    See the pictures for what Best Buy considers "open box - good condition." 1. literally missing all accessories 2. packed in a brown box and shrinkwrapped so tightly that the sticks were mashed down 3. all scratched up 4. rubber grips filled with some crust substance. Food? earwax? This was such a waste of my time. Going to the store, waiting to pick up the order, inspecting it, then having to immediately do a return, which took 15 minutes because the pickup had to "process in the system." It took two employees to figure out which buttons to press to undo everything. They suggested I just leave as it would "take a while" and I should just leave my $80 in limbo. I guess there's a reason it was so cheap...literally disgusting, and the employee at least offered me hand sanitizer after I handed this disgusting thing back across the counter. This will be my last "open box" experience with Best Buy.

    Better controller done original. But definitely not worth a rich general price. And too many extra parts.

    Excellent, back triggers can be modified for depth pressure. Some of the buttons are interchangeable. It also has a good texture for grip.

    6 month review.... I'm now on my 3rd elite series 2 controller in 4 years... ive had this one for 6 months. MAJOR problem ..........wait for it.... you guessed it stick drift. come on guys fix it..... #HallEffect sticks and triggers.... its the future embrace it. Way better than analog until they fix this I'm moving on and that really sucks because other than that i love them, but at $180 ???? there are $40 controllers on the market with better sticks and triggers now. build quality is top notch, but internal components need to catch up with the demand of the gaming community. cant recommend anyone to buy this because of that Unfortunately..

    I love the feel of the controls are very responsive didn’t give it five stars because I don’t know if it’s just me or there is no capture button on it.
