    The controller itself is excellent but make sure to buy the protection plan as they break easily.

    Unfortunately it had to be returned because one of the thumb sticks would stick in whichever direction it was pushed. But I'm sure overall they are fine. I simply got a replacement and have not had any problems with the 2nd elite controller since.

    It works well but the A button is intermittent already after only a couple of months of light use (8-12 hours a week). No issues with the grips yet like the first elite. The elite series 2 joysticks do work so that's a plus.

    Nicest controller so far, but it died way sooner than I expected. It hasn't died completely, but it just keeps blinking and doesn't connect. And the none elite controller also broke but because of another flimsy excuse.

    only reason is not 5 stars is the grip started to fall off 6months after purchasing. For the price i dont find this acceptable, but the upgrades this has over the first gen version it is much better over all and i daily drive this still to the day.

    Good controller, buy the warranty just in case but the new manufacturing process seems to have fixed a lot of the issues.
