a nice new one. I say it's good but not great for the price.

    Best controller for PC or XBOX no question. MINUS the 2 I took back because of stick drift and/or the A face button didn't work. But this 3rd controller is the absolute best. This rating is on the 3rd controller not my experience getting them.

    An outstanding controller with so much customization on your hand. Kinda hefty on the hands but is just an amazing controller for any game you play. Whether handicapped or a CLAW player, the complete package is here.

    The Elite Series 2 controllers are *THE BEST* Xbox controllers on the market. Yes a bit pricey but it literally feels like you're bringing a gun to a knife fight. The way it feels & the way it holds up, along with the built in battery makes it the best of the best!

    Absolutely love this controller, I didn’t t think there would be much difference, or enough difference between this and the regular controllers to warrant buying the better one but wow!!! It’s soooooo much better than the regular ones. The respon time is so much faster, and smoother controls. Love it

    let's face it these really should be the standard controllers that come with the systems. It's worth every penny, and works great on the PC as well. feels good in the hand, weight is good, programable triggers.

    I really like the controller. Makes you a better player because you can change up what buttons do what. Dislike is its a little heavy.
