    Bad idea to buy open box

    I purchased one "Open Box - Excellent". It was extremely dirty, it had food crumbs, dirt and grime stuck in every nook and cranny. It had scratches, and a damaged cord. It did not have the original packaging, overall it was fair at the most. Fortunately I was able to gather a little extra cash and just exchange it for a brand new one. I would recommend to never purchase anything open box. The brand new one is top notch. Definitely worth the 5 stars

    Fantastic Controller, Consider Extended Warranty

    Very solid controller, miles better than the original which I still own, the only issue is the Quality Control on this controllers. Mine came with a broken Right Bumper that registers twice, and the sticks have drift. All I have to say is if you're going to be serious about this controller consider the extended warranty for a little more so you can return the controllers for the next 2 years.

    Great controller. The adjustable triggers and back paddles are why I purchased, but the different joysticks and how customizable the sensitivity and dead zones are is a massive benefit as well.

    The right bumper goes bad, this is my 3rd elite 2. I get a year out of them on average. At least now it's a bit less $ without all the triggers and sticks of which I have several sets of. Sending them to Microsoft for repair is a nightmare, and they send you someone else's they fixed. I'd rather save the time and aggravation and just buy a new one.

    Expensive Disappointment

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've always like Xbox controllers since I have bigger hands so they're more comfortable. And this is no exception. However, I've never had a controller get stick drift so fast. That and it sometimes disconnects while in use. Went and bought an 8 BitDo Ultimate instead and much prefer that.

    I was really hyped when this controller was announced @ E3. I couldn’t wait to upgrade from my gen 1 Elite controller. Maybe I should of waited longer... This controller has got to be the most expensive junk I have ever used. If you are a competitive gamer I.e. play PRO AM or above this thing could cost you everything. Don’t be fooled by the 5 star reviews, No disrespect but a lot of the reviews for this are from average to medicore gamers, Impressed by Battery life. Let’s start with the fact that the sticks had terrible drift right out the box. Number 2. If you play competitive chances are you want your button presses to register, NOPE!! It’s literally a 50/50 you get button registry. Number 3 isn’t that big but the internal battery can’t be removed. It’s gotten to the point now, I play with my Gen 1 or my Scuff for reliability. Really hoping they fix this thing the potential was really there. It’s feels really good in your hand and trigger pulls feel nice but, hey at least you can play wireless for 3 days without a charge. *Microsoft Priorities smh.
