    At first the controller felt amazing to use, quick and responsive but as a couple months went by stick drift and sticky buttons began to occur as well as bumpers not registering consistently. Made for a short time not a long one, would not recommend if not ready to buy another one.

      Hey Justin,

      We're glad that you've been enjoying your new Xbox Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry to hear there have been a couple of issues, too. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so, if it's still within the warranty period, we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    My brother in law loves it, but it didn’t come with the customizable back bumpers like the black one. Be aware of that, as you have to buy them separately

    My son says it's great, plays with it a lot, but for 3, times the cost of a usual controller, it is not 3 times better. It was bought as a special gift, not as a normal purchase. If you've got money to spend, buy it, if you think it's too expensive, the normal controllers are good.

    Very solid controller. Does not come with paddles for use. I should have read a bit more closely.

    Amazing controller! The grip is much better than the standard controller. Need to get used to the back paddles but that comes with time. No sticking issues on any button as some reviews suggest. Battery lasts over two weeks without charging with 3 hours of play every night.

    The Elite Series 2 controller is an excellent alternative to the much more expensive Scuf Instinct controller. The only negative about this controller is the amount of stick drift you can get.

    Its solid and works amazingly well on xbox and windows. If you are a mac user go for a ps4 controller. I had to have it repaired once the left joystick stopped working after it fell (short distance). But Microsoft got it all fixed up and back with very little issue ... best repair service experience I have ever had

    Loved the look and feel of the controller, having owned an originally elite. ‘A’ button stuck fresh out of the box, had to return it, were our of stock, will probably buy again next time I wonder into store, elites are worth the money, just need to find another

    This is the best controller I've ever had, and I'm not just saying that. Has the best grip, joystick feel and customization out of any I've tried before, and the charging dock it comes with it simply magical. Highly recommended to pro and casual gamers alike!

    Had the first one and didnt like it but i love this one more than the regular controller even without the paddles the rechargeable battery is worth it. I got this on sale at 130 with total geeks squad protection. So in my opinion worth every cent.
