Great controller excellent quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller is great, it actually did improve my game! And as a testament to how good the grip is, I accidentally left the controller on the roof of my car. Not knowing I did I drove of went to two different places (gas station and friend’s house), to my surprise it was still there! I couldn’t help but laugh.

Stick drift after 3 months of casual use
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. It feels very nice in hands. The grips are a huge upgrade over the Series 1 controller, and having 3 presets also makes a huge difference. After 3 months of use though, I got major stick drift. Best Buy will not help but Microsoft has a 1 year warranty because of this problem. I'm sending my controller to Microsoft now for free but it will take 2-3 weeks to get a refurbished controller sent back to me. I'm very upset that there are no good controller companies with paddles that aren't the overpriced scuf controllers. It's a bummer that they didn't just put nice joysticks in this very expensive controller. Other than that, it is really great but that is game breaking.

Good eegonomics
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took a moment to get used to the extra paddles (which are optional) but I can't go back to a regular controller now. Only issue I found is that the rubber grip on the controller will peel off with time. I suggest getting a cover/sleeve for it to prevent or delay that issue from happening.

Awesome controller!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So when I finally got my hands on the series x I bought a second controller so my son and I could play. The x box controllers are great! This controller is a total game changer. If you play FPS games having those paddles on the back will automatically up your game. This thing feels rock solid! I love that you can set the trigger distance, that was a big plus! Bottom line I would have went straight to this controller! It rocks!

Has problems
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got 3 different controllers and all of them had a problem where the A button wouldn’t work if you pressed it a certain way. My brother had one where the A button would get stuck in the down position. The updated paddles are better than the old version. I think it’s the best gaming controller out there when it’s working properly.

The best Xbox controller!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This feels amazing to use especially with the grip being all around the controller. I love the paddles and extra thumb sticks.

Solid controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller is solid and overall the best xbox controller out right now. I only use two back buttons. If you’re looking for 4 back buttons, I’d suggest the Scuf Instinct Pro. Would also suggest getting the 2 year warranty from Best Buy because controllers are prone to having sticky buttons and stick drift over time.

It's an Elite Controller, but is the core
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better build quality than the standard controller; heavier with more quality materials. Easy to sync with your Xbox or connect to a PC. Note that it's the Core controller so you need to already have/buy separately the accessories for the back buttons (I didn't realize that but had them on hand from a broken controller before).

Great controller for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.
