However, some customers have reported issues with stick drift and button quality.

    great feel in your hands. Buttons are nicer than the series 1 controller. I like the weight. A little pricey but worth it.

    Item works well, only wish it included the pads. It's something not clearly called out on the description.

    Best wireless option for Xbox

    This controller is better than the default Xbox controller in every way. The paddles are great if you have finger/thumb issues like I do. There are basically no good wireless aftermarket options outside of this; the Scuf controller is wireless, but it runs on AA batteries, which I don't want to deal with.

    I’ve had this controller over a year and have had no problems with it. I’m just an average game player so mostly bought this controller because I was tired of having to purchase a new regular controller every year and hoped this one would last longer. So far it has not disappointed. It is heavier than the regular controller but that doesn’t effect my opinion of it as it is still fairly comfortable to use. I like that you can swap out the controller sticks easily.

    The Elite Series 2 is an amazing controller. The adjustment and customization lets you dial in the controller for each game and your personal play style.

    Best Xbox Accessory

    A lot of people have complained about the build quality of this controller. I have not had a single issue and think that it is way better than the default controller included with an xbox. It has a great weight and easily swappable joysticks, d-pad, triggers and everything. The ability to adjust the length of the trigger pulls is a great addition as well as the tension adjusters for the joysticks. The rubberized texture feels extremely good in the hands too!

    If you are looking for a premium controller, this is a great choice. For the price this is one of the best paddle controllers you can get. All buttons are fully customizable with the software. If I played more controller this would be my everyday controller! love the charger and case that comes with it also. Used it with my computer and it worked great wired and wirelessly. I ended up returning it because I play mostly with mouse and keyboard.
