    Feels good. I like the weight and the haptics but the stick drift drives me crazy. Brand new and even when customizing the controller through the Xbox it recognizes out of the box there is stick drift.

    Great controller but one or two flaws

    Love the custimization options but the official microsoft app that goes along with it needs a little work. Also my left thumb stick constantly unscrews itself for some reason. Other thing is i have maybe slightly above average hand size but certainly not huge. Yet when you get some paddles and install those they constantly get in the way of your grip. Even without them the controller feels small. I will need to buy a grip sleeve or something. Other than those 3 things i dont have any problems with the controller itself. I would say overall 2 of my complaints like the app and grips are just personal issues that might be because of my own preference. The 3rd which is the left thumb stick unscrewint itself and feeling like it gets stuck sometimes i would say is manufacturer error or something.

    I’ve been considering buying this elite controller for a while and then I jumped the gun. Honestly it’s way better than the old version. The 1st model, as it may have the same functions as the old elite this version is heavier which feels really good in your hands. I tend to game a lot when I get the chance but with this let me just say you’ll have a lot more better games with freer movements. (Because of the buttons).

    I have been using the original elite controller for years. However, like all video game controllers, it has lost its responsiveness. I was so excited to see that Microsoft was bringing out a new model and preordered it immediately. The new version has great grip and even has grip on the triggers. Also, the new version has three trigger lengths instead of only two that were on the original. My only complaint is that the controller only comes with one tall stick. If you want both sticks to be tall, you can purchase the Kontrol Freak stick extenders.

    Stick drift after 3 months of casual use

    I love this controller. It feels very nice in hands. The grips are a huge upgrade over the Series 1 controller, and having 3 presets also makes a huge difference. After 3 months of use though, I got major stick drift. Best Buy will not help but Microsoft has a 1 year warranty because of this problem. I'm sending my controller to Microsoft now for free but it will take 2-3 weeks to get a refurbished controller sent back to me. I'm very upset that there are no good controller companies with paddles that aren't the overpriced scuf controllers. It's a bummer that they didn't just put nice joysticks in this very expensive controller. Other than that, it is really great but that is game breaking.

    I purchase this to replace my wired XBox 360 controller for the PC. As my review title states, this is a great buy. The Build quality is superb, this really complements my Razer Blade Stealth and I also use this for the Project XCloud. I really cannot complain anything, some will say the price, but as noted the quality is excellent. I recommend this for people who likes to play games and have a job to actually buy it without whining.
