Best controller for PC
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best controller on the market right now, as a PC user. Just switched from a PS4 controller so I'm still adjusting but no other controller has as many options as this does. A best buy agent helped me with this purchase and I greatly appreciated it. Always buying from best buy whenever I can.

Shines Bright but Briefly - Great but Breaks EAsil
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very solid high quality controller. It's substantial weight, interchangable thumbsticks and D pad make for a great gaming experience. Paddles as optional inputs also makes this a great controller. Controller charges by USB C instead of having any internal batteries. Not a deal breaker for me but I can imagine that turns some folks off. My biggest problem is I had stick drift within a few months of using it just outside of the original warranty period. Many people seem to have this problem and it's not easily repairable by end users, even if you're use to taking these things apart. Luckly Microsoft extended the original warranty recently and I was able to get it repaired. Otherwise, I would have had to junk this. This is the 2nd elite controller I've had with the same issue. I would caution anyone against buying this unless you buy the extended warranty.

Noticeable upgrade from standard controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from standard controller. There is a noticeable difference. I don't know if its wort almost double the price. If you find it on sale for 109.99 then I would say its worth it.

Somehow, I prefer regular controllers.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The build quality is awesome and it’s a beautiful piece of technology, but there are several fundamental flaws that still have not been completely fixed in this second generation of elite series controllers. Within days I was experiencing: -Stick drift -dropped connection mid-game -delayed response in left stick input (visually confirmed in the Xbox accessories app) For this price, I would absolutely expect this controller to be perfect. Instead, I got an absolutely gorgeous controller with a lot of problems. They may not be noticeable to a casual gamer, but what casual gamer is buying a $180 controller? Three stars because I’m having it replaced and I’m hoping I just got an exceptionally bad copy. If it’s another dud, 1 Star for sure.

Excellent remote!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best remote I’ve had so far. Buttons are comfortable and easily removable. Battery life is astonishing. Days of play before battery starts to drain. Sturdy with more options opposed to the basic remote. Totally satisfied.

Top Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller feels better then the average controller right when you pick it up. Buttons, sticks & triggers are smooth. Also has the adjustable trigger on the back which is convenient, I highly recommend especially if you just want a comfortable controller!

Highly Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved it so much that I bought a second one for my older Xbox and a third for my brother. My first gen Elite controller started having issues with the river grips and this one seems to be holding up much better.

Precision
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fresh out of the box, it's an absolute beast, but tends to show its age after a year. If you're purchasing this, do yourself a favor a get the 2yr warranty as it's notorious for stick drift after continuous use.

Excellent controller, very well designed.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using this controller for the better part of a year now and it has been nothing but perfect. I love the fact that so many of the parts are modular and can be swapped out or removed. The controller is very well balanced and feels very comfortable during long play sessions. The charging dock and case are excellent as well. It's expensive but definitely worth the price.

Elite Series 2
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome controller. Back paddles take some getting used to but after a bit become super comfortable. The remapping ability is super useful and easy to use in Xbox. The hair-trigger adjustments work flawlessly with both triggers. The thumb sticks swap out really easy and overall it’s a great value for the money. Plus the added case is a nice bonus!

Great when they aren't broken
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When they work, best controller for the Xbox. They have a VERY high failure rate and only a 3 month factory warranty, so the geek squad protection plan is a must and well worth the 2 years of coverage. I Own 3 of these controllers by the way. If they didn't have such a high failure rate I would give them 5 stars all day.

Be Cautious or Get that WARRANTY BUT YESSS
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite controller EVER! Sadly with the biggest flaw being it falls apart pretty fast. Take very good care of it or make sure to get warranty.
