    Really good controller and comfortable grip. Only issue is that I didn't have the replacement parts that it came with like it sated on the box. but overall quite happy with it, plus really long battery life. I only had to charge maybe once or twice since I bought

    Xbox Elite Controllers are the standard in Gaming. I even use them on my PC. Great weight, reliable and durable.

    Love all the features of this controller, feels solid and of good quality. Some people complain about the weight but it makes it feel premium to me. I suggest get the the geek squad protection since I feel like no controller is safe from the eventual stick drift or a button messing up.

    Is a controller really worth this kind of cash? I would normally say no, but this surprised me. Response time, customization, the weight and feel… all top notch.

    This is my second Elite S2 the first lasted about a year and the left stick was broken all the way up couldn't bring it back down. The A button would get stuck down and the LB RB would stick. Keep in mind im retired and I game constantly, well over 90hrs a week, so I'm pretty abusive to my controllers. I would guess about 2-3 years for a normal usage gamer. I love the controller and im going to keep buying them as they break until they have a new model. Its conformable customizable and lasts way longer than your standard edition. Sure its expensive but I think the price is worth it. (Get the warranty)

    Absolutely amazing controller, i made the switch from a regular xbox controller to this one and i an not disappointed. The quality is so nice and love that it's so customizable. Does take some getting used to the petals on the back but once you do, game changer! Force yourself to play with the petals and youll grt used to them in no time.

    I had bought this controller when it first came out and decided to get a 2nd one for my 2nd xbox series x. It's definitely a major upgrade from the elite series 1 controller. The rubber grips are better and I love how I'm able to change the tension on the thumb sticks. The quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. Very easy to set up and update and map the buttons to your liking. My only con about this controller is that's it's a little more expensive than the original elite controller with only a couple of upgrades. I would definitely recommend this to any hardcore or pro player.

    I had an elite controller before this but it broke so I got this and swapped over my paddles. Everything with the old controller is compatible with the new one. Only difference i noticed was it was a bit lighter which was great because the older one was very heavy compared to a typical controller. Still had a great feel to it though and felt like quality.

    You can’t go wrong with a classic. I’ve tried other controllers over the years that are cheaper and supposedly higher quality. I’ve tried off brand, standard on brand, wired, wireless. I always come back to this.

    It feels phenomenal, just like every Elite controller Microsoft makes. But just like every Elite controller Microsoft makes, it wears too quickly. The rubber grips aren't a problem this time, bur there's already drift on one of the sticks and the R-trigger is squeaking loudly. It feels like these things are destined to break down quickly despite being the most comfortable and satisfying controllers to use.

    All parts were included in this open box item. Works well with my Desktop and laptop to allow me to play several games as I am still not comfortable with mouse and keyboard.

    I had bought a refurbished series 2 originally, geek squad refurbished. It was $99 dollars, and I bought the 2 year warranty. When I went to exchange it after mine had gotten pretty run down, I was told I would need to pay $100+ to get another. They tried to up sell me a brand new one, which I did not appreciate, nor did I see anything about that when I bought it. They ended up getting me an open box one so I only had to pay like $20, but they should really be more open about the warranties. They said they “didn’t have any” geek squad refurbished ones, even though that’s the store I bought the original from. If you offer a warranty on a product, then you should be able to replace the product if you have a warranty, no more, no less than the original. It’s a great controller, probably best on the market but there have always been stuck drift and button issues over time. Most button issues can be fixed by popping it open and hitting them with some rubbing alcohol, but the stick drift is tough. Best way to avoid getting it in the first place, is DO NOT use the sticks on the tightest setting. Keep them loose, and it will last way longer.

    This controller has great quality although its durability tends to present stick drift after only a few months. I have tried other controllers such as the new turtle beach elite controller and this is far superior for the price, however, unless you are willing to return the controller after six months for a refurbished one or buy a kit to repair this yourself it will almost always get drift relatively soon. I had a series 1 and it was amazing after years of use. I have had 4 series two and the controllers always have issues with drift or the bumpers stop working correctly. These have been reduced in price recently without all of the extras, however, a regular controller will get the job done for half the price.

    Best controller on the market! This might be the best thing Microsoft has ever created. No other controller comes close to its perfection. Only wish it worked on all consoles.
