Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No issues so far a lot of the problems I see with people online is that they manhandle there controllers. If you spend 170 for a controller treat it like a Baby

Amazing controller, BUT
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing stopping me giving this a 5/5 is Microsofts poor QC on these controllers. The bumpers or buttons will end up always going out on you. Other than that they're excellent controllers

From Elite One to Two
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a mix feel for this, seems like it’s beyond my Xbox one x, I’ve notice a little lag with input from time to time, but when it’s plug it, it’s perfect. There’s a lot you can do to tune it over the first series. Maybe there’s a update in the future for the lag issue or perhaps the X Series will be able to keep up. Of course if had a choice I would have brought another series 1.

Luxury, Not Value
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a great value proposition for the casual gamer but if you're into it you'll ignore logic and buy this. The paddles on the underside take some getting used to and may actually be an annoyance to those used to the regular style controller. Good build quality. D-pad is an upgrade. Does the cool outweigh the price? Your call!

Good until not
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked well while it lasted. I only play rocket league on pc with this controller and legitimately I’ve always taken care of my stuff but these controllers break probably within a year on average for most. My thumb sticks are the only reason I’m now on my 4th controller and it’s out of hand. But while it works it’s great!

Best Xbox Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My overall favorite controller. The weight, the paddles and feel of the grips make this, for me, the overall best console controller to use.

I really wanted to love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I’m fully aware of all the reports and issues that came with this at its launch so I probably like many others , decided to wait and see if they fixed whatever they needed to in the later batches. I was wrong. From the extensive research I did about this, not many people were looking at “lot numbers” to see which ones were faulty and which weren’t. I ordered this about 2 weeks ago and from what I found, it was the newest lot number, #2011. So I thought I’d have a good chance at a solid one. Nope. Literally 1 week in, the joystick was drifting . And because these are so out of stock so often, Best Buy couldn’t swap mine out so I’m forced to either play with a broken one or return it altogether and wait weeks or even longer to get a new one and HOPE it’s not the same lot number. This is kind of ridiculous. I even bought the 2 year warranty on it because I was gonna be “okay” with the chance it breaks after 6 months when both Microsoft and Best Buy standard exchanges would be done. One week people... one. And I’m not the only one , 1000s of people are getting this within 30days. I don’t understand it. I have been a Xbox and Microsoft fan since 2005. I’m gonna hold out and see but I’m honestly thinking of switching over to Sony and the PS5 if this keeps up. I know I won’t be the only one in that dilemma either.

Posted .Hey there,
We're sorry that there's an issue with the thumbstick drifting on your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If you'd rather not wait for assistance through Best Buy, it should still be covered by the manufacturer's warranty through Microsoft. We recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution
Hope that helps,

Finally cheaper option without the case and extras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using the Elite series of controllers since gen 1, it is nice to finally have a cheaper purchasing option than the $180 original gen 2 with the case and charging base.

Almost Perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its such a nice high quality controller. The only thing I dont like is the Dpad. Not ideal at all for fighting games. But very customizable and great for casual games otherwise.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normal xbox controllers just didn't cut it for me anymore. I had the series 1 elite controller and loved it to death. Now with the series 2 out I had to have it as I gave away my series 1. This controller takes it to the next level with adjustable thumb sticks, over the series 1. Along with the dock charger which is such a great idea. I use it for my pc and it works flawlessly for steam and windows 10 games.

Great controller for PC and Xbox.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was skeptical at first as a PlayStation fan but using this for my PC has changed gaming for me for sure. Takes a bit to get used to but much better than the old Xbox controllers and I feel maybe better than the ps4 layout. Paddles come in handy quite often. Joysticks are interchangeable so less hassle. Normally on sale too and Best Buy will price match (:(:

MY FIRST PC :)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using the Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller I can confidently say I will not be going back to stock controllers anytime soon. Another great investment for someone looking to upgrade their setup! I got mine on clearance because it was returned too. LOOK FOR THE DEALS!

Best controller out there!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the Series 1 for many hours and loved it. This Series 2 is improved in every area. The grip feels slightly off at first, but after some use, it feels great and grippy. The rechargeable battery is great and it’s awesome that you can put the controller in its case to charge. The thumb stick options are better this time around as well as the paddles. Love that you can adjust tension of thumbsticks this time around.

Better than before
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's better than an Xbox one elite controller? An Xbox one elite series 2 controller. More options, more programs, they fixed the issue with the paddles getting in the way of your fingers wrapped around the bottom of the controller. 3 programmable settings for 3 different games instead of 2 with the previous controller. Price us crazy high tho, add in the extended warranty and that's alot of costco pizza i could buy

Great controller steep price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely LOVE this controller. There are negative reviews for it though with buttons sticking and bumpers breaking but tbh I just think some people don't treat their belongings very well. Ive had no issues and love how easy it is to use. The back paddles do take some getting use to but once you do its very hard to go back to anything else. The battery is rechargeable through USB c and its good for about 40 hours.

Nice quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller to play on my pc because I’m no use to play on keyboard. I would say this controller is a much better than the Scuf controller on quality. I have been using this controller and both thumbs switch hasn’t tear like the scuff. One cons is that price/value have to be lower down a little. After all I’m amazed playing on pc with this controller.
