    First controller had issues, 2nd one is fine. I'm not sure about the quality of this controller, it seems good but not at the same time. If you get it get the warranty.

    Great if you like out of the box stick drift.

    At this point, I've been through about a dozen Elite Series 2 controllers. Every single one of them has stick drift out of the box and I have video to prove it. The thumbsticks are fundamentally flawed. Xbox needs to go back to the drawing board and finally release a premium controller with hall effect sensors. Although this controller seems to be well built and every other function is great, the thumbsticks are the most important aspect of a controller since they are used to aim. This drifts so bad I cannot recommend this controller.
