    I really think the elite controller series 2 is a good product ideally but they have a lot to work on when it comes to the controller because it supposed to be durable but in reality it has its faults when it comes durability And I feel for the price we pay for the controller we should get nothing but the best and not less Because I’m having the same problem with this controller as I am with the $69 controllers the buttons are getting stuck and I’m not really liking that about it at all

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    if you already have accessories from the normal Elite series 2 this is a great replacement to save a few bucks. However, I would not purchase if you don't have or are not planning to get the back buttons. While not that big of a deal I am slightly disappointed that the triggers and numbers don't have the same metal feel they had on the original series 2.

    Controller is starting to get a bit of stick drift which is the only reason it's not a 5 star review.
