    Got this controller to improve my gameplay. There is a bit of a learning curve at first. Once you get this controller it's hard to go back. My controller works fine out of the box, but the headphones make a buzzing noise with this controller. Its a good controller.

    Anyone who's anyone will buy this controller. It's a work of art. In fact, as i walked out the store with the box clearly visible a few female undergarments were tossed my way. Here's hoping the durability holds up!

    QA Issues but Solid Controller

    Received a defective stick. Microsoft fixed it under repair but not after sending me two broken “replacements”. Quality assurance seems to still be an issue on these elite controllers; however, once you get a solid one it’s a great controller.

    Great controller. I really enjoy the heft of this. I am using it as a PC gaming controller and prefer it over any other controller for PC gaming. There are some good 3rd party mapping software also such as reWASD which can help you get the most out of this controller on the PC.

    Wanted the white controller with accessories, so I got the accessory pack on the side. No drift issues yet, but I’m confident my total tech warranty will save the day if need be.

    This version of the controller is much better than the first generation. Buttons and controller feel premium. By far the best controller I've ever used. We now own 3 elite controllers

    I loved my Elite series 1 but after replacing the bumpers three times and having the rubber start to peel, it was time for a replacement. All is well so far, it is by far my favorite controller, I hope that it will work as well in a year.
