    For a 180 controller they need to have a longer manufactures warranty. The feel and precision of controller is amazing along with battery life. However shortly after the 90 day warranty expired the left analog stick doesn’t recognize going up until like 5 seconds later. There is no physical damage , but when you go to x box accessories app it shows delayed to none reaction when calibrating controller. So be careful with this purchase because the internet is riddled with complaints on this controller.

    This is a fantastic gaming controller. The only downside is that the grip starts to come undone with heavy play.

    Great controller. Not as good as the original elite controller. Looks are better but quality seems to be a little under the first elite. Bought this one for a friend. Ive had mine for about 6 months now.

    Add the paddles and once you get used to them you are gaming on another level!! Build quality is excellent and the charging dock is a nice touch. It’s a must.

    Bought it new from Bestbuy, mine was scuffed up. It’s quite disappointing that a controller at this cost isn’t perfect upon unboxing. It did feel nice in my hands, that’s why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. But disappointed how it looks. Nothing special about spending 3x the cost of a normal controller, unless you’re a sweaty gamer that needs the paddles, but even then better options are available.

    The new Elite Series 2 is definitely better than the first one. Looks like they strengthen the bumpers which broke three times on the first one. Good thing I bought the warranty. I recommend this to all gamers.

    I want to recommend this. When it works, its amazing.. but 90 day warranty leaves very little confidence in the end user .. especially with the stick drift issue that has plagued this and the first generation
