    So I am reviewing this 9 months after purchase. This replaced an elite series 1 controller that had the drift issue with the right stick. This has held up longer, but I now have some drift in the left stick. I don't play rough with the thing so I'm a bit disappointed I'm running into issues already. 90 day warranty is BS... might need to stick with the cheap controllers moving forward...

    It’s a great controller, but after only a couple of days, the B button started sticking. I have mailed it in for repair to Microsoft. I will update when I get it back.

    Really nice hand feel and button response. The paddles are smaller than the first elite controller, accidental pushes are less but they’re almost too small. The paddles from the first elite I seem to be compatible, but I had issues with what would be the B paddle not consistently working, so you could mix and match. The rechargeable battery is a nice addition and the 3 position triggers are really nice.

    Awesome! If you’re wondering if it’s worth the big price tag, buy it. It’s more configurable than you think and rarely needs charging!

    I've tried many aftermarket controllers for the paddle functionality and this is by far the best. Very sturdy and high quality.
