    Excellent controller. Feels sturdy and satisfying in the hands. The customization options are really nice, with obvious design choices aimed at different genres of gaming. The adjustable triggers feel solid in all settings and treating them like a button is satisfying in both fps and RPGs. The case is, I'll just say it, really cool- the charge block is magnetized to the zipper pouch and it's a really aesthetic setup. Plus there's more than enough extras here to support getting a second controller in the much cheaper core series.

    Best cobtroller i have used, but it will get stick drift eventually. Get insurance for sure, and just keep trading it in whenever the stick drift starts to show. Its an unfortunate necessity.

    Pros - Great fit and feel. Easy to use. Long lasting charge. Easy to setup. Cons - still not as hardy as it should be - stick drift happens within a year. Buttons break / wear out within a year.

    Great controller had one before but used it till it was on its last leg, was originally recommended by a friend, makes gameplay 10x more elite (ahhh see what I did there). Still bad at the game and miss 80% of my shots but it’ll take a different players gameplay to the next level

    I like many features about this but there are some things I wish I could further tweak. Pros: - So much button and stick customization - RGB light behind Xbox logo - Metal D-pad and back button triggers - Quality feel - Rubber grips do a good job of helping with “sweaty palm syndromes” by being a quick drying grid style rubber Cons: - Much heavier than any custom controller I’ve ever owned - Not personally a fan of back button trigger placement/configuration - RGB light not very vibrant or as expansive in colors available as it likes to advertise I think overall I’m happy with the purchase, but I don’t think I’ll buy it again. I will wait for what they make next or seek a different brand.

    This controller has been working so much better than the $60 controllers that i kept buying. Paying more for the elite series not only lasts longer but it provides a much smoother experience and quick reaction time. Also, thumbstick is metal so it doesnt scrape plastic off like the other ones.

    My other controller finally died on me after 2 years, so I decided to buy this one. Highly recommend if you already have the paddles and are looking for a good controller.

    Even though I return this item is an excellent controller it’s really comfortable to hold you get better aim in first person shooter games and the batteries built-in value for what you get high it’s really expensive that’s why I returned it

    This is the second elite series 2 controller I buy and is faulty weeks after purchase. The first one started having a uncontrollable stick drift, this one is having its buttons stuck and also the triggers don’t detect pressure so it’s not any good for racing games, if it wasn’t for those issues it would get 5 stars for the ergonomics and customization.

    Must buy controller - Must buy protection plan

    GET THE PROTECTION PLAN - DO NOT ARGUE This controller is awesome. Takes time getting used to the paddles, but once you do its a game changer. I just recently returned my old one, using the protection plan, and got a brand new one no questions asked. I have had the Elite and now Elite 2s and have used the protection plan for each. Idk how long people would expect these to last, but I can promise you they won't still work perfectly 2+ years and beyond. The ones I returned started having stick draft and the paddles were spotty after about 8-12 months. Not too severe but enough to make you think maybe it's why you died in warzone that one time. It's at That Exact Point, where you will be happy to have the protection plan / a new controller.

    I like these controllers alot because the battery last forever and the build quality is strong, but the best part is the customizable functions that makes Elite. Having this control much control can give you an advantage during certain games.

    This is a great idea from Microsoft. Controllers usually last about a year with heavy use, the Xbox elite seem to last longer than that. If yours wears out you can simply buy this swap you thumb sticks and back paddles and save a ton of money doing so. These are great controllers and provide the best bang for your buck, aftermarket scuff parts are also very easy to find. I use this on PC and love it. The only negative is that they do have a bit of stick drift right out of the box, my dead zone had to be set at .08 vs .03 for a brand new scuff, i'm not good enough for that to outweigh $ the savings.
