    Best controller ever made. Period. Reassign the usual controls to back paddles or create a macro for a quick one button press that would have taken 2 button presses to accomplish, like going from standing to laying down without stopping at crouch

    I love playing my Xbox and my elite 1 started to have stock drift, so I figured I’d upgrade since it’s been a while. Got this baby in pretty fast Best Buy was great all things considered but the product came defective out the box. Now I dont know what the process is to return this now that COVID-19 is upon us, but I’ll tell you guys what was wrong out the box. The A button is non responsive a lot and it’s frustrating when I press it to no avail. The controller always disconnects from my Xbox everyday for a random moment. I love the elite controller idea but part of me thinks I should’ve went with a different company like scuff or Astro.

    Great controller. The colors are way better when holding it in hand. The top buttons and triggers are a very nice metallic shade of red. If you don't like the new d-pad, you can switch it out cheaply and easily with traditional cross-type ones since the d-pad and analog joysticks are magnetically attached.

    This is my son’s second Elite controller in less than a year. The first one had a button go bad after a few months of use. He really likes this controller even though it has way to many buttons for me to comprehend.

    Once you hold an Elite Series 2 controller, you will never want to hold anything else. The build, looks and feel are incredible. The controller also has great battery life - claiming over 40 hours of gameplay - although I never tested that theory, the battery life is VERY long. The customization options are great and every gamer should be able to find a button/layout combo that works for them. Downside is that one of the D-pads stopped responding to certain directions just as the warranty expired. After some research, this is not uncommon. C'mon Xbox, a $200 controller should NOT have simple quality issue.
