    I only had my first one for 3 months and the RB button up top stopped working. Bestbuy exchanged it for free. Not sure if it’s because I’m a total tech member or not. I am tho. I had this one for a few weeks. I will update. Other then it falling apart. It does the job. I use it wired, can’t say anything about battery life. I would buy again because I use the paddles on it.

    Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is like, legit amazing. It's got these cool adjustable thumbstick things, a grip that feels awesome, and you can totally set up your own gaming profiles. Plus, you can switch it up with different thumbsticks and stuff to match how you game.

    Got this when I switched from PS to PC gaming. This controller is amazing. Extra buttons come handy when you play. I have a heavy thumb and keep pressing the analogue stick. This controller allows you to disable it and just use the paddles. For me this product was a game changer.

    The elite 2 separates itself with the extra paddles on the back. The layout and feel of these extra paddles are much better than other controllers. The programmable profiles are a nice feature as well. If you are a heavy gamer I would opt for the warranty.

    Excellent controller compared to the one that comes with the XBOX. I’m not a hardcore gamer and probably won’t use it to its full capabilities, but the way it feels in your hand due to the weight and the smoothness of the controls; makes it a great purchase.

    The Good, the bad, the ugly, the series two.

    After needing to replace my series one elite controller, I was able to get in an order for pickup for the series two. And while I haven’t encountered any drift issues, I have a sticky/defunct A button. So now I have one dedicated paddle after doing some remapping of the paddle controls to manipulate the function of the A button. It’s not ideal, however it works in a pinch, took some adjustments on my case, as I had not used the paddles on my series one. Lucked out on the left and right bumper/trigger buttons as they all work without a hitch. I do like how you can adjust the tension in the control sticks a major improvement over the series one, though I do see this eventually leading towards drift issues, especially since I have mine pretty much as loose as possible, FPS and the like, gaming pretty much faster/wider range of motion. To that end I did get geek squad coverage, should a drift issue arise. I can understand why the price may be a no go for some, but if you’ve got a Series S/X, then why not have a controller on the same par (more or less)?
