    Xbox Elite 2 with the Xbox Series X honest review

    This controller offers everything you need for the Xbox Series X. This is an official Microsoft controller so you don't have to worry about it getting blocked from the console. I have purchased other Xbox Series X controllers and the build quality is quite different. You can feel the weight of this controller and tell it is not a 3rd party plastic knockoff. I highly recommend this controller.

    I have for a long time been very displeased with XBOX controller that were manufactured by Microsoft. You ended up paying a premium price for a product that was anything but. They would malfunction after a marginal amount of time, and even physically break with little wear and tear. The Elite 2 is proving to be a step in the right direction. The premium build quality and vast amount of customizable features make for a very well made, and well conceived controller. USB-C or wireless charging by way of a docking station that is provided are great additions to improve the value. The down side is really the idea that it takes over $150 of a price tag for Microsoft o provide a quality controller option. But at least it's a pretty good one.

    Overall great controller. Not the most durable though. Small drops and the inside tabs are destroyed.

    The Core controller is good enough for the price. I definitely would buy the accessories but not necessary, just wanted to get an extra one so my son and I can play together.

    Xbox knows these elite controllers will break easily so instead of fixing the overall issue they make a controller that doesn’t come with a case or extra buttons. Its their way to cheap out and make the consumer pay more and more for their mistakes. Works fine but be warned once you use these its hard to not and you’re stuck buying expensice controllers.

    Cheaply made. Stick drift and bumpers always fail with very little use. Will never buy an elite again.

    It's awesome, but do yourself a favor & get some kind of extended warranty. Tends to wear out quickly. I've replaced a couple over the past 2 yrs.

    Love/Hate Relationship with these controllers. Without a doubt better than any aftermarket controllers (Scuf). Purchased to replace a worn out Elite Series 2. Unfortunately right out of the box the back button broken.

    Good: Excellent controller, takes everything you like about a regular Xbox controller and makes it better. Adds bottom ABXY paddles so you can keep your right thumb of the joystick. USB-C charging and good battery life. Swappable sticks, nice case. Adjustable trigger length is awesome- I use it on the shortest setting for everything but racing games Meh: price is high- $120 seems more reasonable. Warranty was initially 90 days, Microsoft has bumped that to 1 year due to “mechanical failures” Bad: left stick has failed after 10 months of light and gentle use. An additional 2-3 year warranty feels like a requirement at this price point

    Tired of running out of batteries or swapping batteries in the midst of a game, this is the controller for you, or the kids, or that someone you love. On a full charge you can get several hours of gameplay and it proves as a great alternative if you dont want to go for the elite 2. I recommend this purchase

    the paddles in the back make this controller superior to the standard xbox controller. the black and silver looks sleek. my only complaint is the r2 and L2 buttons stop working after a while and the controller needs to be replaced after a year. (I will still probably keep getting this controller unless something more durable comes out)
