What a great gift. This remote will never net you down.

great feel of a controller. I love the elite back buttons too. The interchangeable joysticks are great for longevity.

I have owned this controller for 3 years give or take. I have never thrown or dropped this controller. I have always kept it in its case, on my desk. It has never traveled or been taken anywhere. It has never had a single drop of liquids touch it. I had to have it replaced twice due to manufacturer defects. I have babied this thing, because I have cancer and cannot work, I cannot afford the astronomical price to replace it. But after hearing the rattle of something small moving around inside the controller for a few weeks, I decided to open it up today. What I found should be an absolute embarrassment for Microsoft. Upon further inspection, it became obvious to me that the plastic that is used to make this controller was deteriorating on its own. The grips were peeling off, several chunks of thin flimsy plastic had somehow broken off on their own on the interior of the controller. Again, this controller has never, not once, absorbed any kind of shock. There has not been a single event or instance that could have caused even a single piece of the controller to break. Yet somehow, there are several broken off pieces and parts. The only conclusion I can come to is that Microsoft uses extremely cheap materials to make them. And for a $200 controller, that is shameful. And with the warranty only being a year, its pretty clear that Microsoft is 100% aware that this controller will not last. And now here I am, clearly a fool for trusting Microsoft to make a quality, top of the line controller. What a huge letdown. When it works correctly, I loved it. But between stick drift and constant bumper issues, along with the very cheap materials used, I cannot recommend this in good conscience. I have a 3rd party Xbox One controller that has seen at least double the use, been dropped, thrown, tossed, had soda, water, coffee, etc. spilled on it (it is used by my kids), and is also 2 years older, that works flawlessly still to this day and cost 1/5 of the price. I feel a bit scammed. This controller has so much potential, if only Microsoft put some care and quality craftmanship into the manufacturing process. Instead, they are trying to fool us into having to buy a new one every year or 2.

I love the xbox eilte controllers. The dumbsticks and the grips feel are really smooth. It works well when connecting to your PC.

amazing controller easy to use will buy again if i need another controller would recommend this controller

It’s an elite what do you expect 10/10 controller all around

Great controller; it feels sturdy in my hands and has the right amount of weight. The fact that it is customizable is a definite plus. It's worth the price.

I can't go back to using another controller. The trigger locks and rubber grips make a big difference.

Great controller easy to connect and i like the extra paddles to customize the buttons

This is an incredible controller,feel amazing, affordable,and 40 hour charge makes this the best gift to yourself and others.

This controller serves me well for gaming sessions. I’ve never had any issues with battery life, and the hand feel is second to none. My only complaint is that paddles and other thumb sticks are sold separately, but other than that this controller hits above its price point.

I really wanted to like this controller, it felt very solidly well made, except for just one annoying thing: the rubber or latex or whatever material the black side grips are made of made my palms very itchy. Im not sure why. If it did not do that, i probably would have happily kept using this controller. Heres hoping microsoft uses a different, non itchy material for their future elite series 3 controller, if and when they release it.

This XBOX Elite series 2 core controller pairs well with PCs. I tried using my PS controller and it gave me a hard time. I would definitely buy another one.

LOVE ITTTTTT THIS IS THE BEST ONE TO DROP YET!! FEATURES ARE WILD

Christmas Gift for my husband. He will love it. His current one is literally falling apart.

No complaints at all! No need to worry about battries and the grip on the controller handles are great!

Bought this as a replacement for my old Elite that went out. Haven't had any troubles out of it outside of a little stick drift, but that's expected.

Superior to the normal controller plus it can be easily recharged.

Best controller. 200 well sent. Just got another one.

Best Xbox controller I have ever used. Great customization options.
