Is this some kind of sick Joke?
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is this is some kind of sick joke? I bought last summer and it seemed to be fine then both bumpers stopped working. So I sent it into Microsoft for service under warranty. They sent me back a new controller which when I unpackaged had a completely different issue with the left thumbstick. How can they service the and send back a replacement only to have even more frustrating problems on the first day I opened it. This doesn't belong on the shelf it's not worth half what I paid.

I would recommend this to a friendLevel up
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily level up your gaming skills with the back paddles that allow you to use all your fingers
I would recommend this to a friendNot bad for the pricepoint.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price its a solid choice, but not for me. The paddles are too easy to click, you have to hold the controller a certain way. Its also a bit heavy for my tastes, battery is non removable. I would say give this a shot and if you dont like it, then go for the scuf instinct pro.
I would recommend this to a friendBest Controller ever manufactured!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you serious SERIOUS about winning on a XBOX this is the only controller you should even consider ! The response , the fedback are unpalleled !
I would recommend this to a friendGreat controller but cheaply made
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller itself is amazing. Lots of customizable options. Has a rechargable battery via USB C so that's a plus. My only issue is that it's still a typical Microsoft controller. After 3 months of light usage, both analog sticks were drifting. I had to put a bit of force into the left analog stick in order to register. I suggest getting the best buy replacement plan for this controller.

Super Unreliable Controllers
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is possibly the best feeling controller to hold and use, however the durability of these controllers is the worst ive seen. Standard Xbox One controllers tend to last me about 1 year. This controller lasted me around 500 hours before being completely useless with stick drift. That ended up being around 1 year. However the other elites I owned averaged 3-6 months before breaking. That includes one other elite version 2. The quality on these controllers is very low. The Razer Wolverine may be a better secondary option for now. Though many modern controllers have stick drift issues. The controller should not be 200 bucks without figuring a work around or modular option to replace the sticks when they start drifting. I end up burning through the replacement warranties and its not worth it.
