    First one I picked up was missing all of the accessories and was filthy. Returned it and grabbed a different one. Second one was in near perfect condition. Be careful with the open box products.

    Decent. On par with the first generation if you set aside the defective units. I wish it had a little more grippiness. The paddles don't stick out as much on this one. For the price, when it's on sale, I'd say this a very good deal. If you move up to a "better" controller you're going to be paying twice as much.

    BUY THE WARRANTY. I've gone through 3 of these controllers in the last year now because inevitably something breaks on it within 5 or 6 months. My first one i got had issues with the right and left bumpers, so i exchanged it and the next one has issues with the left stick and now the one ive had for only 5 months won't register when i push up on the left stick and sometimes doesnt register the left bumper. Its a real bummer cause these controllers feel and look sturdy and i love having paddles for more tactical gameplay but they nevee last. Now I'm out $200 cause on my third purchass i didnt get the warranty.

    This is my second Elite 2 controller and I can say I won’t go back to a normal controller any time soon. The versatility and customization with the button mapping is amazing with the addition of the back paddles makes playing easier.

    I love how the controller feels but that's about it. Right out of the box the ABXY buttons will randomly double-input.
