I love it more than the original Elite!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller definitely comes with a price premium and I was hesitant to shell out that much for a controller, but with my original Elite on its last leg after years of use, I decided to give it a chance and I was not disappointed. First off, it's very comfortable- I love the grips they chose and how they made them go all the way around the controller this time. I also like that they've added a grip texture to the shoulder buttons, a nice touch. Like the original, this one includes 3 sets of thumb sticks. This time however, they're a little different. I think it has a set of 360 control sticks this time, at least they feel that way to me. I've been playing around with a few different ones and I've enjoyed using them all for different games. The d-pad of course is pretty much the same and that's not much of an issue. Both the d-pad and the circular d-pad are fantastic. The paddles are similar to the original but have a few differences. They're a little smaller and now they don't feel like they get in the way. And this time it feels like they require a little more effort to press them in, which is a good thing to me. I've had way less accidental presses with the new paddles. Like the old Elite, this one includes the same carrying case and braided charging cable, which is great. But you also get the ability to charge your controller while it's in its case thanks to the charger pass-through slot and the charging dock that's included, which is a very welcomed addition. You also get a rechargeable battery included (finally!). However, it is non-removable unless you take the controller apart. You also get 3 on-board profiles plus the default profile that you can change with the press of a button, and of course you store hundreds more on the Xbox accessories app. There are many other new features packed into this controller that you'll have to research yourself, but overall I'd definitely recommend this to anyone that was a fan of the original Elite. Microsoft has pretty much fixed every issue that the first one had and improved on so many things.

Xbox Elite Controller

Solid controller, weirdness with the warranty…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had bought a refurbished series 2 originally, geek squad refurbished. It was $99 dollars, and I bought the 2 year warranty. When I went to exchange it after mine had gotten pretty run down, I was told I would need to pay $100+ to get another. They tried to up sell me a brand new one, which I did not appreciate, nor did I see anything about that when I bought it. They ended up getting me an open box one so I only had to pay like $20, but they should really be more open about the warranties. They said they “didn’t have any” geek squad refurbished ones, even though that’s the store I bought the original from. If you offer a warranty on a product, then you should be able to replace the product if you have a warranty, no more, no less than the original. It’s a great controller, probably best on the market but there have always been stuck drift and button issues over time. Most button issues can be fixed by popping it open and hitting them with some rubbing alcohol, but the stick drift is tough. Best way to avoid getting it in the first place, is DO NOT use the sticks on the tightest setting. Keep them loose, and it will last way longer.

Ehh
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid materials but the contriller seems to get stick drift extreme fast. It also randonly loses connection a lot. Its definitely not worth full price mayne not even a sale. Consider other controllers first.
