    This is my second elite controller. Had the original version when I was console gaming but have switched to pc but haven't gotten used to the whole keyboard/ mouse combo yet. So far no stick drift and love the trigger locks and programmable buttons. Feels better than the wolverine ultimate I used to game with

    Open box version works perfect. Great discount compared to buying new. Zero issues whatsoever and all accesories included. Only thing missing was original packaging.

    The controller feels better then the average controller right when you pick it up. Buttons, sticks & triggers are smooth. Also has the adjustable trigger on the back which is convenient, I highly recommend especially if you just want a comfortable controller!

    Had to return the controller after I found one of the paddles wasn't functioning. This was not fun to deal with of course, but the exchange process was easy, and the controller feels great to use for console gaming!

    I love this controller. Soo good. I use the extra back buttons and tabs all the time. Makes gaming so much better now. Also the new d-pad should be standard now on new Xbox controllers it’s that good.

    Solid replacement for elite series 2 but i wouldn't buy without the add ons. Parts relative to the more expensive version seem plastic which means it will likely break earlier.

    I have owned the elite 1 and now the series 2 elite. I can confirm the best controller on PC and Xbox has been supplanted by the newer model. The build quality is top notch, button response perfect, joysticks have no drift, and the joystick tension adjustment is amazing. The carrying case now has a charging dock also. I recommend this to anyone looking for the best.

    I like this controller. I’ve had it for about 4 years, but the biggest issue is that I need to replace it at least once within each year, whether it’s due to joystick drift or bumper buttons not working properly. Luckily, I bought the warranty ($60) and I’ve been able to get it replaced without dropping almost $200 every time. Wish it was higher quality but I’ve settled for this because I simply cannot go back to a regular (paddle-less) controller.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
