Excellent Controller

Great Xbox pro controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really do think Xbox is making these controllers better than how they launched with the black ones, it’s solid, has amazing battery life, pretty much get 40 hours out of it per charge which compared to my ps5 controller, that’s night and day, love how you can change the Xbox logo color in settings as well!, great triggers for FPS games.

It's great when it works... but for how long?
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's easily the best controller on the market... when it works. It worked perfectly for about a year and a half then suddenly I developed severe right stick drift. The Microsoft warranty had expired by about 2 weeks, but they were gracious enough to except it anyways. But it was a hassle getting a quality controller back. They admitted that the drift was so bad it couldn't be replaced, so they sent me a refurbished one (uh oh). On this replacement the "A" button didn't function properly, so it went back again. On the next one, its "A" button also didnt work, so away it went. 3rd time is a charm, right? WRONG. This one had a faulty bluetooth transmitter so I couldn't connect it at all. At this point I finally talked Microsoft into a full refund, which they did. I'm giving it 3 stars because it is hands down the best controller on the market when it works properly, but don't be surprised when it goes it.

Great quality, but pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well constructed, feels premium. Still not sure what to do with the back pedals, but all the buttons function without fuss like other xbox controllers xan sometimes. Would be a 5-star if not for the high cost. If you want the controller of your dreams and can afford it, then it's a great pickup. Otherwise try to wait for a sale

Pricey, but worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality, good battery life (for my use), but should cost a little less considering all the accessories it doesn’t have. However, I got this a replacement for the more expensive one and all the extra buttons and paddles work seamlessly on both

Much improved over the first one
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the first Elite controller and it had a lot of quality issues. The rubber grips would peel up after a few months and on one the sticks became very loose to the point where if you turned the control upside down they would move out a quarter of an inch. Luckily I had Geek Squad protection so when these issues came up I was able to get a replacement. So far with the Series 2 I have had none of these issues. I have put several hundred outs on this controller and it is still as solid as the day I bought it. The built in battery is nice too and lasts a very long time between charges.
