Customizable is its key feature
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Go to gaming remote for my kids that can be purchased at Best Buy. Be Customizable is great for preferences. BUT I have had to replace this controller twice due to broken/none responsive buttons/controllers each time within a year of purchase.

Replacement controller, solid purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as a replacement to my Elite v1. It’s subtly different, it feels better in my hands and the grip feels better than the original. The change to USB-C is a welcome addition, and the charging dock is cool. This is the ultimate controller and it’s forward compatible to the newest console generation.

Good for a year or so.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really an amazing controller... for the first year or so. The combination of the balanced weight, texturized grip, and upgraded button placements, with traditional xbox shape and feel, truly makes this a great investment for mid to high end gaming, or just to bump up your game play. This was my first upgrade from a normal controller and can never go back. The sad part, is this is my 3rd controller. After about a year or so, some of the buttons stop working, thus making it useless.

Excellent Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the Elite pro 2 remote and basically this is the same controller without the extra paddles. However, of you already own an Elite pro 2, you can use the attachments from it on this one which saves you a few dollars.

The best PC controller EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is amazing. It's so customizable and durable. The grips are truly non-slip. I play video games for hours and my hands to get sweaty, but they never slip due to the high quality material of the controller. I have used all other types of controllers for the PC and this by far is the best.

Huge advantage over the competition
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These controllers are amazing! They feel great, they are durable, they are super easy to get set up if you know what you’re doing. Gives you a HUGE advantage over anyone using a regular controller. In my opinion the back buttons are placed in better positions than SCUFF controllers.

Elite 2 Core Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Elite 2 controller is awesome. Doesn’t come with the paddles so if you don’t have those, you can’t use it to it’s full extent. It is definitely worth the purchase though

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As expected, performs well, definitely one of the best xbox controllers if not the best. Only slight complaint is the back buttons are a little stiff, just had to get used to them

Great except...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite 2 controller is an amazing product except for the fact that the right joystick had drift in it the 2nd day I used it. If you're unfamiliar with the term "drift", when referring to a controller, it means "a joystick that inputs movement even when you're not touching it".

Posted .Hi there,
We're sorry that there's an issue with thumbstick drift on your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. If that's not possible, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance under the controller's 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution
Hope that helps,

Good controller beware of bumpers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller out there for competitive gamers. You have to buy the protection plan because your RB button will be having an input delay or even no input response at all. So if you're okay with replacing the controller so often then this is for you.

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Series 2 improved on the controller from the first one as well as add a 40hr battery and can play 2 and a half days before needing a charge

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an owner of the first Elite, this one is better so far, in every way. I do however, prefer the old way of swapping batteries, vs the built in battery in the long run, fearing not being able to change batteries. Other than that, it's excellent. I have so far, had none of the issues mentioned in other reviews. Excellent controller!
