Broke within 1 month
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bluetooth button jammed in the “on” position. Will not work wirelessly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Battery life, Overall performance
Twice as good as the first one!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.$180 might seem expensive but for 3x the cost of a normal controller you are getting a beast of a gamepad - incredibly durable with super-precise inputs and haptic feedback triggers. The built-in battery (no more AA batteries) can last as long as 40 hours and there is this awesome charging pedestal included as well as a 9ft heavyduty braided USB-C cable so you can keep playing while you charge. There are 3 user profiles so you can customize your COD, Forza, and Gears5 controls (or any other games) using the Xbox Accessories App and recall them with a tap of a button. Controller comes with all sorts of accessories like replacement sticks with convex and concave thumbpads and a tool to tighten the analog movement making it more stiff and precise. Also holding slots for the 4 butterfly paddles if you prefer to remove them. And all this comes in a heavyduty canvas carrying case. Elite 2 controller also connects to your Win10 PC using the included 9ft USB-C cable or wirelessly with new built-in Bluetooth support (PC must have Bluetooth or you can buy the Insignia BT USB adapter for $20) Win10 also has version of the Xbox Accessory App for setup. This is easily the most durable and flexible controller I have ever owned. There were reported quality issues with the first Elite controller back in 2015 and it looks like Microsoft addressed all of these concerns while making several consumer-requested feature improvements. The Elite 2 is also confirmed to work with next year's new Xbox Scarlett so your investment is safe moving forward into the next generation.
