    Works great until they don't right You get a solid year, half a year in so make sure to get a warranty before the drift creeps

    Bought this for pc and after trading it in twice the bluetooth on both doesnt work. they want you to shell out more money for the adapter which is ridiculous for a $200 controller. the weight is great although i wish it was slightly larger for my hands. if you do purchase get the warranty!

    My previous elite controller died after three years. So this is my replacement. Did not even second guess buying the same thing.

    I was not expecting to love this controller as much as I do. My experience with different games and how you can have 3 different types of settings for different games is awesome. You can also have the light different color.

    Unfortunately the elite-2 controllers have a tendency to start having problems with stick drift or button sticking. For the cost of the controllers its seems they should be better built. I would recommend getting a warranty on it. My son is on his 3rd one in 2 years.

    Feels very solid. Does not suffer from analog stick issues over time as the regular controllers do.
