    When new, the controller works fantastically. Key phrase is WHEN NEW. This is the 3rd elite controller that I am now going to have to replace because of stick drift, sticky buttons, and the headphone jack not working. Each controller started showing these issues just a few months in. You're probably thinking "Okay no problem, I'll just pay for the Best Buy 2 year warranty, then I can get a new controller whenever I want". HAHA good luck EVER finding them in stock. THEY WON'T EVEN ORDER THEM FROM MICROSOFT FOR YOU. My controller has been a piece of garbage for a couple of months now, but can't get it replaced thanks to Best Buy's constant lack of inventory on them. I have the listing bookmarked and check daily to see if they have any in stock, and they never do. Overall I do NOT recommend this controller for any gamer. Only reason I gave two stars is the controller is very nice when its brand new out of the box. However, you will regret it when you pay this much money and are without a useable controller for months at a time, after only using the thing for a couple of months.

    I love this controller! Not the easiest to set up once you get into the program on your XBox as everything has to be done individually, would be much easier to do on a computer with a mouse and keyboard. Once you get it set up though it's awesome!

    Same controller as the regular elite 2, just newer. And hopefully they fixed the bumper issue with these. Otherwise, very happy.

    Best controller I have invested on. I’ve been wanting this controller a bit before covid kicked in but it was difficult to find. Glad to say the wait was worth it. I use this controller on my Xbox, my phone and my pc.

    Very sturdy. Doesn’t feel cheap. Nice weight, that makes you feel like you’re really in the game. Built in battery is very convenient and long lasting. Customizing and tweaking to your preferences makes it the best available controller out there.

    Love the feel and customizability of this controller. I can’t even pick up the stock controller anymore after having felt the quality of this one. Definitely a little expensive, but I think that overall it’s worth the price

    me and my son were looking forward to this controller. love the battery built in was having fun using it then the right bumper went bad. i have sent it out for replacement. as i was looking at my Microsoft page i saw my 1 year warranty had the wrong expiration date [4/20/20]! how does a controller that came out in November expire in April? i called up they said would be fixed and next day it showed expiration of 2/4/20 called back to hear them say they will try to fix but they changed the warranty to 90 days for a 200.00 controller. 1] they cant changed a promised warrenty after you purchase it still trying to get threw to them to fix it
