Elite 2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I’ve ever used. The LB on the first gen elite controller gave out on multiple occasions so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen with this one, but as of now no complaints whatsoever.

I would recommend this to a friend Incredible

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:A button
Test controller button before you play with it.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller has a good build quality. The back paddle is a nice for racing/shooting game. However the I noticed my controller A button seems faulty: It has a 30~40% chance miss, my normal XBox Series X controller does not have this issue. I am still in the return window so was able to return it to Bestbuy. I did a Google search and I found I am not only one having this issue, so making sure you have tested the controller buttons before playing.

Awesome controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The series 2 has several slight improvements over the original elite controller. Together these improvements add up to the best controller I’ve ever owned. The only negative about this controller is the price.

Great quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can definitely feel the quality of the controller. Much better then the controller that the system comes with. I would definitely recommend this controller.
I would recommend this to a friend Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Xbox controller out there...Liked it so much i bought a second one...
I would recommend this to a friendBuy with Best Buy Plus to save.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this because the price was really good with the "member price". Now I do not care about color, but the red was cheaper than the white or blue, so that is what I purchased. I already had a Elite Series 2 controller that has some pretty severe stick drift in the right thumbstick, so I was able to get this and just use all of the accessories from that controller with it.

Great Xbox Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband absolutely loves this controller. The fact you can customize your controller and it allows the changing of settings with just a button makes it super easy to use.
