Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    Best solid controller. Very well made and it’s really good product. The paddles are not plastic but solid some sort of metal. The controller is little heavier side but feels good to hold. It feels you paid for a good product and not just plastic.

    This controllers battery has a long battery charge and I like they use a C type charging cable. This second generation Xbox elite controller is a lot better than the first generation controller because they did Add more upgrades to it to customize it to your play style

    Personally, I prefer the Series 1, simply for reliability. The controller itself is high quality, fits well in the hands, and for PC gamers, the software is easy to use. I've owned two Series 2 controllers, and the first had stick drift after a couple months, and the most recent is having issues with a paddle functioning correctly. With warranty, it's a good call.

    Controller is very nice and well made. You can program it to do whatever you want. It’s solid and a nice weight. My favorite feature is that it charges when you put it back in the case, no plugging it in. I use this controller exclusively now.

    I did lots of research before purchasing and had it narrowed down to this controller and a Scuff prestige. After purchasing the elite I am very happy I went with it. The customization of the controls is great and the feel of the controller in your hand is just what I was looking for.

    Best controller on the market, just make sure to get warranty in case of stick drif or other issues since the controllers aren't cheap.

    Love the feel of this controller. The rubbery grips give a better tactile feel. Slightly heavier, but not so much it feels uncomfortable. Haven’t played with adjustments just yet but the options of swapping out buttons is a definite plus.

    Really enjoying this controller. I love how you can change light color on the center button light and the paddle buttons. Makes playing fps games easier to play. Plus I like the trigger sensitivity control levers so I can just barely press aim and trigger buttons to shoot faster. The battery life is awesome, barely have to charge it.

    Feels good in my hands and has a nice weight to it. This was a replacement for a series one elite that had worn out in a number of ways long before it should have for what I paid. I'm concerned the series 2 will be showing the same wear within the same time period, but decided to take a chance anyway. I guess time will tell. Some third-party controllers have the same weight but simply don't have the same feel as the authentic Microsoft elite controllers, which is why I bit the bullet and went ahead and bought another one despite thinking the last one wore out way too fast for the price point.

    Great controller! I've used it since it came out and has been great. The customization is easy, back paddles are very convenient to use, and the grip makes sure my sweaty hands don't accidentally drop it. My ONLY suggestion is to get the 2 year geek squad coverage on it. You won't regret it. I had some bad stick drift and a bumper not register all the time when clicked. Like all things you use often, they'll get some wear on it. Best buy makes it easy with the coverage.
