I always wanted an Xbox Elite Controller, but what had put me off all this time was the fact that it ran on AA batteries. Imagine my excitement when the Elite 2 was released. It was finally a properly-rechargeable device, and still retains the same great shape as the Elite 1. I love my Nacon, but Xbox controllers always put my wrists at a much more natural angle.
The Xbox Elite 2 is very hefty, yet is so comfortable in your hands I actually like the weight. It has a very solid feel to it. The buttons are crisp and tactile, the shoulder buttons and paddles are perfectly clicky without being to easy or hard to press. The analog sticks have an adjustable tension, and at their max setting they give a really nice springy response. At the lowest they are loose, but still sold with no free play. The adjustable hair triggers are a godsend for people like me who play Monster Hunter. The design is sleek and stealthy, and it comes with a charging dock which I absolutely love.
That is until I realised my A button was missing 2 out of 10 presses. No biggie, I sent it in for an RMA which is pretty good I must admit. Guy comes over, picks up the controller, sends it back and sends a new one to you. My replacement controller came and WTF, it had the exact same issue as the first. A little frustrated, I sent it in for an RMA again. Meanwhile my research revealed that the Elite 2 is apparently plagued with this issue.
3rd controller came back, and IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. After much emailing back and forth with a pretty useless CSO, my 3rd controller is now on its way back to Microsoft. It might be ridiculous that someone who has to RMA his controller 3 times and maybe even more will still give a controller 4 stars, but that tells you how perfect this device is. If it works. I just hope that my next controller will come working as it should, and that Microsoft actually does something about this issue for the later batches because this is a real shame for what could be the best controller in the market hands-down.

I’ve had this keyboard for about a year now. I won it at a tournament for Legaue of Legends. Needless to say, it was an upgrade from my last keyboard. The RGB is as bright as the box advertises it. The CHERRYMX kegs feel great. Even the customizability of the driver is impressive. With cool effects like explosions, fire, and all that fun stuff :)

However, the keyboard isn’t perfect. If I had to nitpick; the keys are too loud. Yes, I know, I like loud keys too. But even for me, they are pretty aggressive. Also, this keyboard is not the easiest to clean. It comes with a key removal tool, at least, but there are so many keys that it takes a while.

To recap,
Pros:
Bright RGB
Great feeling keys
Impressive driver interface
-
Cons:
Very Loud Keys
Hard to clean

I remember my time shopping for a headset when my $20 pair of off-brand plastic from Amazon went *pop*. I'm a Razer guy, always have been and we all know they don't call it the Cult of Razer for nothing; once you're in, you don't come out. Naturally I went to them first, as a loyal Razer customer would! I scrolled past the Nari, the Kraken, the Thresher, and even the Kraken Kitty Edition (like what the actual crap Razer who buys this stuff), and found it: a $70 pair of Razer's Electra USB. A good price for Razer headphones for sure, so without even thinking I added them to my cart and hit checkout. BIG. MISTAKE.
See, what Razer doesn't tell you (like any manufacturer really) is that just because you buy from Razer, doesn't mean you're getting the best you're money can buy. In fact, quite the contrary. Within a day of plugging those suckers in, my audio cuts out on a Discord call. I thought everybody had stopped talking for a while before realizing that it was me. So a quick unplug and plug-in later I had audio back! I contacted Razer support later that day and ran through their troubleshooting steps that all did jack-squat to help it. They also wouldn't let me return it for some reason. I checked Microsoft forums, Discord forums, anything to help the issue and nothing worked. No matter what I was doing, the audio just would cut out at random for no reason.
This is funny because they don't even sound great to begin with. They're quiet, they're muddy, and most importantly, they only work half the time. Don't waste your hard earned dollars on this "budget" headset. Go buy a pair of HyperX's and call it a day. Class dismissed.
