Absolute must buy!

The configurable buttons, paddles, triggers, and sticks allow you to take over the competition on any game you play. The battery lasts for days of play and it doesn’t lose sync with your console.

Amazing controller with huge flaws
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing controller. The amount of ways you can customize the controller are huge, and the in console settings are also limitless. The problem is that this is hugely faulty controller. Face buttons were going out a little over half a year after it was purchased, and it was not used too much. And this is a common issue unfortunately. I've lucked out that i had total tech so I could easily swap out the controller for a new one. Cause for a controller that costs $170, these faults are inexcusable.

Xbox elite controller series 2
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an excellent controller, easy to use. I do recommend that you purchase the geek squad repairs services. I've had mine for a little over a year and have some stick drift, other than that still fully operational. It's a bit complicated to fix yourself.

Amazing Controller!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Elite series 2 is an amazing controller. The level of customizations you can have seem endless and it feels great in the hands! It is an expensive unit, but if you play xbox consoles even a moderate amount then this will improve your overall gaming experience.

Gen2 elite controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love elite controllers. I buy them for both myself and my son. Bought a set of gen 2s to replace the gen 1s we both had. I can't game with a normal controller after owning an elite. The new changes to the controller were also very nice.

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you like things being broken out of the box, then wowee have I got a product for you. I've had 3 of these things so far and I'm not sure how much I want a 4th.. EVERY SINGLE ONE of these things has had a problem with the left thumbstick. Not just 'oh a problem', but a very specific, 100% reproducable problem. Can confirm using the xbox accessories app. First one, with in a month of unboxing the left thumbstick would produce a random input, it would move the direction you pushed it but give a random value; up was the worst. You could barely walk around. It was awful. Second one had the same issue immediately upon opening. Third one I've had for almost 3 months and now the left thumbstick is producing random input values for left and right. Sometimes right is worse, sometimes left is worse. Depends on the day. Up and down have a different problem, sometimes when you give the stick a quick flick and release, the input value slowly returns back to center instead of instantly. Needless to say, this is marketed as a top shelf, high quality, precision/competitive controller and it's more of a sloppy mess. It's impossible to play rocket league at a champ level with this thing. Apex feels like I'm ice skating all the time and you can't strafe left or right reliably, making you an easy target for even the noobiest of noobs. The best part is, its never a problem with anything else; right thumbstick works perfect, rear buttons are flawless, face buttons are decent (sometimes they double press when you push it once, it's fairly rare tho and could be an xbox live bug since I can pin point it to certain screens usually an on screen keyboard) love the triggers, the dual stage trigger locks are amazing, bumpers feel nice, can store 3 presets, thumb sticks have an adjustable tension attribute, which I honestly think is the cause of the random values. Controller is comfortable, grips are little bit slippery but I don't mind that. I'd rather have a working left thumbstick. For the $180 I spent I expected perfection. I'm pretty sure I'm either going to get a scuff for xb1 or I'm going to get a scuff for ps4 and run 3rd party software to hook the ps4 controller up to my xb1. I've seen the same 3 ps4 controllers get thrown at a tile floor, repeatedly, by 2 different children and it's like nothing even happened. I'm confident this elite 2 would be in 15 pieces if I let them treat it the same. (It wasnt btw, I treat it like a kings crown, never dropped, only handled when necessary, used the d-pad instead of thumb sticks for scrolling menus, etc.)

Fantastic wireless controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gift for grandson who has CMT that effects the nerves in his hands. This controller has increased his ability to be competitive and he now enjoys game playing and communication with game players world wide. I understand it is compatible with the new Xbox coming out in November.

Xbox elite series 2 is awesome
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the series 1 and loved it, I had originally bought it because I was breaking the regular controls in month. The elite controller proved to be very durable and the custom-tailored buttons make it far superior. With all of that being said the series 2 knocked it out of the park.....
