Very good controller makes playing games more enjoyable can adjust just about anything you would want to

Open Box item in excellent condition for $109.... couldn't pass it up! Took a little bit to get used to using it... now it is the only controller I will use.

The top bumpers stopped working with the first month. 3 months in, they work every now and then. I’ve had issues in The middle of a game with them and it has been frustrating.

I got this controller for my dad as a gift. I already had one for years. Once you tried this you can never go back to a regular controller, they feel like toys after.

Definitely was a wait to get this controller but it’s so comfortable and amazing to the feel. You can adjust the thumb sticks with a tool and it feels like the original controller or 360. Think it’s also cool it’s rechargeable already included and the case is super nice.

If you have the original Elite 2 with the paddles, sticks, and charger, then this one is the perfect one to get. Works just like the original, but better price. The only beef is eventually you will get stick drift which sucks because all controllers get stick drift, but you pay more for this one. The controller settings allow you to mitigate the drift for a while, but eventually you will have to buy another, or do surgery on the controller.

Very good controller could have been a 5/5 but just doesn’t come with paddles but Amazon has some great ones though

First, I had the elite controller 1st generation, and it stopped sending audio to the headset. I thought that it was my headset so I bought a new one. I had the same issues with a new headset. I found out that it was actually the controller. After my elite 1st gen failed (after about 1yr.), I bought the elite 2. I figured the failure of the first may have been a fluke. However, after about 9 months, the elite 2 started to have issues with headset audio… Which happened after “A” button issues. Then, I started to have issues with the controller randomly disconnecting from the xbox in the middle of gameplay. Now, it just totally failed. All of a sudden (middle of gameplay), half of the buttons stopped working. Tried resetting the Xbox, resetting the controller, and still not working. Don’t waste $200 on a controller that only lasts 1yr. Happened with my elite 1, and again with the elite 2.

It’s heavy compared to the rest of the newer gen controllers. But the stick drift is unreal. Whatever you do, make sure to purchase the warranty if you buy this controller!

Love the controller. Being able to run and reload without taking my fingers off the face buttons is absolutely game changing.

The bumpers will stop working after a while. I have had it for almost a year and I started having issues about 6 months in.

Needed to replaced a well used controller. Although a little pricier, i was pleasantly surprised at how versatile the settings were and the simplicity of adjustments for most any play style. Money well spent in my opinion !!! Very pleased with this controller choice !

Pros: customizable, sleek, very easy to use Cons: the hit sticks don't completely work. yes movement is there but the controller does not recognize when I push the sticks down. The value is there with the open box.

Very solid controller. Does not come with paddles for use. I should have read a bit more closely.

Works very well and very sleek. Hopefully it will last longer than the basic controllers, which seem to have a two year lifespan max.

4th time purchasing out of warranty. (1-3 were all the first gen elite controllers). 1st controller had stick drift even with dead zones set crazy high. 2nd controller right thumb stick was pressed and never retracted. 3rd controller the battery would die after 10 min of use (had to use wired). Decided to give a shot at the second gen elite figured they might have ironed out their issues AND NOW MY 4th has unbelievable controller drift. I will never buy a overpriced controller again from Microsoft. I’ve wasted almost 800 I’m just happy this last controller took a **** before the return date was up. It’s sad because I really loved the controller but I can only take so much abuse. I will be returning tomorrow

Very nice controller, but using it with windows can be a bit of a chore at times.

I had a series 1 Elite and the only problem I had was with the rubber grips. They fixed that issue with the series 2. Very happy I bought another one. The Bluetooth option is great for connecting to your phone or computer as well.

Much better feel that the normal xbox controler. The ability to choose what feels comfortable is great

Upgraded my original Elite remote to this one and I am finally able to use the rear buttons. For some reason the original remotes rear buttons were to large/long and I would accidentally press them all the time. With the new remote they’ve improved on that a lot. Great remote.
