Pros

It's the first xbox controller i've ever used that intermittently drops out. The xbox accessories software on windows also allows you to customize any button on the controller to do the effect of any other button. This has lasted me about a year so fa...  Read More

The xbox elite series 2 core wireless controller in blue is a standout gaming accessory that delivers on all fronts. It has an ergonomic and customizable design that adapts to the needs of every gamer. I love that the paddles are interchangeable with ...  Read More

This controller is an upgraded version of the previous model, the xbox elite series 1. It comes in the usual elite packaging. It depends if people would be okay with knowing it's the cheaper version, and owning it.



Cons

Magnetic thumb sticks just seem like a goofy idea. They cheap out on the bumpers (lb and rb) and it's noticeable. Stick drift starts happening at about 6 month of owning.

Packaging, refurbishing, and then selling as a new conditioned product isn't what's supposed to happen. Horrible packaging and the box stank.

Quality


Feels very well made and the customizable aspect is nice.


Alot of customizations to be had and all great quality

Shipping


We received it before my sons bday on the 12th.

Packaging/appearance


It’s definitely worth the money and everything is perfect the only thing i didn’t like was the day of my package arrived it was...  Read More


The controller i received has no button issues or stick drift out of the box.


The packaging is good, charging dock is convenient and you can charge with the dock while in its case - but if you do get the a...  Read More

Competitiveness


Companies like flydigi are offering tension adjustments along with these modern joysticks, and completely custom macro ability ...  Read More


Got this to use with my laptop and it works way better than the standard xbox controller.


I'd argue today that there's no reason to buy this controller anymore unless you specifically are an xbox gamer as so many good...  Read More


Compared to the scuff controller, i think this one is better overall.

    This has unfortunately become a bit of a reputation for this controller you may have to go through a lottery to get one that works

    Im happy to report though that the replacement i got back then still works though i have had to manually replace two things


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately the rear paddles ended up being a disappointment as you can really only map existing buttons to the triggers without using third party software rewasd which i eventually ended up purchasing in order to set up macros
