    Best Xbox controller I have ever used. It fits in my hand perfectly. Conferable after a long play session and the programmable keys are a must now

    Did not realize twisting the joystick makes it come off. During street fighter the joystick gets loose and i have to re tighten during a fight.

    I tried other controllers including Scuff and I believe so far these controllers are better. They seen durable able to tweek the resistance some on each stick which is a plus. Connectivity to PC seem to be alot better than Scuff as well. I recommend these.

    Microsoft has done a great job on the 2nd gen elite controller. My only problem with the 1st gen were the grips and they've completely rehauled them here. They don't feel as tacky at first touch but once I start to play I actually much prefer the grip on the 2nd gen controller. Overall the controller feels much more solid. A little more compact grip which has proven much more comfortable over the last month.

    Great controller but only made it 14 months. With my warranty through Total Tech no big deal, but buy the warrant for sure.

    I had my eyes on this for a while. Bit the bullet after missing out on Black Friday sales but i love the purchase! Its been helpful on games and Fps. And it feels premium with its padding and grip and extra tactical buttons.

    I'm wearing this review of somebody that has disabilities in their hand, and I have to say this is one of the most comfortable and versatile controllers I own. They have become a daily driver not only in the game on the Xbox but also on my gaming PC.

    From the look to the field this is the whole package. It’s got the right weight the right balance and being able to adjust the tension on the triggers and the thums is awesome. I like that they came out with the white one however I would be great if there were more colors and patterns.

    The built-in battery pack and grips are great. Charge lasts 1-2days with 5 hour play. The sensitivity slide bars below don’t seem to make a big difference. I would have liked the paddle controls as an option.

    A lot of problems with the elite 2. Bumpers go out and notorious for stick drift right out of the box but even with all that it’s still better than most others.

    Excellent Upgrade From Series 1

    I upgraded my Elite Series 1 and have no regrets so far. The controller feels very good and high quality. The 3 levels for the trigger buttons is a must have for any first person shooter gamers. Only concern is how the handle grips will hold up since the Series 1 had serious issues with them peeling. A bit pricey but if you're a serious gamer or game a lot this controller is worth it.

    Great controller with excellent features. Only problem, is the issues these controllers tend to develop. Personally, I have gone through at least half a dozen of these controllers since they debuted. Stick drift is a gaurentee. Pretty smooth out of the box, but eventually, they'll break in and its not pretty. Bumpers usually are the next to fail. Haven't had issues with the series 2, as far as rubber grips peeling off. Microsoft has been aware of these issues for quite some time. Doesn't seem like they care, even with the looming class-action lawsuit over these contollers. For the price point, I wouldn't say these are worth it. Only reason i bought another one over the Turtle Beach Stealth, is the elite can still accomadate for the M80 mixamp for Astro A40's. For a little extra $, get something with Hall-effect sticks. They dont break as easy.

    Only issue I’ve run into with this remote is the bummers. Seem to fail sooner than anything else.
