    I really wanted this controller to be the quality that would reflect the price tag. But unfortunately, my second one kept me from trying a third. The first lasted around six months. I’m a light gamer. Took care of how I treated it. The right trigger and right stick started failing. Used my Geek Squad protection and swapped it for the second one. The new controller had the sticking button issue and returned it right away. All the negative reviews on the controller are true. I imagine there are good ones out there by the positive reviews, I just didn’t get that lucky. Too much money to have the negative quality control issues it has. If built with care from the factory, it would be worth the money in my opinion. Great feel and materials. I’m not the third time a charm kind of person. I hope the Elite 3 will address and fix the issues from the previous two. If you do purchase the Elite 2, get the protection plan.

    The body and grips are an improvement over the v1 Elite controllers, but there’s already issues with the RB/LB buttons wearing out and becoming non-responsive like they did with the v1. For the cost, Microsoft really needs to address that. These shouldn’t wear out in 9-12 months for this price. I’ve already had to replace mine once.

    A lot cheaper than buying a traditional elite series 2 xbox controller, definitely a buy if you're boughten a regular elite series 2 controller as all the parts are compatible with this version.

    Got this remote for my 2 boys because they’re hardcore gamers and they love their remotes! Also get the 2 year protection plan because the remotes fragile because sometimes the buttons stick, but no worries it’s normal! Trust me get the plan you will use it and when they check it at Best Buy they will give you a brand new one on the spot!

    Great controller but don’t last very long if you’re a gamer who plays very frequently. I recommend getting the warranty

    From fit to finish this controller is something any avid gamer should lay there hands on. The ability to customize and Taylor the device to fit your hand and game play style is incredible. The paddles took my game to the next level and overall I’m really enjoying it. My only complaint is the price but admit it has been worth every penny.

    Solid investment. I bought it to see if my gameplay could improve with a better controller. It definitely helped most of the FPS games I play. It has a ton of customization options on the controller itself and in the app to change button mapping, etc. Worth it in my opinion. Battery lasts forever.

    Great bang for your buck compared to a highly priced Scuf. Having the ability to remap the back paddles to any button is amazing. I play COD mainly and the only downside is the left thumb stick(L3) and RB doesn’t respond after constant use. Yes you can remap the back paddles to one of those two inputs. But I don’t think the wear should be as quick as it is.

    I'm not a "Hardcore" gamer yet I do enjoy some button smashing. This controller is a great addition to my Series X gaming console and I greatly appreciate the sturdy build quality especially the rechargeable battery inside as well as the tighter joy stick feel. Only con I say is the price... they can sale these for at least $100.00 and below but that's my opinion.

    Good controller, but drift is a problem

    I bought another one because I do really like them, but the first one I had started to have that right stick drift after a little less than 2 years, which at least on Ark Survival Evolved made the game unplayable with it making my player look straight at the ground constantly even if just standing still. There are plenty of videos online about this issue, (the spraying air and using alcohol "solutions" on some videos did not work) and I can say that from my experience it is real problem and should be unacceptable for the lofty price; MS should at least have a longer warranty for this particular issue.
