    I still have 2 xbox 360s, 2 xbox ones, 1 xbox one s, and also an xbox one x along with all the original controllers. They all still work really well. Only two of the ten old controllers have a slight issue with drift. They are standard stock controllers. This series 2 has such fantastic feel to it. Loved playing with it. But it seems to have slowly acquired all the problems I've read about online. Only 5 months after purchase, it performs worse than my oldest stock 50 dollar controller. Stick drifting, buttons non reactive whenever it feels like it, and disconnecting blue tooth or even hard wired. I love all of my xbox equipment, but sad to say, i wouldn't recommend this controller until Microsoft can fix the many issues it has. Microsoft should reassess where this is manufactured and consider giving the contract for it to a more qualified manufacturer.

    Love the controller with exception of price and the stick drift issue. It's nice that Microsoft finally acknowledged that it was a problem and extended the warranty but it would be better if they would fix the issue. On my second controller in 4 months so we'll see how it holds up. A little on the pricey side when considering the quality issues they have been having.

    I loved my elite controller, it felt good on the hands although after a while u can start to feel the weight but u can customize this controller to whatever feel better to you. I love that u can change pretty much everything. Would definitely recommend if u wanna step your game up a notch.

    This is my fourth Microsoft Elite controller I have owned. All have been purchased from Best Buy. I always purchase the extended warranty because they always seem to develop hardware issues. The controller itself has an excellent feel and performs well. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have a fully functional life of about one year before needing replacement. Its very disappointing for a high quality item like this to have continuing issues!

    Perfect controller. This is my second elite controller. I still have the first, I just wanted a spare. Feels solid. The only difference is that this does not come with the carrying case or the back paddles. I got back paddles elsewhere for $15.
