The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

Fantastic controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I’m partial to the PS controllers due to not liking the feel of stock XBox controllers, this one is amazing. It’s got great weight, and feels like a premium product. The personalization options are great and it’s very easy to setup. If you play a lot of games, get one. Your hands deserve it.

Best Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This version of the controller is much better than the first generation. Buttons and controller feel premium. By far the best controller I've ever used. We now own 3 elite controllers

Save a few bucks if you already own a elite.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, if you already have an elite controller take the paddles off the back side and switch them over and save a few bucks.

Feels much better than Standard controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PROS * The overall feel is much better than the standard controllers * the ABXY paddles are great to use as long a you get used to actually using them. The only time I don't use them is when I have to have a finger on a button to tap fast several times in a row since thumb speed is much faster than trying to press the paddle button with middle or ring finger. In most scenarios is gives you the ability to keeps your thumbs both on the thumb-sticks while being able to press ABXY. * replaceable thumb-stick grips is nice. CONS * The thumb-sticks wear out after a while and then start to have drift issues or inaccurate movement. This can be fixed by refurbishing the controller to have new thumb-stick part on the internals but that either needs money or skills to do. * my first 2 elite controllers lasted about 2 years each before I started having thumb stick issues. Both issues were on the left stick used for movement. Will be curious to see if this one is any different. * expensive

3rd time is the charm...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t get me wrong 5 stars all day, but there is a quality control issue. It took me 3 elite 2 controllers to find one that didn’t have an issue with the A button sticking. Now that I have no issue I love it. It is everything you wanted the elite to be. Being able to make the the trigger button as quick as a mouse click really makes this a much more competitive play up against a keyboard and mouse.

I LOVE THIS CONTROLLER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE this controller! The controller has some weight to it, which I like. The paddles and d-pad are made of metal and very sturdy. The stem of the sticks are also metal. The paddles, sticks, and d-pad are easy to switch out, no tools needed. Programming controller is super easy using the app on the Xbox or computer. I have smaller hands and the position of the paddles that come with the controller aren't bad. I have switched mine out to use the scuff ones and the difference is marginal between the two. If you need to feel the click of the paddles (I personally don't care about that clicky feel) then switching to the scuff ones is for you. I am pretty rough on my controllers and so far so good. If you are in the market for a premium controller then this one is a great option. I wouldn't pay any mind to the bad reviews they probably just had a bad one, which happens in manufacturing. I had no issues connecting it to my new Series X and it works flawlessly. Get this controller you won't be sorry

Great controller just one thing...
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not know how to use all of the back buttons on the controller. It comes with one little magnetic piece to connect it but that's it. Other than that it is definitely a solid controller

Stick drift
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller is amazing until it starts having issues. I've had mine for a month and its got stick drift in the right analog. The RB button will register twice when pressed once, sticking buttons, its sad. I love this controller but it would get 5 stars if it was built with better quality internally.

Sexy Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clean sexy controller , too bad Microsoft cheaped out and couldn’t add the additional paddles and accessories. If you go out and buy them separately you end up spending more than If you just bought the elite 2 controller
