Quality problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is not too much better than the basic Xbox controller, and it is much heavier than the basic controller. The reason I buy it is for its four back paddles. I do not recommend it for its quality and current price if you do not need the back paddles. I have three of them, this is the third one. Two previous ones failed at some point in a year. One has a drift stick, and the other's stick does no click. Microsoft really needs to do better job for a more quality product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Love it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth it? YES. It's heavy which makes it feel sturdy, the paddles on the back add extra inputs (which I love) and the trigger locks are a godsend for shooters.

Great Upgrade from Elite Series 1
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite series 2 has solved all the issues from the original. The analog stick tension adjustment is the best feature. Overall the controller is well build and feels solid. I am happy with the internal battery life as I go weeks between charging.
