Best controller in the world
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I've ever used. 4/5 because I've had to send it back TWICE because of issues. MS is pretty quick (7ish days on average from sending back to receiving your replacement) and I cannot play on other Xbox controllers anymore, and it makes the cool PS% dual sense feel like it's just lacking features. I HIGHLY recommend you buy the 2 year replacement plan from BB. For hassle free replacements.

Elite series 2 controller
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is like, legit amazing. It's got these cool adjustable thumbstick things, a grip that feels awesome, and you can totally set up your own gaming profiles. Plus, you can switch it up with different thumbsticks and stuff to match how you game.

Worth it in my experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While there may be some questions about the price of this item, there are a few things that warrant consideration. One of the main reasons I chose this item (along with the obvious controller itself) is because I wanted a case for my controller as well. The controller itself is an improvement over the regular Xbox model, with the addition of the back paddles, but also has a built in rechargeable battery and 2 additional pairs of thumbstick options to swap out. Add all those accessories up and the price may still be a bit on the high side, but I find it worth it. Bottom line, it won't make you a better gamer, but it DID improve MY game with the longer right thumb stick and easier back paddles for some games, and I like that I can leave this in the case and plug the charging cable directly in without unzipping it. I am more than happy with this.

Severe drift right out of the box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the controller as far as the way they made it and the way it feels in the hand. It has a nice premium weight to it that I appreciate. Having the four extra triggers are great I’ve had them for a few years on several controllers so I’m used to that by now but my serious problem is the drift. I’ve read a lot of nightmare reviews about people having a bad drift a few weeks after having it which made me not wanna buy it but I figured I would take a chance. I open the box paired the controller and started the new halo campaign up and instantly there was drift. And no matter what I did or what setting I put it on I cannot fix it I could slow it down a little bit but no matter what it would ruin my game every time . So the fact that I got drift from a brand new controller out of the box is absolutely unacceptable and I will be returning. It’s a shame.

No big deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By no fault of best buy, xbox has this overpriced even for what it can do. The functions are unnecessary.

Some Stick Drift out of the box
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid controller, but I wouldn't say elite. There is a little bit of drift on the right thumbs tick. This can be reduced through the Xbox Accessory App. but from what reviews I have read, this is a fairly normal issue with these controllers. I would say it is worth the Black Friday $100 price point but would recommend going a different way at higher retails.

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is nice and the controller has some weight to it. However, the buttons get stuck after very little time using it and it becomes very annoying. Yes, you can use the paddles as an alternative but sometimes there’s games you want to play regularly. 3 stars overall.

Good controller bordering on great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Time will tell on the grips but it’s already way better than the 1rst version with the built in battery and included chargers and a good battery life. While not as precise as I like in the joysticks they are very good. Triggers are great with more adjustability than previous version. Overall I’d say much better deal than version one even though it cost more, if the grips don’t fall off that is, which they shouldn’t.

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this elite controller. When I saw it, i knew i just had to get it. The color scheme is so dope and so much better than the black one. This controller come with so the extra paddles and stuff but you can go on Amazon and buy the whole set with the case, charging base and and the paddles/thumb sticks. If you want a different feel and look, i would definitely recommend

Excellent Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly other than the stick drift that happens to all controllers eventually this is the best xbox controller. I would recommend you get the warranty with any new controller. I would have given it five stars but that stick drift is a nuisance.

I Love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the Elite controller version 1... I love the textured grip where your palms rest, as well as the additional accessories you get vs the Series 1. For example. there's now a 360 style pop on joystick that's noticeably bigger/rounder than Xbox One's and I LOVE IT! I've missed the bigger/larger sticks so getting this back is welcomed. I just wish they'd make the 360 larger sticks with the textured grip on the rim of it like the Xbox One's sticks so I could have the best of both world's lol. No complaints though!
