Doesn't feel cheaply made
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WAY TOO often I have had to buy Xbox One controllers. Generally, Xbox 360 controllers I didn't have to replace and seemed to be a sturdier design, but it seems I'm lucky if an Xbox One controller lasts more than a year or two at best. Since this was on sale, I decided to try a little more expensive model and was intrigued by the additional buttons and profiles/programmability. I do feel they were a little cheap to not include the rear paddles for these new buttons but, since that's the only negative I’ve perceived thus far, I'm still going to give it a full five rating as I can't do a half star. It has been a solid controller thus far! The rechargeable battery has certainly pleased me with how long it lasted before I had to charge it for the first time. That's a good thing because it didn't look like it had a typical user removable battery pack like Insignia's that I'm used to buying which definitely don't last as long per charge. Also, the main home button is a much better design where you don't have to press as deep for it to register. That is one of the first buttons to go bad for me--tends to get less responsive or feels like you have to press/hold harder or do multiple attempts to either get the home menu or power down options as the controller ages.

Good controller with some weaknesses
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third elite controller, and it works well. It feels good to use and does what it's meant to do. I docked it by one star because my past two have had the shoulder buttons fail, which seems to be a recurring problem for these controllers. I have yet to see if this issue has been addressed by Microsoft or if the same problem is still present.

Good controller, I like it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a more premium controller and I got it. The adjustable parts, rechargeable battery, and USB-C really make this worth the extra money.

Premium controller with issues
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially fell in love with the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller for its premium feel and the added customization options it brought to my gaming experience. The tactile feedback, adjustable thumbstick tension, and extra buttons were all features that greatly enhanced my gameplay, especially in competitive titles. However, my enthusiasm took a hit when I encountered control drift issues. It became increasingly frustrating as the controller started registering movement on its own, affecting my gameplay significantly. This was unexpected and disappointing, especially given the high price point of the controller. Fortunately, the controller was still under warranty, and Microsoft's customer service came through by providing a replacement. It's worth noting that this issue should ideally not have arisen, considering the premium nature of the controller and the fact that the standard controller works reliably. Despite the hiccup, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, when functioning correctly, offers an exceptional gaming experience. Just be aware of the potential control drift issue and ensure you're covered by warranty in case you encounter it.

Great Value controller for Xbox and PC
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller serves me well for gaming sessions. I’ve never had any issues with battery life, and the hand feel is second to none. My only complaint is that paddles and other thumb sticks are sold separately, but other than that this controller hits above its price point.
