    This controller is great for playing xbox in a competitive way! My first series 2 had a few issues with bumpers, but now I have this one and it’s working great. I definitely suggest the geek squad protection to help with any shortages or stickiness to the buttons.

    Truly the benchmark for quality in gaming controllers. Solid, feels great, and thorough attention to detail. The triggers are long enough for racing games but can be shortened as well. I only wish they let you choose between the concave joysticks or convex like on Nintendo and Playstation. Concave never made any sense...

    Bad a** controller ! The paddles take some getting used to and the customization is crazy . The only downside though is that buttons do sometimes take some force to work, can’t lightly tap it or it might not register other than that great controller

    I love this controller it’s a good all in one. No matter what game I wanna play it can adapt to what I need the battery life is pretty solid and no more AA batteries. I got mine open box and it was in like new condition minus the oem box but definitely worth the money saved versus new

    Great controller, the grips are amazing and the the buttons are very smooth. It’s a rechargeable controller, all you have to do it out it in the case when you’re done and it will be ready for next time you play. Have not had any issues with it but so far, it’s definitely worth it.

    Straight out of the box controller had massive stick drift. Both thumb sticks have serious drift and has been an issue the entire time I have owned. Did not have this issue with previous gen. Had high hopes but unfortunately this controller is not a home run, single at best.

    Nice product, the added textured grip gives it a good feel. The customization this controller allows is over the top, far more than I was expecting. Very nice.

    I've had other Elite Series 2 controllers and they all broke fairly quickly, so i bought this as a replacement. It's great so far, but if it breaks quickly again I'll update my review
