    Controller was great for the first year but has seen significant battery life decline and stick drift issues. For the premium price I did not anticipate these issues, especially when the standard sixty dollar controller performs better.

    The best controller a gamer can buy. Once you get used to it and figure out good button mapping ( I recommend A,B,X,Y, your thumb never leaves the joystick so you can easily multitask) you will never want to use a normal controller again

    Better than the first iteration in many ways but still has its issues. Feels great in hand and the rechargeable battery is a must have past due added touch that the controller badly needed! I had immediate issues with my right bumper though the bumper buttons break very easily and are poorly made. I was really surprised how fast the bumpers gave out and I feel like it will happen again soon

    Definitely upgrade from older elite

    Got this due to 1st gen elite controller breaking again. Had few problems with the first gen and seems Xbox fixed most of those problems with this second gen. Seems like the paddles are smaller then first gen elite and and the third trigger stop seems like it turns the trigger into a button with the limited rage of motion, which is probably going to take some time to get used to. Favorite upgrade from the first gen to second has to be the analog resistance control. Thought the resistance function wouldn’t be used be definitely find it useful. Would definitely recommend as long as it holds up longer then the first gen elite controller.
