Great controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buy the warranty. This is my 3rd elite 2. Phenomenon controller but they get stick drift after months. The second one I bought did not even get much use and got it. Best Buy has been great with honoring the warranty at least.

Nice controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller feels nice and easy to use. I have not had any issues with it so far. All though this controller uses a rechargeable battery, the battery life on this controller is very good.

Could have been Great!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Controller for playing on Xbox but with an asterisk. If you want to save your money get the protection plan as the controller will inevitably fail. I am on my 4th one now and so glad that I always get the protection plan.

great controller, personally I prefer era 1
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.its a great controller, the paddles will take a bit of getting used to, but you can remove them easily if you don't want to deal with them, personally I prefer the grip on the era 1 elite controller, but this one is still a great controller for competitive players

Great controller!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller. Customizable in many ways, with my fav being the ability to make the triggers into hair triggers with a simple switch on the bottom of the controller. I love that it's rechargeable and contains the built-in charger in the carrying case.

Shame *ding-ding... SHAME
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sick of it. Firstly, the stick tension is uneven. There is always one side that has more slack than the other, and there's a slight deadspace that is taken that you can feel it gently dragging before engaging the track pad. Secondly, the button registration. This was my 3rd try at the elite 2 since it came out and I'm done. The A button in particular (sometimes others as well) WILL NOT register soft presses that aren't directly over the button. They have curved buttons, it doesn't work out well. You have to Mash the buttons if you want consistency. If you play for hours at a time this starts to hurt your thumb joints. The buttons also have varying tension as well. The one I got had a stiff X button while the others weren't. Does that sound premium to you? Just stick with the regular controller. It's very reliable and was well tested before manufacturing, these not so much. They need to figure it out

Yeah...no thanks.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After many months (maybe years) of my brother telling me to get this I got to say, nope...no really, controller feels amazing, not $180+ dollars amazing tho, yes...mapping, customizing, interchangeable d-pads and joysticks, ja da ja da...still not be able to macro just doesn't do it for me, for example: if you want to map a L1+R1 in one button (paddle in my case) you can't do it, while cheaper options (like 8bitdo pro2 controller) can...I just can't fathom the price tag for just the way the controller feels...sorry, it's a no for me.

4/5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the paddles but it took me time to get used to them. The controller has been disconnecting at random times every few days not sure if something is interfering with the signal. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.
