Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

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

Some improvements but not all of them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The body and grips are an improvement over the v1 Elite controllers, but there’s already issues with the RB/LB buttons wearing out and becoming non-responsive like they did with the v1. For the cost, Microsoft really needs to address that. These shouldn’t wear out in 9-12 months for this price. I’ve already had to replace mine once.

Don’t purchase from Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this for my son’s birthday while it was on sale before christmas. his birthday is the second week of January, and the controller was nicely priced at around $104 or something like that. The controller worked great, out of the box, but come back a week later and it is dead. No biggie, but long story short, after trying to charge it for a few days, still not working, so go to take it back and was denied by Best Buy. They said I should have purchased the $50 extended warranty or some such. Disappointed to say the least. Wont be purchasing from Best Buy again. That same day, purchased new washer (not from BB though)…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Wish it was built better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted this controller to be the quality that would reflect the price tag. But unfortunately, my second one kept me from trying a third. The first lasted around six months. I’m a light gamer. Took care of how I treated it. The right trigger and right stick started failing. Used my Geek Squad protection and swapped it for the second one. The new controller had the sticking button issue and returned it right away. All the negative reviews on the controller are true. I imagine there are good ones out there by the positive reviews, I just didn’t get that lucky. Too much money to have the negative quality control issues it has. If built with care from the factory, it would be worth the money in my opinion. Great feel and materials. I’m not the third time a charm kind of person. I hope the Elite 3 will address and fix the issues from the previous two. If you do purchase the Elite 2, get the protection plan.

I would recommend this to a friend Too expensive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love everything about it but the price. Its been about a month and quality/build seems excellent. I really enjoy the controller but i still struggle with how much the cost was. I dont regret the purchase but I dont know if i can recommend someone else to spend the same for it.
