    So I've used both this and the scuf controller and like this one so much better. Its heavier than a scuf but also isn't as slippery. For me it feels better in my hands.

    [Employee of bestbuy] The controller is awesome when it works. Unfortunately, the left trigger went bad out of nowhere. I was losing fights in call of duty because I would aim down sights and then it would switch back to hip fire while I held it down. Microsoft is never fixing the elite 2. I’m going to wait until they release an Elite 3.

    Perfect Controller Marred by One Thing

    This is my second Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 - the first was returned for a "sticky" A button (intermittently did not work unless you pressed hard. I returned that, and some time later purchased a new one when they were on sale - the A button is about 95% ok and I'm good with that. I'd recommend the Geek Squad replacement coverage if you're going to invest this much in the controller, as there are plenty of online reviews that state there is some level of poor quality control. Aside from that, it truly is the perfect controller with the customizability, paddles, and (generally) solid construction. Sound purchase for the price.

    Red is my favorite color, When this was on sale I had to buy it. I'm glad they make these without all the other accessories and cheaper because I already had a broken controller and didn't need all the extras!
