No stick drift so far

The charging case works well and is pretty convenient and the cable is nice and braided.

Elite controller is great if you can afford it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome and I don’t even take advantage of half of the features it provides. It is very expensive though so I’m still waiting to see how well it holds up and for how long.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this controller to play Elden Ring on PC thinking it would be the better choice on a Windows PC. The weight and feel of the controller was top notch, the ability to remap a lot of the buttons and reassign buttons to the paddles underneath was great feature....if the controller worked. I exchanged the first one due to the A button being unresponsive, hoping it was a one-off. After trying the new one, it seemed fine until a few days later then the A and Y keys stopped being responsive. So now I'll give up and go back to the PS controller (which I subsequently tried in ER and it was night-and-day difference). Overall, really disappointed in the quality for the astronomical price for the controller. Would have been great if the buttons all held up.

Amazing Controller.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality is beyond what I had expected. This thing thinks of everything and things that I didn't now I wanted. I think the price is worth it, but I bet they go on sale from time to time! I am using it exclusively with my PC, and It has been my favorite purchase as of recent!

Good improvement
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good improvement with the battery and Bluetooth. As far as “physical” upgrades go, if your gen 1 Elite controller is still performing well, then keep using it. This is for those who need to replace their gen 1 or for those who are looking into getting an Elite controller for the first time.

Very nice aesthetic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ended up returning due to inability to find paddles locally however, this was a very nice controller. If the opportunity arises, I'll grab one again and throw some paddles on it.

Plagued with manufacturing problems
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I love this controller. This and the Series 1 are phenomenal. Problem is I've had to return it twice and the Series 1 (6 times). First Series 2 purchased in October, problems started in January. I dealt with it until March. Returned for refund because they were backordered. Got a replacement on June 5, 2020, same problem started on June 11. Returned. Didn't buy another one. The problems I encountered are as follows. Stick Drift. After using controller, I set it down and approximately 10 seconds later, the cursor would move on it's own. This was also a problem on the Elite Series one which I had to return about 6 times over 3 years. That's ridiculous. And to think the Series 2, costing $30 more than the Series 1, has the exact same issue. A second issue I had was sticky ABXY buttons. One press might register multiple presses. This started out of the box and I was hoping for a firmware upgrade to fix the issues. If Microsoft gets their manufacturing issues sorted out, I'd purchase again. If not, I will not be buying another one. And I do not recommend It.
