    This is a high quality controller, and it has some great features. I did not remove a star for this, but I do not care for the rubberized grips. They can feel sticky at times, but I'm hoping that the feel may improve with use.

    My son says it's great, plays with it a lot, but for 3, times the cost of a usual controller, it is not 3 times better. It was bought as a special gift, not as a normal purchase. If you've got money to spend, buy it, if you think it's too expensive, the normal controllers are good.

    Extremely happy with this controller, gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of how different the paddles were from the first elite controller. It took some time to get used to after using the original elite controller for years. Definitely worth the upgrade to the series 2.

    My wife surprised me with this controller, after my Elite Series 2 right bumper took a crap on me. My only complaint is that the A button is a little stubborn. Other then that I really like this controller.

    Great controller. This version is supposed to have fixed the stick drift issue as well. So far, no problems with it and it works great. The only thing is it doesn’t come with all of the accessories.

    I luv this controller. The weight and grips around the sides, gives a great feel in your hands. Also luv that the joysticks and d-pad are pop outs makes for changing easy and quick.

    Its solid and works amazingly well on xbox and windows. If you are a mac user go for a ps4 controller. I had to have it repaired once the left joystick stopped working after it fell (short distance). But Microsoft got it all fixed up and back with very little issue ... best repair service experience I have ever had

    Bought this as a replacement for my old Elite that went out. Haven't had any troubles out of it outside of a little stick drift, but that's expected.
