    The features of this controller are nice and it’s a solid feel. Unfortunately I’ve have problems with connectivity and power cut outs while playing games. Very irritating. I would buy another but the bugs are too annoying.

    It doesn’t have a month of use and the right joystick is already drifting down really bad. Is really expensive, you would think you would not have a problem like that.

    It’s a great control but the LT sticks. That is unacceptable for a $200 control that is only a few days old. Very disappointed.

    intermittently has issues connecting to the device and just blinks without being able to re-sync the controller to the console. it requires the use of a hardline connection to reconnect to the console.

    I regret updating to the Series 2. The Series 1 was better. I have had to replace this model 3 times now. Starts drifting and buttons stop working.

    The controller was beautiful after I bought it. A shiny new toy! You open the packaging, and sniff the brand new controller Like you would buying a brand new car! Now, using it on day one, the Y button is 50% responsive from input press, and sometimes the right bumper doesn't want to cooperate 80% of the time as well! fun times! premium controller! poor in the taste of actual usage.

    Drifting issue (of course). For the amount of money and the warranty from Microsoft and process of trying to return it its obvious not worth it.

    Poor quality. This is my 2nd elite series 2 controller. $60 dollar geek squad plan purchased with original controller. Returned controller because the right bumper stopped working and the trigger lock for the right trigger broke off so I returned it and got another one, paid another $60 for geek squad plan and the thumb sticks literally unscrew themselves while you’re gaming. Don’t waste your money

    The A button doesn't register half the time. It's a fine controller otherwise but unusable. I went through 3 before just getting a refund.
