This controller is fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this for a month. I will updated if I have any issues in the coming months. I did not own the series 1 so I can not compare. I also do not play everyday, but more like 3 days a week and I have not had to charge the controller a second time yet. My favorite feature is the tighter tension on the thumbtacks and the hair triggers. I have no buttons that stick and they all register with a normal push. Nice heavy feel to the controller. The charge dock is a huge bonus and love that you are able to charge it in the case. No complaints yet. Highly recommended.

Great but not durable
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller feels great and gives you a competitive advantage in FPS games. The only issue is that not longer after use, you get some stick drift and the bumpers feel like they’re going out. It’s too expensive to go out as quickly as it does.

Xbox Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a fan of these controllers. Love that you can tighten down the sticks, change how far you need to press the triggers, and also save 3 different settings for games.

SOLID CONTROLLER!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Caught this while on sale and it's still holding up strong after a few months. Well worth picking up if you can catch it on sale. No stick drift yet, so fingers crossed.

Great controller but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller but the buttons tend to stop working and you get stick drift alot. Microsoft needs to rework these controllers big time. They do have great battery life though. Buy a warranty on this because after a year you will need another controller.

GREAT DEAL/PURCHASE
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The whole controller is so comfortable, I can play for like 3 days straight without charging it, because I mainly play for 4 hours a day. The case that has the charger in as well is awesome!!

Investment, but worth every penny and frustration
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent controller and entirely customizable for personal use or even special use cases in games you want different control styles. It is built like a brick s-house. The problems arise when connected to PC to game as advertised. The connection drop outs using bluetooth are infuriating. And yet, even with the cost, I refuse to use anything else. I even bought a second one for the game room in the basement. They are just that good. Certain games will have connection drops, such as Halo Infinite Campaign, AC Vallhalla, and Cyber Punk 2077. Some of those titles have somehow fixed the issue (or it has stopped happening to me at least) but some games persist in dropping connection. And its not a battery thing, or a pc problem. Its the actual controller signal. Heres the thing though, its worth the few headaches. I cant imagine not using these to game. They also have a great feature to allow more than one connection. You can connect it to your PC and if you want to quickly swap to an already connected xbox series x then you douple tap the tiny connection button and it should swap control to the new device as long as you have previously setup that connection. Well.made, accurate response, smooth triggers that can customize travel distance, extra paddles can be installed on the back, shoulder buttons are the best you have ever used, and the sticks have zero dead zone issues. Its an expensive beast, but it is worth it. You wont ever pickup the base contoller again once using the elite 2. Plus, it charges using usb c

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. Paddles are easy to hit and have enough of a gap avoiding miss hits. Lots of fine tuning (hardware and software) I was not expecting. This is my go to. I wish it had a capture button. The work around I found is to set a custom capture button on a different profile. The controller allows for you to cycle through profiles very easily. It also has a great battery life.

No need to purchase more controllers
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. I enjoy the feel and the ability to map the back buttons. Other in the house also have different button mappings that are easily controlled directly from the controller. I have not experienced any drift and the RB/LB buttons haven't failed me like the E1

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad controller works well responds well but stick drift came in quick after about a few months had to return. The first one I bought was not working at all. The second one I got is working well other than a little bit of stick drift the Best Buy team was very helpful on swapping the controller for a new one.

Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller is over all good the buttons need to be sealed more to keep dirt and dust out of them.

AWESOME
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great upgrade to the previous Elite. I had an issue with the left joystick on the Elite 1. Swapped it for the Elite 2 and have been super impressed! Microsoft got smart and made this controller a rechargeable unit. It comes with a charging dock ad well. Best part...the battery life is GREAT! The controller feels very substantial in your hand and isn't flimsy AT ALL. I highly recommend! Make sure to get the Geek Squad warranty...just in case. Its totally worth it. Especially when you're spending this kind of cash on a controller!
