    I bought this for my husband and he seems to enjoy much more than his regular Xbox controller. The price is a little to high imo but great none the less.

    This controller comes stripped of the paddles and the charging station which is fine. I already have that from the previous elite and it was nice to save some money.

    After owning the elite series 1 controller for 4 years, I decided to give this controller a shot. Its clear to me that Microsoft has since stopped caring about product quality and placed the emphasis on marketing. I was initially impressed by the build quality of this product (it feels very high quality and well built in the hands), but actually using the controller is another story. Right out of the box, the Y button would consistently not register my button presses. This basically made the controller unusable as I need that button for the games I play. I thought I had got a defective controller, so I returned it for another one. To my surprise, the second controller not only had the same issue, but was also doing it on the A button. This product is straight up unusable, no matter how good it looks or feels. It’s sad that paying more than double the price of a regular controller, only gets you a nice paper weight. I cannot recommend this product to anyone. I returned the second controller and got the Razer Wolverine, which has exceeded my expectations.

    Big improvement over the series one as far as functionality. The hair trigger is much better the fact you can tighten the joy sticks to your liking is a added plus gives you better feed back. To me it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the series one though. The bumper buttons seem a little weaker. But the control feels slimmer which again in my opinion is better. Still think it is over priced but still a great controller if you want to spend the money
