Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Some improvements but not all of them

    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.

    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.

    The controller is excellent. It is making a noticeable difference in my gaming. Training myself to use it has been a different battle. Noticeable issues are the occasional missed press. When the remote has been dormant for longer than 10+ seconds, it seems to need a second press to engage.

    A noticeable upgrade over the Series X default controller. Sturdier in hand, quieter button presses, full customization of stick and paddles, but most importantly, reduced input lag that has actually helped me get more kills in FPS games! I didnt think the price was worth it, but now that I have this controller, couldnt game without it!

    They are a great upgrade from normal controllers but they produce heat very easily and the rubber grip will eventually start to peal off which blows but overall 8/10
