    Controller is good but has started to occasionally stick drift, but other then that it’s been great and worth the money to me.

    Solid FPS wireless controller

    The customization is really nice with the additional 4 back buttons. Thumb stick selection is nice, but a tall stick with a fat head would be better for FPS games for accuracy. Build quality seems sold, and weight feels premium. Wish it came with a wireless dongle. Picked up one up which adds to the total cost, and have only connection 1 drop so far. The D pad sucks. It is not responsive for fast paced games that use this like 2D platformers. I switch to a PS4 controller to play them. I use this for COD Warzone & picked up the warranty as reviews of it failing seem a little too frequent, and COD is harsh on controllers. I prefer the shspe & size of the PS4 & PS5 controllers a lot more, but the lack the buttons on the back. Removing those from the back is easy if you only need 2, or have larger hands and bump the wrong ones too much. It's definitely a med to large hands controller. Software works, and set up is easy

    This is a great upgrade. The controller is so customizable its crazy. Battery life is outstanding. Can also be used while charging. Its just a great controller. Once you use it you will never go back to a regular one.

    Really happy with the quality. The components are each mag based and they are extremely easy to swap out. My only negative comment is the lack of a dedicated screen capture button. It can be mapped as a shift function but i miss the single button ease of use. Otherwise it's a great controller for fighting games and FPS's like Destiny 2

    i cannot stress enough get the protection, rather the total plan or the one off 2 year protection plan. both this and the Sony elite controllers will break in less than three months, this is coming from a moderate player who only plays weekends and a little in the week. if you are a heavy gamer do not cheat yourself. in terms of the actual feel and features its amazing just built with no durability.

    Upon unboxing, this controller feels and plays great. Solid build, great response, worth the money. But inevitably, after the warranty expires, stick drift creeps in. This is my 3rd elite controller, and every one of them got stick drift around the same time. Every time I assime after years they would engineer that out of the next model, but nope, its built in. I buy a lot of mid to high level electronics with no extended warranty, and this is the ONLY product I ever recall failing, and consistently at that. Idk how this is possible. My biggest issue is the warranty is only 90 days, when the standard in any electronics is 1 year. So Microsoft know they dont last. The price on these need to come down, or better yet, extend the warranty to a year. Im tired of getting ripped off on these controllers. Ironically, the generic plastic ones always seem to last longer.

    Amazing, my husband loves his controller. More speed, great design, soft touch and longer battery life. Working on other settings to be implemented. Too busy working!

    I like the interchangeable D-Pad and removable triggers, It took a while to get use to setting up the different profiles and programming them but over all I like it.

    Overall Improvement over Series 1

    I used an Elite Series 1 controller for 6+ years before finally deciding to replace it just after Christmas last year. The Series 2 feels improved in ergonomics and refinement, and all functions feel more crisp in comparison to the Series 1. I've been using the Series 2 for almost nine months now, and it's showing no signs of cosmetic wear. The only minor issue I've noticed is that I have a little bit of play in the left joystick, maybe 2-3% of the overall travel. Typically this is not an issue due to there being a deadzone in most controls, however, I'm not able to get extremely precise with it. Overall, very happy with the purchase and will likely buy a Series 3 after a few more years of using this one.

    I have these congrollers and love them. When they go on sale for this much, I grabbed another. Just in case I ever needed one. That’s how much I like this controller.

    Found this on sale; it was an great replacement for my original controller. The replacement option was the plain xbox controller and once you play with an Elite it is hard to turn back.
