Glad to have a Elite again
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Owned the first elite for almost 3 years before the LB button finally gave out, decided to upgrade to the elite 2. So far it feels like a durable controller but I also bought the extended warranty in case I have any issues with it down the road like the original elite.

Great controller
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is great for the longest time I swore I’d never spend this much on a controller…it’s worth it! It feels amazing in the hands-very textured and has a great weight!

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does everything you hope it will do and more. The controller is easy to use, easy to charge and the paddles on the back are comfortable. I haven’t had any issues with stick drift but did have a little X button stickiness from first opening. No issues or concerns with the controller and well worth the price tag.

Bad value
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had issues ever since I purchased. Curse seems to want to slowly drift across the screen. Bluetooth constantly disconnects so the only way I can use it is keeping it plugged in. Pretty much a waste
No, I would not recommend this to a friendXbox elite controller! I want the gift card!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller for the price i paid. Would suggest this for Xbox users. Much better than a normal xbox controller

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for the gaming son, he loves it. Holding it compared with regular controller, there is a noticeable upgrade in quality and feel of the materials. He also loves the ability to customize the travel of the back trigger/paddle buttons so you don't have to push it down as far. Feels like a lot for a controller, but it is a nice one.

Not bad, returned, just not for me for price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller but ended up returning it after about 3 weeks of use. Has a few issues and didn’t fully use all the extra buttons and paddles for the price paid. Nice weight and feel but I’m happy with my series controllers.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid controller with a nice weight to it. Adjustable tension in the thumbsticks is great and the charging dock inside the case was a really nice surprise. My only negatives are the lack of extra paddles being included and there not being a medium height thumbstick, the tall thumbstick is just a bit to tall for my liking.

Love it except for one thing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a very nice controller with all the bells and whistles. But my big con was the fact that i cant use my battery chargers. Can only use the plug and play which when you are far from tv gets annoying. If they fixed this id buy 2
I would recommend this to a friendElite all the way
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite controller is the only way to go. The triggers are worth it alone not to mention the weight of the elite. It’s a hefty controller.
I would recommend this to a friendAmazing controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these controllers with all my heart. They’re amazing. I wish they weren’t such a hit or miss with the drift
I would recommend this to a friendBadly made great controller.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great controller but the build quality is awfully. They break almost yearly for me and the cost is too high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAmazing controller!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far this is the absolute best controller I've ever used... it just feels like quality in your hands... and one you're used to using the paddles, you have the upper hand against ppl with a normal controller in any FPS game! I know it's expensive, but if you play a lot of FPS games, do yourself a favor and buy this!!!

Great Controller for more intense gamers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loves the controller just buy hdong it in your hands you can feel the quality in the controller and the extra features are a great addition
I would recommend this to a friendGood for sweaties
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's comfortable. I don't use the paddles it's hard as I have long fingers. I really liked how you can tighten the joysticks. Only thing I really hate about this controller is the triggers. They are a weird feeling plastic and when they have sweat on them its slippery

Worth the money twice.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I probably used my elite 1 everyday 3-4 hours. 2+ years without a problem. So far 1 month in, it feels like the 2 is the same type of quality controller with some better features. Like thumb stick tension control and a built in battery that with my daily use last well over a week. So far so good worth the money if I go 2-3 years again.

Good controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bad a** controller ! The paddles take some getting used to and the customization is crazy . The only downside though is that buttons do sometimes take some force to work, can’t lightly tap it or it might not register other than that great controller
